Mignolet

People forgetting how bad Reina was in his last season. He really stank the gaff out. I'd say him and Mig are about level now.

After Christmas Reina was fine, nowhere near his best, but adequate.

Mignolet has been fucking shocking from the minute he has arrived.

 

After Christmas in Reina's last season he had nine clean sheets from 21 games. Does anyone have confidence in Mignolet achieving similar any time soon?

Just been through our games so far with Mingolet in goal. 80 shots on target and 33 goals,so a save percentage well under 50%.

 

Last 5 games

Goals/shots on target

3/5

1/1

4/5

1/2

2/2

 

For a team supposedly based on a lot of analytics and statistical analysis, our transfer committee sure is bad at reading statistics.  And that's on the easiest player to statistically analyse by far, the goalkeeper.

Mignolet has the most clean sheets in the last calendar year.

Hard to believe we chose him when Begovic was available. Or even Forster.

 

After replacing Benitez with Hodgson it wasn't really that hard to believe.  We've a habit of going for the obvious inferior option in near enough all circumstances be it transfers, managers (until Klopp thank fuck) even a Stand rebuild when a Stadium would have been the better option.

Rodgers built a team in his image. Any leaders on or off the pitch were shipped - leaving Henderson as captain of Liverpool.

 

Imo, not enough has been said about the loyalty many of these cunts retain for Rodgers who, after all, got them big transfer fees and massive wages. The inertia in the team, obvious on the pitch most of the time, reflects that.

 

Out with the cunts, in with leaders and winners.

Of the past 19 shots on his goal in the Premier League, he’s conceded 12 of them.

Simon Mignolet: Has made more errors that have led directly to a goal (9) than any other player in the last 3 Premier League seasons #LFC

 

 

The Anfield Chat @TheAnfieldChat

If it was not for Simon Mignolet costing Liverpool an approximate 15 points this season we would be 2nd.

Reina should've have been fucked off when he made it be known that he wanted to join Arsenal. Mignolet should never have been bought, as he clearly wasn't good enough. I remember seeing an interview with Gordon Banks around the time Mignolet signed. He pretty much said he didn't rate Mignolet and thought Begovic would've been a better buy. That's what you get for having a transfer strategy akin to a kid playing Football Manager.

Yep, and with Mignolet before him we were linked with a load of goalies that were good with the ball at their feet then we ended up with someone the complete opposite! Summed up the mess that is our transfer committee, system whatever nicely!!

Just because Mignolet has turned out to be shite doesn't mean we should have kept paying Reina £110k a week to tamely fall over and watch shots roll past him. Anyone who thinks his performances here in his last 2 seasons justified him being one of the best paid keepers in the world needs their head checking.

Reina was a better fit for Liverpool regardless of wages. You never trade downwards and that's precisely what we did with Mignolet.

Even taking into account the difference in wages from a purely footballing point of view Reina fitted into the style Rodgers wanted us to play far better than the twat that replaced him. Reina once played outfield in a friendly, his greatest strength was his ability to read the game and use the ball well. Mignolet couldn't read the very hungry caterpillar and his use of the ball would embarrass a toddler.

 

Replacing Reina with Mignolet made absolutely no sense whatsoever apart from on a financial spreadsheet.

I've defended him plenty of times but he can get to fuck.

Same, I've said all along he was never the problem and he'd improve, but this is beyond repair now. Maybe he can be a top keeper elsewhere, but he just melts under the spotlight at this club.

 

By the way, always interesting to hear David James talk about him, and he's a massive fan, think he's got amazing potential. Strange.
