Liverpool 1 Burnley 1 (Sep 16 2017)

Yes, there's some good points above. But, I saw this on redmen tv (last 5 minutes or so) where they go on about people moaning.

Mignolet's kicking - Bar Can , practically every outfield player we have is a footballing pygmy from midfield on. Maradona would struggle to find our players from kick outs.

It wouldn't matter if we had 10 Peter Crouch's on the field, if they're in the opposition half Mignolet would never reach them.

Mignolet's kicking has been solid now for about 3 years. He clears the half with both feet pretty much every single time he kicks it.

Honestly it just highlights how little you must actually watch the game (or watch it through laughably biased specs). Mignolet literally hasn't even put one ball in the stands never mind kicked it flat once in years. His kicking was horrific when he joined. It seemed like he had no power at all. After about 6 months it improved and is now solid.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Cannot understand any keeper not being comfortable kicking or receiving g the ball, they are brought up with it now, back passes stopped years ago. Not sure about none in the stands though for Mignolet. But my memory is crap these days.

Not sure about three years, but it's definitely improved. He could barely reach the halfway line when he arrived; now he comfortably hits it beyond the centre circle. Not amazing but far from shit.

I'd honestly say I reckon it's closer to 3 than 2 but either way it's been solid for a very long time now. It's never going to be Reina levels but there aren't many keepers who could kick a ball as far he could. I find it odd that people reel off nonsense cliches based on really old examples though. Mignolet can be a pain in the arse when his concentration goes but his all round game now is a lot better than it was. If you still don't think he's good enough then fair enough but why perpetuate stupid myths like his kicking is still shit. It clearly isn't and I'd go as far as saying it's more consistent than any of the other keepers in the league bar De Gea.

The move for the first Man City goal starts with his shit kick straight to one of their players. 

 

3 years my fucking arse, less than 3 weeks!

I hate the way we refer to a goalie's ability with the ball at his feet as just "kicking". You'd never have described Gerrard as great at "kicking", you'd say he was good at passing and shooting. Implies the only thing goalies have to do is just whack it straight into the opposition's half as far as possible.

 

Mignolet's decent enough at passing for a goalie, he's fucking dogshit at clearances though. Yes he's improved a bit and can actually find the opposition's half now but Karius is better at both.

[The Guest]

You think that was shit? Honestly if that's the only example you can come up I think we are done here.

What fucking shit. Watch it again, he kicks the ball to firmino who's strayed offside in the meantime. Bobby doesnt challenge for the ball because he knows it would be a free kick and city pick the ball up and start the attack. But dont let those facts colour your judgement or recollection of events.

Mignolet's kicking has improved - from awful to average. It's his throwing (or rather his failure to throw quickly) which is most annoying. I don't expect a keeper to be as good as Reina at quick distribution but when we're trying to break quickly it would be good if Mignolet could at least match what Karius tries to do.

Karius is better at nothing. Than anybody. Even Mignolet.

Eh? I never said his kicking is still shit. I was broadly agreeing with you!

Sorry Paul that second part wasn't aimed at you. It was people in general in relation to what Lifetime fan was doing about Mignolet.

[VladimirIlyich]

Yep, bang on. The person you quoted is talking absolute crap but seems to be the trend amongst some fans nowadays. Crazy world, eh?

Nice of you not to take the whole monopoly on talking shit jimmy,ratcatcher,code,or whatever identity you are using.
