Agree EMP and I see nothing in the guy to suggest he is any better than late season Reina and as a number of us said at the time priorities were far higher to be shelling out 9 million quid there. I'm starting to feel he is a great Hollywood shot stopper but gets edgy in a lot of other situations.
Blame game aside, Ninja's correct that in both games against top opposition he has been average at best.

I'm with Ninja on this one. The headline of the OP read: IF you want to blame someone, blame Mignolet.
Who can argue against that?
In the last 2 games he HAS failed stopping 2 relatively easy shots by wobbly hands. Isn't that a fact?
And that has NOTHING to do with him saving points for us earlier on in the season - and even yesterday when Lampard fired his shot from out wide.
The fact is Migs has shown weakness and he needs to put an end to that immediately.

No, the idea is to discuss areas we need to improve if we want to end inside top 4.
But hey, some are maybe untouchable?

And after you have blaimed someone, you move on and do something about it, right?
Or perhaps it's better to always look for positives and wipe away all bad things that happen.
Migs has made some mistakes lately, but he doesn't have to improve because he saved a penalty against Stoke.
Is that your logic reasoning?

Let me explain the title of the thread....firstly it says IF, which most have missed.
Now, the team is a collective and should be treated as such and i don't think any single player is to blame. We have however had threads discussing Enrique, Hendo, Allen, Lucas,Gerrard etc....yet Mignolet has escaped criticism. Well, if, and i say IF, you want to blame someone for points dropped in our last 2 games, there is no better candidate then Mignolet. His wobbly hands cost us 2 goals and 2 points.
He seems to be untouchable on here though and hasn't really done much to convince me he is any better than Rei a would have been.
I am not saying we should blame him but since i know the other players will be blamed, i thought i would point out that he has been our weakest link in the last two games.
As for the fact that someone said he never should have had to make those saves an the first place and midfield and defence are to blame, if you really believe you can keep Chelsea and City from having shots at goal at home, i think a reality check is in order. We wouldn't need keepers in the game if that was the case.
Migs ad a job to do and he failed at it.

Let's just hope we finish top 4 for Migns sake.
That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.
