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. I wouldn't blame any single player for our defeats because as a team I think we were weaker in both games, yes, Sterling and Coutinho could have scored against City, but they are performing at their level, non of them are clinical finishers. In fact, I don't think we can blame the players to have lost the probably 3 most difficult games of the season so far (away to Arsenal, City and Chelsea). If there is anybody to blame is those running the club because we do not have a squad to compete for top 4, let alone winning the league. I said it before, replacing Reina was a luxury we didn't have we should have concentrated on a DM, a good left back instead of trying our luck with an on loan player a top attacking midfielder. The only priority we gave proper attention is CB. The fight for 4th place will be tough with Moyes now probably improving (even he should be able to get a league winning side in the top 4), Everton having a better team than us (Martinez inherited a good team but made it much better with some shrewd additions) and Spurs has a good team though I still have questions regarding their head coach/manager. If we do not reinforce properly, I won't bet to qualify for CL.

I already placed my bet on us to make top 4. I agree no singe player should be blamed, but the fact is, MIGs let in 2 goals he shouldn't have.
It wasn't Aspas or Smith that made errors during the saves but Mignolet.

All goal keepers make mistakes, not so long ago Hart was benched for a few games, this is why we should have kept Reina instead on cutting on wages. Maybe if we had bought a top player instead of Aspas he could have corrected Mig's mistake by scoring, but then you have agreed no single player should be blamed. I blame only those running the club for having such a thin squad which for some reasons you won't do. With the additional injuries, it is just getting worse.

What game specifically? Big games need big characters. I didn't see Cech or Hart flapping like that

THats the kind of player we need and want at LFC.
Mr.Henry, FSG, you should be ashamed of yourselves for sending him on loan to save a few quid. Especially since you tried to make it look like he was instigating the move. F*ck Off if this is how you are gonna treat the players who love this club.
Pepe, wish you all the best, come back soon. Sorry i didn't start the thread having a go at FSG when Reina left, but here is my post from the thread.

I dont know about most but i never wanted Pepe to leave. I also believe he did speak to Rafa but i believe he was ready to fight for his place. What is best for the club is for us to have 2 high quality keepers, saving on his wages over this season will not make a huge difference. We did not have 2 keepers who had to play this year because of a world cup, but two keepers who both WANTED to play. That would have been great for competition and would have kept them on their tows.
To sacrifice a player like Reina, in a season where a top 4 finish is an absolute necessity for the club is short sighted and unforgivable IMO.
Not only that, but to openly admit it was financially driven over a few million, when as i said, top 4 is a MUST at all costs is really really not acceptable. And another post....so no one can claim i never have a go at the owners. When i think they are making a mistake, i say it.

Indeed, we probably forgot about these based on your most recent posts or the majority of them.

reina is muck and fat. half of the shots migs saved this season reina wouldn't even have moved for..how many times we see him looking at the ball as it goes in , his big fat lazy attitude was infecting the whole squad. we needed a new keeper...migs looked the part but he has flappy syndrome that nobody noticed till now.
