KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Mignolet has to go!

He certainly has areas he needs to improve upon like commanding his area in particular when a through ball should be swept up by him but he stays on his line. That is not a huge skill to bring in but would just add confidence to himself and the CBs if he starts to do it well.

stop mucking about and buy begovic .problem sorted .

I didn't start the thread and i don't think there was was much he could do yesterday, but he dud make some mistakes which cost us points in the big games and he could do with some decent competition. Also anyone ho says Pepe is poor and wanted out etc is mistaken. Pep suffered from the same problems as Migs, lack of competition for that GK spot. Pepe was and always will be a great keeper, he had dips in form yes and was much more reliable early on, but form is temporary, class is permanent.

All i am saying is, we'd be much better off with them both at the club. Few can argue against that.

Yes he has made mistakes but he has also saved us as well. Young keeper in first season heping us to 4th and we still give him a hard time.

Actually his weaknesses have been highlighted for most of the season.Why is it wrong they are pointed out and consistently to boot? It's been in numerous games not just the last one or two people have commented on this.

He is iffy with high balls in which unfortunately is also our biggest CD frailty too, but he is solid in many areas.

I hate the playing it out and across the back that he has been prone to doing but yesterday was clearing the ball and originally I think he had been instructed to play it out like an outfield player by Rogers. Let's hope that nonsense has been put to bed from now on.

He's a young keeper and has the potential to be top drawer so let's give him time.

Point taken, but as someone mentioned he has saved us alot of times.

He has made a few mistakes but has also saved us this season. All in all an average job so far.

Our defense needs to be sharper and more attentive and that will get the confidence back.

In some ways I'm glad the ref called Skrtel out in a game we won. He will get an earful from Brendan. THe only thing I really dislike is defenders trying to use clear the ball while facing their own goal. Skrtel did that against Fulham and he did it again vs Swansea.

Well, BR said Skrtel didn't do much wrong and that was not a penalty. I hope Skrtel was not operating under his instructions.

I think that Migs's uneasiness is more due to the way we bring the ball out of defense than to anything else. He gives the ball to Skrtel who gives it to Agger who gives it back to him, putting them all under pressure and having to make costly errors. Its not his fault imo. What he has to improve on is his aerial ability. On the positive side, he is a good shot stopper and in one to one situations. He definitely needs back up, however, as Jones is not up to it.

I tend to agree kernowred, I would see Migs as a reasonable backup keeper at a top club, or first choice at a mid table club. He doesn’t boss his area, he doesn’t come for balls when he should, and his distribution is relatively poor and he’s risky on crosses. We need to sign a top keeper in the summer.
