Its all well and good highlighting Mignolet's individual mistakes, however the far greater concern is the organisation from set pieces which the manager should be responsible for.
Rodgers never sorted in but I don't recall you calling him out for it? I didn't have to or want to because it has been mentioned so many times by others. But at the same time I didn't blame individual players for overall poor defending and organisation. I've only seen one person on this forum since the Arsenal match mention about our poor organisation and defending without directly blaming Mignolet. Mignolet isn't a great keeper but he is not to blame for our poor defending.

Yes the manager should be responsible. BR had 3 years+ and millions to fix it and failed. All his fault. OK it's all his fault when he was manager. But there's been very little/no improvement since Klopp's come in - and the stats back it up. He said he could improve us straight away by giving the team better mental qualities. I like Klopp, but I've seen no improvement whatsoever.

The defence is a mess,shame we haven't got a keeper with a mouth who could help out with the organisation at the back.
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.

Must have been a hell of a surprise to him what state BR left the team in, he'll know now that it's going to take more than just better mental qualities to get this team competing

Now however as it suits your WUM agenda and your dislike of Klopp,o doubt it's all his fault? You're a joke!

Wow, what a surprise for Klopp as he later revealed just how poor condition this squad was in.

I was one for giving migs the benefit of the doubt and waiting for him to gain the confidence that will allow him to dominate the area in front of goal and instill confidence in the defense, which, coupled with his shot stopping abilities, would make him our long term no.1. Not any more, not after preventing us from giving arsenal another thrashing, which I firmly believe would have happened if it wasn't for his pathetic attempt on the occasion of the first shot directed towards him. This new contract is sure evidence that he won't be here for long coz Klopp is no kid.

Mignolet is like barcelona's bravo, has pretty much nothing to do all match, then when he has to do something (make a save) he's helpless. Migs didn't make a save all match, surely for any keeper in whatever team, that's wrong.

Yes he didn't have much to do during the game, but did anyone notice his position and that he actually ducked for the ball as it passed by him?
If he had been standing straight up instead of bent half way down he would have saved that ball.
Don't know why his starting position is that low all the time.
This one was even lower since he was just recovering after the ball hit the cross bar.
