hi eds and reds

ive been thinking about our GK and i think if he can overcome his weak areas of his game he would be a top GK, so do we really need a new GK or for Mingolet to train and get better where he is weak, because there's no doubt about his shot stopping, so would it be better to get a better GK coach or is he just not good enough because he has pulled off some great saves and last season he was in contention for the golden gloves award

the reason i'm asking is because i can't decide what is best for the club, spend on a new keeper or a goal keeping coach, what do you all think,

{Ed001's Note - what do you mean there is no doubt about his shot stopping? I doubt it. He is average at best in that area. If the ball is low and at him, he jumps out of the way then throws his arm down, because he is so afraid to just stick a foot out. He is playing the wrong sport and is a truly awful keeper. Get rid please.}

If all players 'overcame their weak areas' they would be top players! That said willing to start Klopps tenure with a clean slate for all players.

It is amazing he gets paid by a top club to be a professional goalkeeper, put it that way.

Every goalkeeper needs to be a relatively decent shot stopper Because there goal keepers. What sets apart a good and bad keeper in my opinion is distribution, commanding his area and communication between his defenders.
His distribution is poor at best, his commanding of the area is none existent and I can only guess his communication is poor as all the players seem so nervous and not assured when around or near him.
That's my opinion anyway.

Migonlet just dosent cut it for me. Ed is right he is terrible at the basic goal keeping stuff, for example the Sion goal you do not go down with your legs open and go down with your body on the floor to collect the ball. He is a good shot stopper in the sense of long distant and has saved us in some games no doubt, but he does not control his box, makes the wrong decisions on the corners and insists on kicking the ball to the bi line, with coutinho and what was sterling waiting was just ridiculous. We need a new number 1 and i think Klopp will go for that. what is strange to me is that the goal keeping coach has stayed.

He's not a keeper who should be playing for a top 4 club.
I think he will be replaced by next August.

i have to agree with all the posts ,but as everyone said he is weak in a lot of areas of his game , to which i agree so can these be improved on or should i say can mingolet improve on these parts of his game , he must know what he is bad at so why has he not got better at these , is it him or is it his training which means the coach is not good enough if you get what i mean , ed001 i agree with you but what gets me is why he has not improved his game in these areas we can all se he is not good in these parts if we can see it then the coaching staff must see it , myself i would get a better keeper because a very good keeper can win you games and mingolet does not do that for us , so again is it just him and he can't improve or is it the coach who can't train him to get better , maybe its something we will never know until we get another GK coach and i believe we have kept our GK coach ohj well we will soon find out because Klopp will decide if he is good enough or not and that will be our answer , thanks for all your thoughts on this fellow reds

{Ed001's Note - I think it is too late to fix his problems now, I would rather have Ward between the sticks.}

Overcame his weak areas?!?!? Really! He has nothing but weak areas. The only strong attributes he has the ability to con Liverpool fc into paying him a wage

He is sadly not good enough , the ed is correct , with a really solid keeper maybe our centeracks whoever they end up being will improve and the defence will function as it should , he flaps at crosses and does not boss the box etc etc , 1st thing I would change in my opinion

I'be been saying for months that GK is our biggest problem. He doesn't give our defence any confidence and his balls out from the back always hit the opposition first and come straight back at us.

I know our defenders are much maligned but I think a top keeper would make a world of difference to how our back 4 plays.

If shot-stopping is his only talent then the bar is way too low to judge him as a keeper hence, not good enuff

I'm with Ed and all the other doubters - I'm sure he is a nice guy but he's not a top drawer keeper.

The back 5 has been our biggest problem for a while now. Even when we came second we had a shocking defensive record.

We need to trust Klopp now. He will see these problems. He will fix these problems. But it will take time.

And we supporters damaging Mig's confidence in the meantime won't help anything.

I agree he is not De Gea but far from being our worse problem. In some games such as the Derby he was the MOTM. He has a lot of good saves. With a better defence including good DMs he would be less exposed and less of a problem. All these 'the defence has no confidence because of him are poor excuses for weak defenders/DMs

{Ed001's Note - except that confidence always starts from the keeper. I am pretty sure Hansen has said that many a time, and I doubt anyone would call him a weak defender.}

Again, I don't think he is as good as De Gea or even Heart. But other than the big 4 I can't think of a better PL keeper not even Llouris in his current form. I do think it will be easier to find better DMs. even from the PL. top top class GK are few and far between

{Ed001's Note - you are deluded if you think he is as good as Lloris, seriously deluded. Or clueless. Not sure which in your case. Then there is Cech, Courtois, Begovic, Butland, off the top of my head. I would rather have average keepers such as Krul than Migs too. And Hart is in the average bunch with Krul, he is nothing special and it is only his nationality that keeps him in the Citeh team.}

Why not give Bogdan a shot? I don't think he can do any worse. He made some good saves from the spot the last time he played. Migs could be backup.

{Ed001's Note - because he is also not good enough, that would be a change for change's sake, rather than because he is an improvement. No point paying Migs big money to sit watching if the replacement is no better. What we should have done, if we were going to make the best use of the resources already at the club's disposal, was to not bring in Bogdan and sit Mignolet to give Ward a shot. For those saying you can't do that, just ask yourself how Neuer and Casillas got their chance!}

Mignlet is an average 'keeper. I doubt we can improve him as we haven't seen any discernable improvement in any facets of his game in 3 years at LFC and I don't expect him to drastically improve.

Cech, Courtois, De Gea, Begovic, Lloris are all streets ahead of Mignolet.

The likes of Krul, Butland, and Hart aren't nothing special, but even they are better than Mignolet.

the reakAG ,

thats my point he has not improved , even a bad keeper improves a bit on things so why has he not improved is it him or the coach , one way to tell is if we get another keeper we can see if his play drops and he loses confidence , his reflex shot stopping is very good but his other parts of his game are just not good enough , and i can't help but feel he has not improved because he can't because the gk coach is not good enough
