Question for ed001 would you keep Mignolet, or would you look for another keeper in the summer. in my opinion I think bernad Leno would be a great buy and quality replacement.

{Ed001's Note - I personally do not think there is any doubt that Mignolet has to be replaced by a better keeper.}

Yes ed I agree the only reason I ask is that Klopp has gave him his support, I don't know if that is because he needs to keep him on side till the summer or he generally rates him. Which I'm worried about don't get me wrong his performances as of late have improved, I just think he's not liverpool quality as he is as inconsistent as the British weather.

{Ed001's Note - I am remain to be convinced that Klopp really did give him his backing as such. He just said he has quality goalkeepers at the club, but he could have equally well been talking about Ward.}

Ed your on fire today. Your speaking the truth is so refreshing to read considering some of the posts I've been reading by other posters.

{Ed001's Note - thank you.}

I don't really follow Scottish football but i do believe Ward is doing well question is do you think he is ready to potentially replace Migonlet.

{Ed001's Note - I haven't seen him play since he went up there on loan, but Aberdeen certainly think he is ready to be a first choice keeper. The reports being sent back to the club are glowing.}

Thats good to know, we do need to change keepers just don't feel safe with migonlet in between the sticks.

I don't mean to put a dampener or things, but playing for Abardeen in Scotland and playing for Liverpool in England in 4 different competitions with all that pressure and up against the likes of Aguero, Sanchez, Hazard etc is a totally different ball game.

{Ed001's Note - no it is not. You will find it is still the same ball game.}

Stopping a good shot is stopping a good shot. Picking out a player from distance is still the same (considering the weather, often harder in Scotland) . If anything, a goalkeeper is the easiest position to judge in lower quality leagues.

Sorry for the late reply ed as I am moving house so I'm abit hectic at the moment. Thank you for your reply aswell yes he may well be talking about ward. He's still along way off being number one tho. However I think he sould give bogdan more time between the sticks IMO.

{Ed001's Note - I am not convinced by Bogdan, I would rather have Ward than him in nets.}

Ward is an exceptional keeper and so complete for his age, deserves a go as he definitely isn't worse than what we have. Sent shivers down my spine when Klopp 'backed' Mignolet so I hope its just a ruse to prevent his performances dropping, again. I'd be made up if we signed Leno or Butland don't get me wrong, I just think it'd be criminal to completely overlook Ward.

From doing the loan reports this season Ward is a player I have taken particular interest in as he has been exceling. Some of the saves he's pulled off are top drawer!
Like a poster said above doesn't matter what division your in a great save is a great save!

So there is no difference facing Man City, Chelsea or Arsenal and their varied styles of play in the PL over facing Dundee and Falkirk in the Scottish league Ed001?

{Ed001's Note - you didn't say that, you said it was a different ball game, which it isn't.}

I'd sell both, buy an experienced reliable stopper, and have him and ward compete. Ward can learn off him and either will be suitable as a replacement or starter.

Agree Fencey, move on Migs (not rounded or confident enough to be our no.1) and Bogdan (should be playing 1st team somewhere, just not Liverpool), then bring in Patricia or Bernd and let Ward compete with them for a starting spot.
