Just throwing it out there, What if Ward isn't the saviour as everyone has been making out?

Who said he was? Everyone has just said they would rather give Ward a chance then keep giving Mignolet chances. Mignolet is barely Championship level. Ward almost single handedly got Huddersfield through the Championship play-offs.

Maybe he isn't the long term solution. But he sure as hell deserves a chance to prove he is.

i dont't think many see him as the saviour, but he showed last season that he is a good keeper with potential and would be starting premier league games if we had loaned him.

Then enth go back to Karius lol!

You should get behind him mate he is a good keeper, he is one of the main reasons Huddersfield got promoted, he definitely will be an improvement on Mignolet and maybe even Karius although he hasn't been given a fair shot.

What about just not bothering with a goalkeper or defence, they are totally overated anyway, all out attack. oh, hold on. lol

Personally I think that the battering Karius got from fans and pundits last season is why Klopp is introducing them slowly this season. I do believe Mignolet will be phased out. Not saying i agree with it, Migs is no better than he was when he arrived and part of our long standing leaky defence. I would just give Karius or Ward a decent run, only way to find out if they are better. Whoever gets the jersey gets supported along with the rest of the team though.

Very good question mate. All you can do is give him a chance and hopefully he'll come good.

we'll never know if he's good enough unless he's giving a chance and playing behind our defence he could be busy i wish lad luck.

Ward looked good for Huddersfield because he had a lot to do. Similar to pickford for Sunderland. I'm not saying they are at the same level but you get my point.

Thing is leewillis, when someone has a poor performance ie lovren then some fans call for instant change and ask for gomez to be given the nod. After gomez had a poor game against seville, someone here asked if we have any good cbs in the academy. It's only natural, ward is too good to be wearing a reserve track suit all year though imo.

{Ed001's Note - to be fair Ward showed a good command of the box, which is something we are crying out for.}

Let's just resign the Messiah (Illori) and put him in nets.

I wonder if we could get a team of 11 "saviours" together?
These are players that despite never or hardly playing for us, some posters think they will solve all our problems.

I will start us off.

Ward in goal.
Llori in defence.
Markovic as a winger (or right wing back, or left wing back, or wherever depending if Rodgers is our saviour manager)

{Ed001's Note - Suso? Pacheco?}

Mikey:

Ward; McLaughlin, Wisdom, Ilori, Smith; Suso, Coady, Texeira; Aspas, Sinclair, Pacheco.

{Ed001's Note - Jack Robinson as well. Oh and Jordan Rossiter.}

True ed, I remember when England played Wales in the euros, hennesey was injured so ward got the jersey. Robbie Savage was saying he is a very very confident lad. That sounds promising to me. I remember you saying migs is too nice and not aggressive enough, ward seems to be the opposite to that. I have to admit, I haven't seen him play much, a few times and I never once thought "dodgy keeper, they should test him from distant" he looked more than capable. I admire his courage to stay and fight for his place.

{Ed001's Note - I only saw him, other than the play offs a few times. I think he missed one of the play off games if I remember correctly, but I can't remember now. He impressed me, he did make a couple of errors but he was always full of confidence and assured. You could see the players were happy and confident with him in goal.}

Yeah, it is promising.

Whatever happened to Pacheco? If you're like me and play fifa for months non stop, in fifa 11 (I think) after five, six seasons Pacheco became brilliant!

He may or may not be the saviour, but we don't know until we give him games. Mignolet is, for absolute certain, no saviour and no first team goalkeeper. Others need to be, at the very least, given a chance - what have they done so wrong and what has Mignolet done so right? It is bizarre that seems so certain to start week in week out despite being consistently poor.

I'm pretty sure Pacheco signed for Granada, Girona or Getafe this summer just gone. It definitely started with a G! He did really well at Real Betis and has somewhat recovered his career.

Fair play to him. Can't help but feel that with more effort he could've made it much higher in the game though.

In general the key to breaking out of youth football is 5% inspiration, 95% perspiration.

Migs has been pretty poor this season, but to be fair to him, he is a good shot stopper. I don't think he is championship level, I think there are a few teams that would snap him up in the premiership. I don't think he is good enough for liverpool though if we want to challenge for the league. There is no leadership at the back, if the CBS aren't going to take charge then we need the keeper to. Migs doesn't do that, end of. I feel a lot more confident when karius is in goal, especially at set pieces. With migs I get light headed! Ward is a confident lad, I think he could take charge.

Superred, I doubt Migs is a good shot-stopper as he held the record in 2015/ 16 as the GK who conceded the most goals from the first shot on target. Also, he gets beat a lot at his near post and shots often go through him to goal. See Fernandinho's goal in the EFL final. The guy has been crap overall in his LFC career (remember he got benched by BR for Brad Jones in 2015 as well) and has continued on that front this season. We know he is crap so let us act on what we know and bin him.

Like you, I see Karius or Ward as more proactive and commanding of their boxes cos you could hear Karius shouting during the Seville game when coming for the ball. Also, like you said, Karius or Ward should be getting games and then Migs should be got shot of cos as long as he is here, he will be a problem.
