Hi ed001

Simon mignolet has improved a lot recently & I do quite rate him despite his obvious flaws, you still state we need a new keeper, just interested to hear you talk a bit deeper about it e.g your thoughts on his weaknesses that need to be replaced etc

{Ed001's Note - I would like to know what you think his strengths are as well. I mean when was the last time you saw him pull off a save that looked impossible? I have seen De Gea and Courtois and even Hart do that this season, but Migs has not saved a single shot that you wouldn't expect a half decent keeper to make.

Added to that, he is still woeful with his distribution, he fails to command his area at all, he doesn't organise the defence, he flaps at crosses, all the things people have moaned about before he got dropped he is still doing. The one change he has made is being more decisive, he no longer dithers so much, which is important, but he needs to work on every other aspect of his game.

You just know that if he is put under pressure he will make a mistake, whether it is a sliced clearance, a poor punch, or something else, he will make a mistake each time he is under pressure.}

Agree with you Ed001 but have you seen the Cruyff turns Migs does when he's under pressure but has the ball at his feet!

Like many of our players he is a good premier league player, but he's not at a level we should be satisfied with for a first team regular.

It has been a better second half of the season for Mignolet, and he has shown an improvement, particularly with being more decisive. He is a decent player, and next season, the hope will be that he improves.

As a side not, I see that LFC have given a two-year extension to Lawrence Vigouroux (21) who I think will now fill in to be the 3rd choice 'keeper for next season, and with Brad Jones leaving (out of contract this summer), and I now expect Danny Ward (21) to leave too as he too is out of contract. So, very likely that we will be bringing in a 2nd choice 'keeper to push Mignolet.

{Ed002's Note - Brad Jones is not out of contract this summer - but the club want him out. They will likely need to buy him out of his contract and pay up wages, bonuses, insurance etc..}

We should turn to one of the young German keepers but saying that though he is not the worst goalkeeper that we have had during the BPL years.

{Ed002's Note - Any random young German goalkeeper? Great transfer policy.}

If we don't buy a top keeper and a top striker then we won't be at the end everyone wants us to be . Also a top midfielder as coutinho seems the only one there of top 4 quality . Was nice of Rodgers to take stevie off , so he gets a "ovation" . Bloody scandalous

10 May 2015 18:48:36
Bit confused on this one, Ed002. Transfermarkt has Jones' contract running through until next season, yet several generally decent journalists and papers have said specifically out of contract this summer. Is there a specific reason this seems to be so confused?

{Ed002's Note - Maybe the journalists are confused by the behaviour of the club to make commitments to the player and then withdraw them.}

One from left field:Any interest in Kasper Scmeichel from Leicester ? Reminds me a lot about his dad prior to him going to Man U.

{Ed002's Note - No.}

10 May 2015 20:02:17
Feel sorry for Brad Ed do you?

Will Neto be happy to arrive as number 2 do you think though?

{Ed002's Note - (a) Yes. (b) I have no idea.}

10 May 2015 20:21:16
Feel sorry for Brad erm not sure that's life,in all walks of life you get told your safe in your job to your face and things change overnight move on it does make you stronger in life.

10 May 2015 20:52:52
Like a stated above migs won't inprove unless he gets the right coaching, we NEED a decent coaching staff period

10 May 2015 21:16:35
Feel sorry for brad? Made a super living doing noThing for 5 years lol he can get off the wage bill, he will get another job with an alright wage. time for ward on the bench!

And mignolet needs to be gone this summer he's awful,.does anyone else feel that he never saves those first attempts against big teams like it feels that it first chance first goal, he only saves.what should be saved. Hysterical when he gets called a good shot stopper, ain't he a keeper? It's the rest of the stuff that elevates you to professional level! (distribution, commands, decisiveness,reading of the game, pace, two good feet) by the logic of shot stopper anyone can becomes an keeper, I was terrific at it!

{Ed002's Note - Maybe you could see Brad Jones off in the way Liverpool supporters do best, daubing abuse on the stadium and a hate page on social media.}

KFC reading your posts seems as tho rodgers foot in mouth has wore of on you well done suits you sir ha ha

10 May 2015 21:56:24
Handanovic would be good

11 May 2015 02:37:52
I don't feel sorry for a premier league footballer if they lose their contract. They don't need the money and they will still get comparatively fabulously paid at a championship club.

Brad has had his troubles in other areas which I have a large amount of sympathy and compassion for.

11 May 2015 09:07:10
Neto is no better than Jones, I have seen him on a handful of occasions and he seems to have made a massive blunder. Mignolet is doing okay but if the club is to sign a keeper they should make it a real competition in my opinion Neto wouldn't be that, although I have only seen him a few times so I might have just seen some games which he has been poor in
