Hi Ed001. With Klopp saying yesterday he is happy with our goalkeepers for next season, what is your view on Mignolet's form over the last month or so? I only see highlights and he has been making some good saves, but is he also improving in the other areas that worry you? Thanks mate.

{Ed001's Note - he has been playing better, but it is difficult to judge him as the whole team has been a lot better too, so he is not being tested as much. It would still be an area I would look to improve in, but at least he is showing signs of having improved. The saves he is making now are the ones that were going straight through him before. He just has to keep learning.}

Thanks ed, much appreciated.

{Ed001's Note - welcome mate.}

Personally I'm happy with the goal keepers we have but would like to see a top class goal keeping coach brought in who I don't know, any idea Eds1?

{Ed001's Note - I still think bringing back Xavi Valero would be good.}

21 Apr 2017 12:13:30
ed01 would valero be open to coming back to lfc?

{Ed001's Note - not sure mate, he was open to it a few years back, no idea if he still would be.}

The GK position is no longer an issue personally PROVIDED there is improved coaching from the staff, desire and drive to be the best by both Karius and Migs as well as a well-drilled defence put in front of them.

We can either get an improved GK in or improve the coaching and defence around them. Either way, improvement is needed and we are seeing it now. Long may it continue.

I think mignoletagoalin should definitely go a couple of good games doesn't make him a worldy between the sticks😬Has everyone forgot how many points this guy has cost us. people saying without our injuries we'd be challenging for the league? With a tidy keeper we'd be challenging for the league in my opinion . just my honest opinion not slagging the fella off just he's not up to lfc standard. think of what we would be like with degea cortois lloris chech? if it wasn't for degea united would be fighting relegation lol🤣.

Where is Valero now? I don't think Rafa brought him to Newcastle, so is he still at Real Madrid?

{Ed001's Note - I don't know to be honest.}

Pretty sure he's at Newcastle with Rafa.

I don't think he is Ron. He's not listed on their website as part of their coaching staff. It seems Rafa kept Simon Smith, who was there when he arrived, as goalkeeping coach.

He's not Real's first team goalkeeping coach either and I can't find any news article saying that he's at another club. Assuming he hasn't retired or isn't still at Real in some other capacity (youth team, maybe? ), he would seem to be available.

I think he went to Oviedo after he left Real Madrid, but was only there for a short time before he went to a Chinese club. Not 100% sure about that though, but i think that's were he is now. Heibei Fortune China or something like that the club was called ( probably spelled different ) . I believe its the club were Pellegrini is manager.

Ed01 it would be interesting to know where valero is and if he's available to see if hed come back. Thanks for the answers.

{Ed001's Note - I had assumed he had followed Rafa to Newcastle, but I can find no record of him doing so. I will see if I can find out.}

I thought Mignolet put a few good punched clearances from crosses against WBA. If the team as a whole can improve the tracking/ blocking of runs to give that extea second of soace he is a big unit with a good reach so has the tools. Same with Karius.

We literally do this every time to ourselves.
Migs is not a terrible keeper, he's an unreliable keeper. He will put in a few games where he looks like the beginning of the keeper we want him to be. Then 4-5 games down the line he literally throws one in the net.
If he doesn't make a stupid error between now and the end of the season then maybe he's improving. Otherwise it's the same old story.
