Fans should stand by Simon Mignolet rather than criticise him
Liverpool’s Belgian goalkeeper made one exceptional save today, as he continued his topsy-turvy form. After a crucial error against Ludogorets, he was in form as the Reds beat Stoke. Another error-prone night followed against Leicester, before today’s improvement. Maybe he should only play on Saturday’s? Joking aside, there doesn’t seem to be any obvious reasons for Mignolet’s inconsistencies. We’re all aware of the area’s in which he needs to improve, mainly the command of his area and communication with his defenders, but the important fact is that he has the ability to succeed – and we’d do better to stick by him than putting more pressure on him.
