If I had a hat I'd take it off to him!

Fantastic tonight.

Absolutely night and day compared to how he was at the start of the season. Keep it up lad

Significant improvement by the month. He commanded his area tonight as he should do it should be said. Keep it up Simon.

that said when we are in the 92minute of injury time and you are kicking it in to touch, please make sure the 'touch' you are aiming for is nearer their corner flag, please, thankyou.

Excellent on crosses and in commanding the box, plus a good save on Capoue. Almost fell for a Gary Mac on that long shot by Janmaat but recovered well.

His kicking during the last few minutes, on the other hand...

Jack Barrels · « **Reply #1371 on:** May 1, 2017, 10:08:36 pm »

Maybe not the flashiest but definitely one of his most commanding performances thus far in a Liverpool shirt.
I've been screaming for a new 1st GK even after his form turned a corner, but fuck me he almost has me convinced now...

As opposed to our defenders, who found targets with all their clearances.

No, they weren't any better (don't know if "shanked clearances" is kept as a stat, but I have the feeling we'd lead the league by a mile). Honestly though, two goal kicks and a free kick going straight into touch over a few minutes is a bit much.

Haggis36 · « **Reply #1374 on:** May 1, 2017, 10:11:58 pm »

Gotta give credit where it's due, he's been superb in recent weeks. It's hard - how much of this is a boon in form and how much is genuine improvement from him? But you can't take anything away from the way he's performed lately. Been huge for us, and has rescued us plenty of times when we haven't been playing at our fluent best, and I'm not sure you can ask much more.

Zlen · « **Reply #1375 on:** May 1, 2017, 10:12:40 pm »

That moment when a high ball is whipped into our box and I'm feeling calm and safe in the knowledge that Mignolet will collect it.
What happened to him?

ToneLa · « **Reply #1376 on:** May 1, 2017, 10:13:19 pm »

He did well again tonight and he's getting very dependable.

I think he's been working hard, and I'm pleased to see it so visibly come off!

AlphaDelta · « **Reply #1377 on:** May 1, 2017, 10:16:09 pm »

Thought the big fella played well again tonight, relaxed to see him come for crosses and command his box.
I got onto him berating himself when he shanked a goal kick wide, plus one or two towards the end were a bit wayward, but you can really see a huge improvement in him.

Upinsmoke · « **Reply #1378 on:** May 1, 2017, 10:16:55 pm »

Catching has come on loads

SerbianScouser · « **Reply #1379 on:** May 1, 2017, 10:17:30 pm »

Another brilliant performance.

It's taken him a while but it looks like he finally figured out dealing with crosses. This has to be the standard now, he's shown he can do it, there's no reason anymore for any kind of confusion between him and CBs when it comes to air battles.

Lycan · « **Reply #1380 on:** May 1, 2017, 10:18:06 pm »

Well done Simon. Keep it up mate.

Isnt it just! Starting to not panic when I see him come out and claim therm.

rafathegaffa83 · « **Reply #1384 on:** May 1, 2017, 11:20:29 pm »

Very good again tonight. That save of Capoue's shot was class

smicer07 · « **Reply #1385 on:** May 1, 2017, 11:26:01 pm »

Been brilliant recently.

Safe hands. Very assured performance.

Bobinhood · « **Reply #1387 on:** May 1, 2017, 11:30:21 pm »

So in the end Karius really did improve our goaltending quite a bit! Magic.

SinceSixtyFive · « **Reply #1388 on:** May 1, 2017, 11:32:47 pm »

Great again tonight.

One of the few keepers who understands the importance of actually, like, catching the bloody ball.

bradders1011 · « **Reply #1389 on:** May 2, 2017, 12:20:07 am »

It's been said but one more voice can't hurt: outstanding tonight with the command of his area, some good saves, sounded loud on TV and since Hull away he's not really done anything badly.

BeautifulGame91 · « **Reply #1390 on:** May 2, 2017, 07:53:21 am »

Mignolet has been incredible in the last two months.

Particularly considering the big teams we have played recently.

Finally showing what good two keepers competing with each other can can do.

Hopefully he can continue this trajectory into next season too.

thekitkatshuffler · « **Reply #1391 on:** May 2, 2017, 07:59:07 am »

Despite the referee giving him no help whatsoever, whenever their forwards clattered into him without getting near the ball, he was continually positive and assertive.

Brilliant 'keeping.

Deeney trying to push Matip into him while Mignolet was at full height was absolute twattery. Then compounds it by petulantly tripping him up like a schoolchild.

Funky_Gibbons · « **Reply #1393 on:** May 2, 2017, 09:45:09 am »

Seems like a switch has suddenly been flicked in his brain recently, he’s a changed man. Commanding his area, dealing with crosses with a punch or catch and making the odd great save. He really eased some of the pressure being built up with that performance.

Red-Soldier · « **Reply #1394 on:** May 2, 2017, 10:10:36 am »

His game has improved no end.

Another solid performance last night, great to see.

We all need a kick up the arse sometimes, I think signing Karius gave one to Simon.

dramared · « **Reply #1395 on:** May 2, 2017, 10:26:00 am »

Yep, great again yesterday by dealing with crosses and set pieces very well.
You could hear his shouts, great hands.

Has pulled off some class saves over the last month but his improvement in handling has been excellent.
Making good decisions if to catch or punch.

tubby · « **Reply #1396 on:** May 2, 2017, 10:28:55 am »

Been outstanding since getting back in the team. His distribution is always going to be a bit ropey but his command of the area has improved tenfold over the past 6 months and he looks a confident, capable keeper. Great stuff.

lamonti · « **Reply #1397 on:** May 2, 2017, 10:33:39 am »

Been pretty good all season really (though particularly good in last two months). Only the odd blip really this year, and the worst GK performances this season have all been by Loris Karius who took Mignolet's place for no reason other than he was fit again. Migs doesn't have the confidence of the crowd though, so it's an awful long road back for him.

the refs have allowed corners and freekicks throughout the league to turn into rugby matches - it's terrible
