But e eryone mosns about Mignolet then when he's dropped, there is a ridiculous reaction.

He's not been dropped, he's been rested.....

[Funky_Gibbons]

Didn't he say there wasn't a number one

It was on here earlier

He said Mignolet was number one.

Rested then.

It's not like we are resting a world class keeper.

[sms1986]

But dropping him out of the squad will give him a confidence boost?

Helped last time.

[Caligula?]

That defense is the stuff of nightmares, hopefully we'll outscore them.

[jillcwhomever]

So Wijnaldum missing a simple header is now Mignolet's fault? Dropping a catch doesn't equal a ropey start.

No, but throwing a ball to an Hoffenheim player and putting us under pressure is not a smart thing to do. I back Simon just like I back Karius but let's not pretend he never makes mistakes. At the end of the day there is no such thing as perfect keeper. I can recall Bruce Grobelaar dropping clangers every now and then as well.

well that's always plan A

[rafathegaffa83]

The only thing I am worried about is Craig Fucking Pawson.

He was pretty poor at times last season. Hopefully, not today.

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

We've conceded 7 goals in four games, its hardly working.

Let's be honest tho,that's not really down to mignolet. Put buffon in amd maybe we conced a goal less

[JG6]

How do we know that Mignolet hasn't been a bit shabby in training and Klopp, along with Achterbetg, thinks it's because perhaps he's just a bit mentally tired with four games in quick succession right at the start of the season?

Karius is going to be our goalkeeper in the long term so don't see any issue with the boss putting his faith in him.

[RK7]

Rested then.

It's not like we are resting a world class keeper.

No, we're resting the GK, a position that needs consistency along with the CB pairing as stated previously.

[Funky_Gibbons]

Helped last time.

So dropping Mignolet, putting in a goalkeeper who cost us points, and then having put Mignolet back in goal was good and helped us?

[Nick110581]

He said Mignolet was number one.

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5wmo5x

There was another article stating something different

[Len1]

*sigh*

New keeper, raw RB, Manic LB...

worried now.

Precisely, it's not just the goalkeeper question - before the start of the season not many would have expected to see 3 of the back 4 starting.

[Solomon Grundy]

Come on Liverpool we can do these.

[Nick110581]

No, we're resting the GK, a position that needs consistency along with the CB pairing as stated previously.

But maybe Klopp doesn't think Mignolet is good enough

[Funky_Gibbons]

There was another article stating something different

Well that's from Klopp's own mouth. Just like he said this time last year that Karius was number one.

[Barneylfc∗]

So Wijnaldum missing a simple header is now Mignolet's fault? Dropping a catch doesn't equal a ropey start.

Mignolet could have done better with that goal. Many players could have done many things better in that game also of course. And as I said, they are just 2 incidents that spring to mind. If I watched the games back I'm sure there would be more. He isn't a greaat goalkeeper. He's good, but not great. The only way we will know if Karius is better is by playing him in games.

Lets just wait until later to see if it is the right or wrong decision eh?

[SerbianScouser]

But maybe Klopp doesn't think Mignolet is good enough

He clearly doesn't which makes the decision to not go after a keeper this window with all the cash we have all that more baffling.

[Art of Lies]

He's not been dropped, he's been rested.....

That and its Arsenal, its not like they are going to be pumping balls into the box for their big centre forwards or are pinning their hopes on set plays and corners.

[RK7]

But maybe Klopp doesn't think Mignolet is good enough

So he's lied?

[Caligula?]

How do we know that Mignolet hasn't been a bit shabby in training and Klopp, along with Achterbetg, thinks it's because perhaps he's just a bit mentally tired with four games in quick succession right at the start of the season?

Karius is going to be our goalkeeper in the long term so don't see any issue with the boss putting his faith in him.

 

That's the best one yet. Why can't we all just agree that he sees Karius as our future number one keeper and just maybe... wants to play him? If that's his decision then it's his decision. He's our manager and he can do as he pleases.

[clinical]

Strange decisions and Liverpool managers goes well together. Nothing surprising here.

[TheShanklyGates]

Massive pressure on Karius today.

[redprodigal]

I take it you'll be protesting then?

Pointless post

[Yevgeny]

Knives out for Karius on Sky already, naturally.

[ToneLa]

Pointless post

Pointless reply. At least I back the manager and speak up when I see something wrong. YNWA! Let's smash these!

[Filler.]

Resting Migs? Really? Resting? I don't get that at all. Will be goals galore in this... but could be close. So a 0-0 then? Glad we've got back up to Karius on the bench as he'll be knackered by HT.

[S]

Nervous as.

See you all on the other side.

[harleydanger]

Arsen's sky sports picture is fucking ridiculous

[Mister Flip Flop]

Knives out for Karius on Sky already, naturally.

Sky are a bunch of wankers

[liverpool185]

Cmon reds, get at them straight away

[Nick110581]

Knives out for Karius on Sky already, naturally.

Literally nothing mentioned about Arsenal resting their striker.

[redprodigal]

4-2 today, come on you mighty reds.

[lamonti]

Strange decision. Hope it pays off! Come on you Red Men

[sms1986]

Strange decisions and Liverpool managers goes well together. Nothing surprising here.

Yeah, because other club managers are so much more normal, right?

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

Anfield is looking good. Lets twat em

[Titi Camara]

Come on the fucking red men!!!
