I called someone on here that once, got a swift warning from one of the mods
My mid to late teen self called people names a couple times on here. Only got two bans and was watched for ages along with a couple of warnings.
Anyway, on Mignolet. I think he has played well so far, he hasnt made any glaring errors and produced a world class save against Spurs. I think Karius will replace him, I just don't know when. Will Klopp keep him in until he fucks up? Or will he throw Karius straight in?
We should have done with Mignolet what we are doing with Karius. We should have kept Pepe to let Mignolet settle in and let him grow into the role. If he didnt settle we'd have a good keeper in Pepe to bring in and vice versa. Mignolet was roughly the same age as Karius when we bought him which is very young for a goalkeeper. It would also have given Pepe a much needed kick up the arse with some serious competition. And Reina could have helped Mignolet with his glaring weaknesses. Confidence of coming out and at least punching everything in your way and distribution. I don't care how much Reina was on and us "needing" to save his wages, he wasn't on a mammoth contract so I think we missed a massive trick there.
Two very able keepers pushing each other can only help us an I'm glad Klopp sees this. Glaringly obvious why he gave Mignolet a five year deal. Keeps his value for up to two years should Karius develop into what we want in time and also gave him a bit of a confidence boost at the time. Also means if Karius doesn't do what we expect we have a very able alternative.
