Reina was throwing the ball into his own net by the end [HASHTAG]#distribution[/HASHTAG]

Its hard not to compare Mignolet to Reina.

Mignolet is one of the best shot stoppers and reflex keepers around. He is just as good at Reina at that.

Mignolet and Reina both also share a weakness for set pieces and crosses.

But 2 things seperate them; Communication and distribution.

Reina is the ideal modern keeper and can play with his feet just as well as any out field player. He distributes with his head up and plays decisive balls which make things happen. Mignolet has more of the 'clear the danger' mindset.

Mignolet is much quieter on the pitch to. Reina was equally a captain figure compared to Gerrard and Carragher. But Mignolet does not have to be a captain,he just needs authority, which he is improving with.

We also now play a high line and some times it can be useful for a GK tobe confident rushing off his line or becoming a sweeping. Mignolet is not this.

It would take a lot to improve on Mignolet and it is not a priority. But I think it may come down to playing style.

i really don't get why people say Migs is poor at this. I can't recall him dropping a catch!

The Daily Mirror are desperate for Ronaldo to sign for yoonited instead of PSG.

United's hopes of luring Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo back to Old Trafford have been boosted by his mother Dolores, who would prefer the 30-year-old to return to the club he left in 2009. (Daily Mirror)

As long as he gets found guilty of taking illegal substance in his hair and banned for life I don't care what club he goes to.

I think at the start he was very Indecisive but end of last year it seems he was told to just go and punch the ball clear and since then and hasn't worried about keeping hold of it he's looked. A lot better.

He used to punch the ball a lot at Sunderland. I think Brod wanted him to play slightly different though. He wanted Migs to catch the crosses and pass the ball out too, that's where the downturn in form came from. When he went back to punching and punting his form picked up loads.
 
Migs is a good back up keeper - his shot stopping is good but he can't play with his feet, slow distribution, weak distribution, doesn't know when to come off of his line and has no control of his box.

Butlandn is quality IMO but he'll be overpriced. Germany has a number of quality young keepers who will cost a fraction. Timo Horn has a buy out clause of £6m.

This as little relevance to your point above, just in response to your repetitive insistence that there is no value in the British market. I agree the British market is expensive but we can't just completely avoid the British market because we need X number of homegrown players in the squad too. We can't buy homegrown players from foreign markets because there aren't any.

Which is why we continue to invest in young talents like Joe Gomez, Ibe, Sterling AND we also produce our own.

Unless we get lucky with contracts running down ala Ings and Clyne, it's far too expensive to buy players in this market.

There is quality here in England - but little value amongst the more established English players.
 
Mignolet just reminds me of when we had Westerveld. Completely bang average.
Lloris, Cech, Hart, De Gea and Courtois all all keepers at rivals and all far better than Mignolet.

Yet he's kept more clean sheets than them (equal with Hart) with a worse defence in front of him for most of that period?

And we've conceded more goals in total, and by some distance.

Clean sheets is a poor metric For goalies and defenders.

For example - we kept around 10 clean sheets in 13/14 but still conceded around 50 goals.

Nice in theory
 
Sometimes you need to find someone cheap but with potential. I'm not a big Hart fan - I think he's a bit of a twat - but you can't deny City did great business buying him so cheap and developing him.

Not worried about our goalkeeper situation, I've got every faith in Klopp to either develop Migs or buy someone better regardless of if I've heard of them or not.

They got Hart and Schmeichel at very young ages. The latter actually got into the team first under Sven too.
