Stoke Away

Half one and all.
Still dont think he is doing as good as he was at start.

Read that properly there Barnes. Fair enough not at fault for majority of goals. The one when Sakho was outnumbered I thought he should of saved. Either way, the goals conceaded aside, he has been making errors throughout games. Whether it be flapping at crosses, staying on his line or misplacing passes, it is happening a lot per game. He is a great shot stopper, no doubt but he needs to work massively on these other areas. Definitely not the ticy tacy keeper everyone was saying he was and expected Rodgers to buy.
Either way he has time on his side to improve on these aspects

He is a great shot stopper and that primarily is what I want from my keeper. The only thing I think he needs to improve is in commanding his area like Schmeichel used to do.... he has the presence I just think he is still finding his feet at the club in such an important position.

And needs to be more comfortable with ball at feet
Opposition are really closing him down fast last 6 weeks or so.

Rodgers on Mignolet:
“The fact is that Simon has been a wonderful capture for us,”
“Okay, people will maybe look at a few of mistakes Simon has made but I just think it’s normal for a keeper to make mistakes.
“His attitude has been excellent and the saves he has made for us have been exceptional.
“There will be one or two areas he will maybe be disappointed with, but I will always take an honest mistake from someone who is working tirelessly to be the best they can be.”
