to be fair DG wouldn't have saved Rooney shot either, it had more behind than any of our shots and was 6 yards out, despite that Mignonlet got a hand to it.
I really don't mean to scapegoat Migs as losing this match was not his fault but each game we look at the shots on target of the opposition and goals scored and it's never good reading. Arsenal had 4 on target and scored 3, Man United have 1 and score it. Carra was straight to the point about Mignolet pre-match and whilst a little "ouch" when hearing it he's probably right. Sturridge will be running out of suits to wear if he spends much more time watching from his lofty perch! Could have done with him in his kit today! |

I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if he would have saved it had roles been reversed, he's got that in his locker for sure.

[quote=Parthenon;81130086]De Gea made saves you'd expect any PL keeper to. Not sure why people are making out he won United the game. Not every team has a keeper that regularly costs their team points e.g. Mignolet.
Exactly. I tried to say this in the neutral thread, but certain United fans are so sensitive and they get very upset if you tell them that a normal save isn't world class |

May I just ask for which position did you guys sign (or bring in on loan) Caulker to play in, as I thought he was a centre-back, yet he has yet to play there in his appearances so far hasn't he??

Unfortunately for you though, I would think he will revert to centre back on Wednesday... |

Why did Klopp not play Benteke? Smalling and Blind are poor but you didn't even test them, Adam Lallana is barely a midfielder never mind a forward, so average.

It's time to be hard-nosed and accept we can't either (a) rely on Sturridge suddenly becoming fit and robust and (b) that the B in Plan B stands for Benteke when it comes to Klopp's system and ethics. Ings' and Origi's injuries add to the urgency and no way is Firmino a Number 9 in any system whatever Klopp says. We need to find a waspish, greedy, potent striker NOW before the lack of goals kills our season. For yesterday's starting XI to have a total of just SIX league goals between them is scary in the extreme, so I can only assume given all of the above we WILL act in January in the striking department.

Maybe it was something in Rodgers being a shortarse that so many of our players are too, a complex where he had to be able to look down on players? - but it really is killing us a lot of the time. Klopp being a six footer + should be out now looking for class acts that he can look up to, we really need some height and muscle. The number of times that United players just pushed us off the ball yesterday was a real embarrassment, we have to stand firmer and give a lot of that back to teams. I honestly don't know what will be done regarding Sturridge, we aren't doctors, we really can't judge him, and we have to leave those decisions to the club. |

BR was maybe just a little too taken with Barcelona's way of playing ( tikka-takka passing, false #9's...etc.. ) for his own -and our own- good. Pep's Barca were almost unique because of the number of incredibly talented players they had; they are not easy to copy and certainly not on the cheap. |

There's maybe more chance of Balotelli coming back than another top quality striker being signed at the moment. |

Migniolet signs a new 5 year contract. Who ever thought this was a good idea?

We don't really want to be wasting money in a January window though. £8m for Shane Long as a short term answer is not great value for instance. But that's the January window: not much availability and what there is could be expensive.

Terrible decision. If he is indeed to be our number 1, our only hope is to build a stellar defence in front of hIm so he has less work to do. But that is unlikely, this club can be so incredibly stupid.

I don't understand why we aren't getting rid of him, Rodgers loved him and Klopp seems to be the same, Reina was a better keeper and got the middle finger, what are Klopp etc seeing that we are not?
Giving mignolet a new 5 year deal which would come with a pay increase to then sign a new number 1 a few months later would be silly and bad business. Looks like klopp is a fan. As for reina, simple fact is he was on huge money. £100,000+ per week which for a GK is pretty crazy. Club was never gonna keep him on that kind of money. |
