Two great saves and almost saved another. Well done lad!!!

+1 for that. He's taken enough stick, so credit where credit's due.

you still alive then I was worried for you for a while.
Great for Simon he deserves all the credit coming his way.

Funny thing is, I had more faith that Migs would save 1 or 2 than I had in our takers to score.... 

Well in Migs!!! 

Get in Mingo !! He earned his rest for the FA Cup match against West Ham.

+1 for that. He's taken enough stick, so credit where credit's due.

Cue Mr Balls .  Arriving soon.


Ter Stegen preferred.

Butland didn't come close to saving any!

Migs as usual he's a f**ker but shoot outs he's our hero

Mignolet deserves credit for his penalty saves, but the goal Stoke scored in normal time, although it was offside, it was right at him! from what I saw it went through his legs.

Ward would've saved it.

Well done Migs, let's see a bit of confidence from you now, there's still loads to play for this season.

You have to give credit where it's due no matter whether you like the player or not and he deserves a lot of credit for tonight. He was suspect on the goal but I don't think he put much of a foot wrong all night and to not only make the 2 saves but dive to the right side for most of them was good to see.

Well done Migs!

Thank you Migs. You saved my furniture from being kicked.

Boss tonight Simon!
Now keep it that way - have a word with the missus - you can do it.

So the other umpteen games didn't matter? I beg to differ. He did decent enough tonight with what he had to do. A better goalkeeper might do better for their goal though. He didn't do anything stunning and had he messed any of what he had to do up, he'd have been at fault because it was all fairly routine. Did well on the penalties though, so fair play to him.

F**k off you are an idiot

he did well when it counted and that what matters

Stop being a tw*t

That's what matters if you want to be a team that wins very little and certainly doesn't come anywhere near the league, sure. To challenge for leagues you need consistency. Doing well in a penalty shootout once in a blue moon isn't enough. If you want to win leagues every game counts and every game matters. If you're happy languishing in 7th or wherever we are at the moment and occasionally doing well in a cup, then yes, tonight is the match that counted and tonight is the match that mattered.

No doubt a few were preferring Butland a couple of hours ago.

You couldnt resist .

Hook line and sunk .

he could only do what he did tonight and that's good enough for most of us,We know his short comings but we must give credit when its due

I'm skeptical regarding Butland mainly because we've seen that type of keeper step up to a big club and fail in the past, but tonight should change no ones opinion on Mignolet.
