How? I know Simon isnt one for the footballing hipsters but f**k me Karius is a total disaster. Mignolet staying is the right choice. Even taking away Karius' recent jitters he wasn't good anyway.
Mignolet will be a decent number two certainly more capable than the likes of Bogdan, Doni and Jones we've had in the past.
You ever watched Mignolet play these last few years? Karius between January and that Champions League final probably showed more competence in goal in those 5 months than Mignolet did in 5 years. He, more than anyone, was most responsible for our bad defence in the months and years pre January of this year. For a keeper I had high hopes for in 2013 and who got off to a decent start with three clean sheets in his first three matches with us he really has turned into an absolute wreck of a keeper and has just got worse and worse over time, failing to repay the constant 'second chances' he's been given by not just Klopp but Rodgers as well. In the last year alone you can look at Arsenal away last Christmas. Leicester away last September. Watford this time last year. West Brom at home this year in the Cup. F***ing atrocious. In Klopp's first season as well he arguably cost us the chance to qualify for the Champions League what with his clangers in 2-2 draws at Anfield against West Brom, Sunderland and Newcastle (all of which we led, the latter two matches 2-0) and then a vintage balls up of a display that saw us lose to Southampton 3-2 after leading 2-0 at half time. 9 points dropped that would have seen us into the top 4 back in 2016.
Solid number 2? He ain't fit to lace Alisson's boots. A blind man can see that.
