As time goes on the more I think he isn't cut out for a team in the top 10 let alone a team that's meant to be competing on all fronts.
I know, without a single shred of doubt I'd prefer Reina there.
When the defence is F***ing up at least he lets them F***ing hear it is a start. Mistake after mistake by Skrtel and Johnson yet Johnson still has time to have a laugh and a joke with his mate Cristiano.
We need an animal that people fear to stop the self pity and acceptance of mediocrity that's abound back there. I don't know, someone like a Mascherano or Carragher, who if you made a mistake you wouldn't want to go in for the half-time team talk for the fear he might just chin ya. None of that, they all look scared of the football let alone the opposition.
Souness backpeddled a little on calling Mignolet a coward, I wouldn't. Put a Reina/Grobs/Clem in that situation tonight for the 3rd and they'd have taken a boot to the head to ensure the Madrid lad doesn't get a touch.
Seems we're coached to not tackle too, not have fight, win pretty but if you can't win don't try every means necessary to win ugly. As much as I don't think Flanno is the best defender his passion tonight would have been exactly what we needed some kid who lives and dies for the club would have shown up some of these pretenders at the back for what they truly are, hard men, don't make me F***ing laugh.
