For all the flack he's been given on here, Mignolet has served up some poetic justice in our most important game thus far this season.
Make no bones about it, had we lost on penalties it would have been Mignolet's fault but he produced two excellent saves and deserves his plaudits in the spotlight.
Great penalty takers (Can apart), loved Lucas's who smashed the ball back into the net again showing 'character' that this team lacks.
The game itself, was another abject disappointment. For all those starry eyed after the thriller and celebrations at Carrow Rd, promoting it as the game that will turn our season round, were only kidding themselves.
Normal service resumed and we were f**king awful. The match lacked quality and the only team who offered a smidgen of that was f**king Stoke - of all teams! From the moment the first whistle went, we never looked like scoring, it was sterile turgid stuff.
Up until ET, Sahko was my MoTM. The aerial challenges he made, the vital blocks and the work he got through shored up a soft defense. Other than that our midfield was dreadful, glad to see Henderson getting hooked for doing very little. Firmino - yep still can't see what all the fuss is about, Lallana again crap.
I found myself screaming for the intro of Benteke and think he's now the avenue Klopp should be exploring. All this false 9 bollox isn't convincing and it's time we use him better, until the summer at least. He actually looked okay in patches and if nothing else offered us a presence up front.
Stoke IMO, were the better team on the night compared to our lot, and it took the lottery of penalties to beat them. Let's hope we don't embarrass ourselves in the final against better opposition.
Wembley here we come!
Migs again, first shot on target first f**king goal, does this man ever save a f**king shot.
He was putting his hand in the air before he even hit the floor appealing for the f**king offside!!! P**ck, play to the whistle and come out to his feet you useless player
