Apologies but I just had another flashback from the season just gone by. I hate to be down on any of our players but when you consider that there were two games against Sunderland and Newcastle at home where two mistakes by Mignolet led to us dropping two points in both, 4 points in total. Take your pick from any number of other games where Simon messed up and you will have plenty of points at the end of it all which should have seen us get CL football.
I know it's not the done thing to single out individuals especially when they are keepers and you accept that they will make mistakes now and again. But when they are mistakes made against relegation fodder, kick starting their salvage plans AWAY from home, with them ultimately prevailing, such mistakes just cannot be passed over. I find it inconceivable how Karius could not improve us such was the basement level of standards that Mignolet set last season. I'm sure Simon is not that bad, I'm certain he's a better keeper but quite frankly that was a horror show of a season not worthy of number two status at the club. Karius's move to Liverpool is very much welcomed. I'm sure most people's dominant feeling is one of relief such was the gruesome cavalcade of F**k ups we seemed to witness week in week out.
