Mignolet..

That's what I thought. I'd imagine you know as much about goalkeeping as I do about biking. Cheers
This is possibly the shittest argument to defend a point in history.
The same bullshit argument that people use when defending a manager who is failing 'Errr how many clubs have you managed?'

Youre a fucking joke.
 
I dont even know why im bothering to discuss it with most of you happy clappy bellends.
Im not saying he is shit. Im not saying we shouldnt have signed him. Im saying his tendancy to slap the ball away rather than catch it is alarming and his distribution is wank.

That is all.

So there is no room to debate? I'm just countering your distribution comment with the fact it is very often passed back to him under pressure from the defenders which makes him have to clear/ hoof.

I was also just suggesting that criticising a keeper for turning a shot around the post is scraping the barrel of criticism!

Im not talking about kicking from his feet. Im talking about from his hands, throwing or kicking. Its shit.
And slow. And unadventurous.
And i know what you are suggesting about my criticism. Thanks.
 
No sir, big difference. He's clearly a class keeper. Couple of issues here and there, but he's saved us a few times and garnered at least four points for us. Can;t ask for more. You're pulling a "What have the Romans done for us" argument.

The 'couple of issues here and there' are fucking HUGE with a keeper and will cost us goals and games. They need sorting, then he could be a class keeper.
Im bored of this.
Do one.
 
Like ive said numerous times I dont think he is shit.
There are worrying traits.

They are traits that I think would definitely need to be addressed. I didn't see the Swansea game so maybe there were more examples of it in there.

I do agree on the crosses bit... It seems to be a GK trend these days. Maybe the lighter & more swervy balls just make it too risky for keepers to come out and grab high balls these days?

Of course it's boring, your arguments are weaker than a tetley's, and you've been found out.

has he cost us a point yet? No. Has he gained us a few? Oh yeah baby.

So, until the time, when he is consistently (and not just once or twice) costing us points, I suggest you get back on your DA train, and don your rose tinted glasses between two jackets. For now: he's a shot stopper, who is just as human as the rest of the best.

As for you? even a broken clock is right twice a day 🙂
 
I think he's brilliant. Probably our best signing of the summer. Only for him we'd be fucked so it's unfair to be too critical.

I totally accept Oncy's point though. His distribution is questionable and he definitely could've caught one or two balls instead of parrying. But a bit of proper coaching will knock that out of him.
 
More importantly - he's the best fucking song we have.

There are few sites that compare to 200 reds in a pub singing to the tune if "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"

Found out? What are you talking about.
I genuinely dont think there has ever been a more boring, tragic, thick cunt than you in the history of this site.
Youre fucking hopeless. It pains me reading the fucking vomit you post. Please do me a service and put me on ignore. Because talking to you is like talking to a child.
A child who is a cunt.
 
Its fucking astonishing how many of you dickheads think a player cant be criticised.
Stupid happy clappy cunts.

No one said he can't be criticised, the one you chose to mention about him pushing shots away "for the cameras" is a shit one, the ball went out of play and it didn't cost us a goal and hasn't done so far. Rip into his distribution all you like.

There's only one thing worse that happy clappy bellends and that's idiots taking defense against a criticism as meaning that someone is burying their heads in the sand/being rose tinted/being a super fan. No, it's just a wank argument. Like the "Toure is fucking awful mate" points a couple of months ago, you know, just coz it was fashionable or something.

The most tragic thing is you're one of the sites best posters, yet you've chosen to adopt this sudo-site-cunt role of late. You do realise that 95% of the time when you're not posting something straight or funny or constructive you're coming across as a nobhead?

You're better than this shite. Sort it out eh.

That's pure class. You at your finest! I am in stitches here. Don't make me reach out and give you a hug now, that you've been owned so publicly.!

Tis true, on a good day, there's no other. On the other days, it's like you're angling for the position as the Sales director for The Lying Rag, or summat.
 
Anyway... Mignolet's shot stopping has been magnificent and his distribution has been atrocious. Part of why both are noticable is Reina was poor at the former toward the end, but at the latter is one of the best in the world, and that never went away. In addition to the spectacular odd goal he contributed to, his throws to spring a counter were brilliant.

Yes I'd rather the shot stopping be brilliant, than the distribution, if I could just pick one, but I'd expect that they are working on distribution with Mignolet because we should be looking to improve where every player is weakest. I want it all.

And yes the fact that we've played recently with little wide outlet due to our out of position fullbacks doesn't help, but its all the more reason to work on the problem.
 
Im starting to not rate him at all.
He doesnt come for crosses enough, he cant throw or kick the ball very well.
But the worst thing is his ridiculous for the camera diving saves, he could so easily catch half the shots he slaps out. He gives posession away constantly. Pushing soft shots out for corners with ridiculous dives thrown in.
Reaction saves seems all he can do.

Not saying he's sh!te? This tells a somewhat different story, Oncy, with respect.

Quit yer fucking bellyaching you soft cunt.

I couldnt give a fuck what you think. About anything.
 
He's a great shot-stopper but he lacks in a few other areas.
It's one of those signings where a bloke signs for us, does a couple of decent things, then people elevate him to a status of one of the best around. Like when we signed Carroll and some people thought "there's England's #9 sorted for the next 10 years".
Mignolet has been a good signing, is still young and will be a great keeper for us. But right now, he has some flaws in his game that need sorting IMO.
 
I'm not as concerned with Mignolet as Oncy is, and don't share the 'wank distribution' argument with him, but some of the fucking horrendous arguments thrown at him in here are pathetic.

"How many times have you played in goal?"

What the fuck is that.

I thought 'Tell me how Kolo Toure is doing' was better.
 
Haven't read thread, sorry if Quiffing.

I think his distribution definitely needs to improve.

However, & this is a big point, it's shown up more at present cos the centre backs are getting the ball, playing it wide, the full backs are invariably being pressed & play it back to the centre back or mignolet, therefore he's left with no option but to play it long.

The opposition are using it as an obvious tactic cos our movement & space finding in the centre is not up to scratch currently.

That's a tactical problem more than anything.

Mignolet can learn to play it better when kicking into the midfield & beyond, & he can learn to command his area much better too.

When he's under this much pressure when kicking it with so few options it's unlikely to improve though, that needs to be fixed first.

Btw, I played in goal in an SCM Drinkies five a side, so I'm qualified to speak on such matters.
