Mignolet is a great and loyal servant to the club. Even after Alisson's arrival which confined him to the bench, Klopp praised his professionalism which speaks volume of his character, alongside Lallana and Milner. Unfortunately, things didn't work out well for him at LFC as we would've hope, but at least he got to leave us as a European champion. Glad he found success at his new club Brugge and let's all wish him and Brugge the very best against City in their final CL group stage match. YNWA
@Smashinfinity Yup precisely. All the more, that earns my respect for Simon Mignolet. While his performance may not hit our expectations, his personality and commitment earns my respect. He is just unlucky that much of his LFC career is played in the pre-VVD era, where he has little reliable protection from our defense and that may have affected his confidence to some extent. However, his recognition that Alisson is a better keeper than him and being "willing to stay on bench for the Brazilian" really shows how down-to-earth and humble he is as our LFC footballer and person. While he may not be among our best GK, I fully respect him and I feel that he deserves a rousing ovation from our Anfield crowd and recognition from the club for the meritorious service he had given to Alisson and our whole squad. I hope he'll get a rousing welcome back to Anfield sometime in future should we play Brugge in the CL. He deserves the reconition from our LFC fans. Glad to see Mignolet excel and win league titles with Brugge. YNWA Mignolet
I knew Mignolet was a keeper who dwelled in decisions after his first error for Liverpool, i believe that was his biggest drawback when it came to be a GK. They way Liverpool have always played a GK mistake is a given, and we needed GK who can move past it in a instant. The positive aspect to that , he is a really intelligent human.
I think at times the problem was his intelligence where you just needed impulse, you could see him overthinking and then rushing because of it. Still a great servant to the club though.
Fairly sure he won the golden glove for Brugge a couple of seasons after he went back. He’s had incredible games for them and is a class goal keeper that didn’t suit Klopps philosophy, people speak ill of him but he made some crazy saves and had a great rate at penalty saves too. He’s helped us transition and is a former player I still like.
@joeutm212 on the whole he probably was, but Karius was on the up and much younger. But the sentiment you expressed is right people massively underplay Karius' ability before that final
Great shot stopper, great at saving pens too, but always thought mentally he didnt have what he needed to be to be a TOP keeper for us. Glad hes setlled and found a club where he can be the no.1
I think he comes across really well there. He was a really decent goalkeeper for the Reds. Yes, Alisson is better but it’s nice to hear someone being calm and classy when talking about leaving Anfield and I’m glad his career has continued to work out for him. ⚽️❤️
Boss shot stopper Shite distribution The amount of balls he kicked into touch was incredible Klopp needed a keeper who could be like a extra defender and have high level distribution why he sanctioned a nearly 70m fee for a keeper the rest is history 👌🏻
His injuries have affected him unfortunately (Ali) I think the club recognised this why we have bought a new keeper he is still one of the best but Alison Becker is not as affective with his feet this season i completely agree 👍🏻 mignolet was a very good keeper for a certain system I werent critical of his overall ability just his distribution really what cost him his career under klopp.
It was always a pleasure for opposing players to play against Simon. He was always generous at the front post... And back post, plus right down the middle.
Definitely didn’t help him having the centre backs he had in front of him, Mignolet had the diving and reaction capabilities of a top top keeper but his decision making and positioning always let him down, i can’t remember how many times he’d come out for a cross and get nowhere near the ball then we’d concede
That's the thing I expected him to mention about Alisson. Alisson's explosiveness, his jump - how often do we see it? Not that often, because his positioning is immaculate. Migs had some insane shot stopping on his day, possibly even more than Ali, but his positioning (and consistency) not being consistently good let him down. And then there's Ali's one v ones, he's the best there's ever been at them. Migs is right to say he could have benefited from having VVD and Matip at CB, but it wouldn't have got him past Ali, regardless of the fee he came for.
@@paulie-g true and he’s probably tryna make the argument that he should’ve started over karius and if he did they might’ve won the UCL who knows but karius was solid, not top class but for 6 months it’s not like we were desperate for a new keeper and maybe without that UCL final we’d of kept him as number 1 but the club saw no coming back from that and had the coutinho money to spend on the best keeper around
@@Ruscococo1 his mistakes were always to do with positioning tho like if he was positioned well he could make top class saves but he tended to leave a bigger gap one side making it easy for the forward or he’d come out too early or come out for crosses he couldn’t get. My argument is that his basic diving and reaction saves were great but u need more than that
Great keeper! Wtf. That's some serious revisionist history! Worst first team long term goalie I can ever remember for Liverpool. Cost us the 13/14 title because of his ridiculous mistakes week in week out. He's not even average.
Hey Ben as a goalkeeper podcast I’d love to see Karius on this , it be interesting goalkeeper to goalkeeper to talk about it especially as he was one of the best keepers in Germany to moving to Liverpool. People forget that he actually was having a good season bar 2 games Bournemouth and Madrid. I’d love to see it
No, Mignolet was never 'shit'. Top shot-stopper, but had consistency issues not helped by the defence in front of him and the playstyle. Absolutely a CL-level keeper, as he's shown with Brugge (and his numbers with us), just not world-class like Ali is (few are).
You can tell who the part time Liverpool fans are, they trot out the 'Karius was great until the final' rubbish when he had been making really bad errors for months. We had an easy CL group stage battering some teams 7-0, the one time he did face a shot he made a huge mistake against Spartak Moscow away from home, stood in the wrong place from a free kick. He conceded a pen at Crystal Palace and another at home to Spurs, made a similar error at home to Roma that he made in the final but got away with it as the shot hit the bar, made mistakes away at MC and Roma, badly out of position when Sane scored against us in the 4-3 league game. It came out after he left that Achterberg and Klopp had already instructed the owners to get Alisson months before the CL final. I love and miss Klopp but he messed up dropping Simon, he wasn't Ali or Kelleher level but he wouldn't have embarrassed us in that final.
Honestly don't think there's as big a difference between Mignolet and Kelleher. Mignolet was error prone but a lot of times he looked worse because the pundits blamed every loss on him even though the defence he had in front of him was shit
He was better than Karius and shud have played the champions league final. Going into that game i was nervous Karius will struggle and he really did big time.
One of Klopp's greatest mistakes as manager. If Klopp didn't choose Karius over Migs , Liverpool would have won the European Cup that season. By knock-out stages it was so obvious Karius was way out of his depth at that level..
Allegiance aside, this interview was incredible. Having a lesser but well spoken name is a breath of fresh air! Nobody wants to constantly hear from the same people every week all over TH-cam. Be different, give the lesser names a chance to chance. Well done!
any defender or keeper would be better with van dijk in their team tho, like how many times would they of made a mistake then van dijk would make it up for them? it’s like how konate covers for trent loads in this system, van dijk did the same for moreno
@@timmy5876 thats kinda my point. How much better did/would Moreno been with VVD? I think Milner woulda been happier without being the backup LB on top of all his other duties haha.
@ moreno was a decent dribbler but other than that he didn’t have much at all, milner was the backup left back to robertson when moreno left but tbh i preferred him there cus trent was also down the right side so we needed someone better defensively down the left side like milner. Milner also had a hell of a cross on him and top work rate so he was in a way a worse version of robertson in every way lol. Milner was a top midfielder for a few years for us but we didn’t necessarily need him to start games so moreno leaving wasn’t an issue, like we never had to start anyone bad in midfield
Melbourne 2013 lfc pre season tour and mignolet had just signed with us...there was mignolet minding his business shopping and walking down the street from the team hotel...I think my mate and I where the first people to recognise him and he was happy to be photographed with us..good times before what would be a cracking year
Signing Simon was never an issue. Putting him as No1 almost immediately and dethroning Reina was. He was, at the time, never a No1 for a club of Liverpool's stature and ambitions. Having said that, placing him behind Loris was an even bigger blunder...Loris was just not a Premier League level keeper. I do however like Simon and i respect him immensely as a professional...he conducted himself with dignity and I'm happy that things worked out for him.
Can’t overegg the compliments because he’s a nice bloke, which he is. Very good keeper to have made it to an elite premier league level but NOWHERE NEAR the level to deliver titles.
He left because he wasn't good enough for to be the number 1 at a top PL team. He was great at Sunderland and worked as a bridge player from Reina to Alisson (With ofc a short bump named Karius) but he was never someone you could truly depend upon. He had some great and amazing saves and good games but they always came with the fear of a screw up that always came at some point. He most certainly was good enough to play in the PL for a lower mid team and could look like a star.... He just wasn't more than that but he made the most of it and almost won the PL in 13/14. He's a good guy though and was a great number 2 for Belgium.
You may not agree with me but I’m convinced that if he had started in that 2018 UCL final instead of Karius, we would have won. Glad he left Liverpool with a winners medal around his neck.
Saw Mignolet pick his nose throughout a whole meal when I was sat on the table next to him in a restaurant in Liverpool. He was finished for me from that point.
Great shot stopper (absolutely top class in that area) and a good lad, but he wasn't physical enough in his six yard box for Premier League football and too often got caught on his line when he should have been coming to claim balls and physically dominate the area. Any oppo coming in to his box looking to get on to a cross shoudl have know that they were going to get clattered. His lack of confidence in this area unsettled his central defensive partnerships, they wouldn't know if he was coming or staying. And when he did come it was neearly always badly timed as he wouldn't commmit early enough and be caught out of postion. Opp's knew if they put a ball inot the corridor of uncertainty or got a ball into the edge of the six yard box that panic would ensue...
Seen a lot of people praising mignolet for how good he was. Sorry but I watched most games with him and he started off well but he made so many little errors and mistakes. Sure he’s a great guy but a below average keeper. Karius before the champions league final was miles ahead
If I were Mignolet I would've left immediately after Jugen put Karius ahead of me! You'll have to open history books to find someone who was close to being as bad as Karius was/is.
He was absolute rubbish. At the point he was dropped for Karius he had one of the worst records in the PL. Couldn't catch a cross to save his life and absolutely hopeless at playing out. There's a reason why we paid a world record for Alisson.
The crazy thing with karius, he never really had a bad game. Most goals he conceaded was down to a shaky defence. He got concussed in that ucl final game and then was written off completely. I feel like karius has been given so much hate since which has lead to a lack in confidence and then ability.
you learn spanish from a brazilian that speaks Portuguese as a native language? they certainly are 2 languages closely related and maybe he speaks spanish too, but.....
Mingolet should never have been signed. Garbage gk. Its easy to look good at a small club that faces 15 shots a game. Pepe Reina should never of been treated the way Rogers treated him... Reina could do nothing all game, then in the 85th minute pull off one save to keep the game at a 1 0 win.
I'm glad this joker left our club. Absolute joke of a keeper. Amount of goals this guy let in. Counnt even keep dema bas goal out when Gerrard slipped. You think Allison or kelleher would've let that in?!!!!
Sorry he was awful. He was the absolute main reason why we didn't win the 2013/14 league season. Worst long term first team goalkeeper I can ever remember at Liverpool. Should have got rid of him years earlier.
I'd rather have Mignolet over Karius the virus and Adrian The Drain. Karius cost us CL final in an embarrassing way. Adrian cost us b2b CL wins cos he panicked, we already went through against Atletico but mistakes from him cost us. Mignolet also has the best penalty saving rate over Alisson, Adrian, Karius, Kelleher
One of the worst first choice goalkeepers in our history. A statue would have been better in nets for some of the goals we conceded. He simply wasn't good enough for a club of Liverpools size
Mate, that's a silly take. Mignolet was actually a great shot stopper, but only okay with his feet etc which is why Klopp picked Karius and then later Alisson.
@spsawyer22 bro you have bad memory. He was shocking for us. Great shot stopper but his lapses in concentration made us conceed silly goals. He was awful when dealing with high balls.
@ he wasn't the best at dealing with crosses but again, at shot stopping he was actually really good. He was our GK that crazy 13-14 season and he saved at least 2 games with great saves late in the game.
@@spsawyer22 I actually contest that he was a great shot stopper. Look at the goals we conceded in the games against City and Chelsea in the 13/14 run in as an example. Everyone talks about Gerrards slip but if you can bear to watch it again, Mignolet actually made it EASIER for Demba Ba to score than to miss.
Feel for the guy, we had a shit defence back then.. Even with VVD, Matip, Konate etc, Allison has still had to save our ass so many times.. I imagine without VVD, Matip, Konate etc even Allison would struggle too..
Mignolet is a great and loyal servant to the club. Even after Alisson's arrival which confined him to the bench, Klopp praised his professionalism which speaks volume of his character, alongside Lallana and Milner.

People speaking badly against him. He is the reason Club Brugge have performed well in the UCL this season

One thing about Mignolet I've always loved was his intelligence even he knew he was a better keeper than Karius but understood it was Klopps choice
Acc don’t think at the time he was the better keeper. Karius was solid up untill that CL final and then was never the same.
Simon was a better shot stopper but only okay with his feet.
Karius was better with his feet, but dodgy decision-wise (even before the meltdown).
@joeutm212 on the whole he probably was, but Karius was on the up and much younger.
But the sentiment you expressed is right people massively underplay Karius' ability before that final
@@mch-gaming1437 yeh before that game i was expecting him to have a fairly bright future, pretty sure he wa only 23 at the time

Great shot stopper, great at saving pens too, but always thought mentally he didnt have what he needed to be to be a TOP keeper for us. Glad hes setlled and found a club where he can be the no.1
Great shot stopper, that pen save on the first day of the season against Stoke was incredible.
Shame about you know... Everything else. Worst 1st team keeper I can ever remember. Cost us the league in 13/14... So many unnecessary errors.
@ he isn’t the worst imo that’s harsh. The defence cost us the league that year. It was Suarez FC. Karius was definitely worse.
I think he comes across really well there. He was a really decent goalkeeper for the Reds. Yes, Alisson is better but it’s nice to hear someone being calm and classy when talking about leaving Anfield and I’m glad his career has continued to work out for him. ⚽️❤️
He wasn't good enough constantly making mistakes that cost Liverpool games.
He’s a lovely bloke but no lol. He was not a really decent keeper for them.
He wasn’t decent at all
Boss shot stopper
Shite distribution
The amount of balls he kicked into touch was incredible
Klopp needed a keeper who could be like a extra defender and have high level distribution why he sanctioned a nearly 70m fee for a keeper the rest is history 👌🏻

He was average at best.
Bang average keeper, second only to James as the worst long-term keeper LFC had in the prem era.

Great interview, he speaks really well
Always a good shot stopper and I never really understood why we picked Karius ahead of him. Glad he got a medal for the UCL win
It was about distribution of the ball which klopp highly valued. Mingo was a great player but was very slow releasing the ball
Karius really fast to give the ball to Benzema

Yes... spot on Karius was doing the job in an inconsistent Liverpool team. Only those two games was he not upto par.
One thing Klopp regret doing while in liverpool puting Kairus ahead of Mignolet
Mignolet was absolutely terrible. He had to drop him. Karius was doing better that season
@@dionb7584just not true at all LOL
did he told you that?
@@dionb7584 NEVER MIGNOLET WAS LESS ERROR GOAL KEEPER THAN KARIUS
@Bikkufootballtalks Mignolet was still shit and still was playing worse than Karius that season
His attitude is/was amazing. And this shows it really well. Pragmatic and hard working.
Mignolet is like the goalkeeper version of nunez, save difficult shot but let in easy ball.
Let's be honest him and karias were both shit, they not in the same league as the 3 we have now, respectful guy though
Karius is the shittest goalie ever,mignolet is a good shot stopper ,saved couple penalties as well
Karius was simply not good enough,migs was good enough for what we were then, but prone to dumb mistakes
Nah migs did a lot of dumb shit was never confident with him in goals
No, Mignolet was never 'shit'. Top shot-stopper, but had consistency issues not helped by the defence in front of him and the playstyle. Absolutely a CL-level keeper, as he's shown with Brugge (and his numbers with us), just not world-class like Ali is (few are).
If we had Migs in goal during champions league final we would have won
Mignolet was a top pro keeper. Gave his all
No he was not… Allison is way, way, way better…
Top pro means top professional. Not a future legendary player.
I still remember how he always punch the ball away bacause we didn't have a proper defender who dominant in the air like virgil. 😅
He now gets to chill in Brugge. Much better!
I remember that penalty save on his debut thought going be one of the greats for Liverpool watching that save . Unfortunately didn’t work out
He was always better then karius. Tho u gotta try to do a interview with karius
Mignolet over Karius only.

One of the best keeper at saving pens,
He is from the era where Liverpool were unable to find a match saving goalie. Think our last quality goalie was Dudek before Alisson arrived

Karius < Mignolet < Kelleher < Allison
The two keepers LFC have currwntly are miles better than the previous 2
Such an underrated keeper
Not really…..decent but not good enough to be Liverpools number 1. Wouldn’t have won what did if it wasn’t for Alisson
@@gazman6536He said he's underrated. Not that he's Allison level lol 🤡
Foul kepeer
Good shot stopper, wasnt gonna be able to play at his feet like Klopp wanted tho.
Stop the nonsense
Really liked Mignolet ynwa
Mignolet was our no 1 for 4 years, and he was never convincing for Liverpool
Still today I think he should have started the final in Kiev. He never would have made these mistakes
Seen a lot of people praising mignolet for how good he was. Sorry but I watched most games with him and he started off well but he made so many little errors and mistakes. Sure he’s a great guy but a below average keeper. Karius before the champions league final was miles ahead
Only Lukasz Fabianski has saved more penalties in Premier League history than Simon Mignolet.
I figured Allison spoke Portuguese not Spanish
Mignolet could’ve started everywhere else
Not really he was shit
He absolutely could not have. He wasn't good enough for a team in top 10 in the PL
2:20 sound's very scouse
It's more scouse then scouse itself. 😂
If I were Mignolet I would've left immediately after Jugen put Karius ahead of me! You'll have to open history books to find someone who was close to being as bad as Karius was/is.
Well you wouldn’t know that immediately would you…
What annoys me with these podcasts is when you have 2 PL goalkeepers yet the 3rd random guy wants to keep chirping in. Just let the pros talk please!
I always told everyone that Liverpool would not win anything with him in goal, he was a liability and simply not good enough, thank God he left!!!
Mignolet was always better than Karius. One of the few things Klopp got wrong.
He was absolute rubbish. At the point he was dropped for Karius he had one of the worst records in the PL. Couldn't catch a cross to save his life and absolutely hopeless at playing out. There's a reason why we paid a world record for Alisson.
Great player always let dowj by defence around you at tikes YNWA
The crazy thing with karius, he never really had a bad game. Most goals he conceaded was down to a shaky defence. He got concussed in that ucl final game and then was written off completely. I feel like karius has been given so much hate since which has lead to a lack in confidence and then ability.
This guy was Number 2 to Larry Karius lol 😂
Glad to see the back of him, he was nowhere near good enough for Liverpool FC.
He sounds just lie Daniel Brühl in Rush...
He was goated at penalties
you learn spanish from a brazilian that speaks Portuguese as a native language? they certainly are 2 languages closely related and maybe he speaks spanish too, but.....
He still has a scouse twang to some of his accent haha
Mingolet should never have been signed. Garbage gk.
Its easy to look good at a small club that faces 15 shots a game.
Pepe Reina should never of been treated the way Rogers treated him... Reina could do nothing all game, then in the 85th minute pull off one save to keep the game at a 1 0 win.
😍😍😍😍😍
I'm glad this joker left our club. Absolute joke of a keeper. Amount of goals this guy let in. Counnt even keep dema bas goal out when Gerrard slipped.
You think Allison or kelleher would've let that in?!!!!
Sorry he was awful. He was the absolute main reason why we didn't win the 2013/14 league season. Worst long term first team goalkeeper I can ever remember at Liverpool. Should have got rid of him years earlier.
Doesnt anybody remember when he was at the club? Him and karius were a fucking joke! Worst keeper pairing i have ever seen at a club.
He would of had a better career if he had a better defence infront of him ... FACT
Because you weren't good enough
I'd rather have Mignolet over Karius the virus and Adrian The Drain.
Karius cost us CL final in an embarrassing way.
Adrian cost us b2b CL wins cos he panicked, we already went through against Atletico but mistakes from him cost us.
Mignolet also has the best penalty saving rate over Alisson, Adrian, Karius, Kelleher
Mignolet, Loris and Jones ALL mediocre keepers. None of them really up to EPL standard or LFC standard.
He left Liverpool?? Pretty sure they couldn't rid fast enough
The question is why he has a Scottish accent?😂
He wasn’t good enough, simple

One of the worst first choice goalkeepers in our history. A statue would have been better in nets for some of the goals we conceded. He simply wasn't good enough for a club of Liverpools size
Mate, that's a silly take. Mignolet was actually a great shot stopper, but only okay with his feet etc which is why Klopp picked Karius and then later Alisson.
@spsawyer22 bro you have bad memory. He was shocking for us. Great shot stopper but his lapses in concentration made us conceed silly goals. He was awful when dealing with high balls.
@ he wasn't the best at dealing with crosses but again, at shot stopping he was actually really good. He was our GK that crazy 13-14 season and he saved at least 2 games with great saves late in the game.
@@spsawyer22 I actually contest that he was a great shot stopper. Look at the goals we conceded in the games against City and Chelsea in the 13/14 run in as an example. Everyone talks about Gerrards slip but if you can bear to watch it again, Mignolet actually made it EASIER for Demba Ba to score than to miss.
Probably because he was terrible
He left because he was crap. Quite simple really lol
You left Liverpool, Simon, because you weren't good enough.
FSG out
Feel for the guy, we had a shit defence back then.. Even with VVD, Matip, Konate etc, Allison has still had to save our ass so many times.. I imagine without VVD, Matip, Konate etc even Allison would struggle too..
Poor guy had shit defenders
