Been reading the Mignolet posts below, and got to say that i'm with Ed001 on this. Mignolet showed how good he can be at the back end of last season, but these last couple of games he's reverted to type. If a 6ft plus GK comes out to punch a ball, under no circumstances should he beaten to it, if he is, then the GK has made a mistake. He threw some stupid balls out yesterday, one to moreno which nearly cost us a goal.

The balls he punches he should be catching.

Nothing wrong with punching a ball. Often its a safer option than going for a catch over several players heads.

Catch the ball and the attack is over. Punch the ball and we're still under threat as his punches go anywhere. The guy is 6ft 4 and with his wing span and jump he should easily be clearing any striker jumping. If it's coming at him like a bullet fair enough but he attempts to punch everything.

Rubbish.

A goalkeeper is given the honour of being able to use his hands properly, so catch the ball he should.

What is so hard about doing that?

At the end of the day, if a keeper can't catch, its either because they are crap or are terrified of the players around them.

GK's are no longer coached to catch balls anymore. They are now coached to get a good fist on them. That is the way it is now so we all have to deal with it, I suppose. As for Migs, he has reverted to the old Migs that has plagued us for years now up until late last season.

The other keepers in the premier league have no issue catching the ball. Obviously they're not listening to the new way of coaching 🤔.

He's been here long enough to show that he's not good enough for us, and should be moved on or dropped. I really hope Karius is given another run in the first team.
