Eds n reds. im after some opinons. referring to Mignolet and maybe positions in general, how many games should you give before dropping a player.? Is 4 not good but not bad games enough.? I think probably yes considering the other 2 young options both need their chance as otherwise why keep 3 decent keepers. Having said that, if it was 1 of Ward or Karius that had played the exact same 4 games i would be more willing to give more time then with mignolet. thoughts.?

We have 3 keepers and Klopp thinks Migs is the best at the moment. End of.

I think 4 games is enough for mugs because he's had almost 4 years to cement that place and every time we see improvement he then regresses. I think we need to make a call and give one of the other 2 a sustained run in the team and stick by them regardless of errors ( at least for a while)

Migs has had more than enough time, let's not forget he was a premier league keeper before we got him so should've been of a certain quality from the off. the other time i'm more inclined to give more leeway. Karius new league etc. Ward first season in the prem.

I would give him (mig) a run of at least 10 games but having said that he's had 3 seasons and barring an ok stint toward the end of last year he has never convinced so personally think ward deserves a chance but possibly will get it in efl cup and see how that goes then maybe a run of games for him. Kauris deserves a go but behind our defence as it is I think most keepers would struggle.

We play very high and that works in other less competitive leagues where the same couple of teams win every game but pl is higher tempo every game as pep is also finding and a balance has to be found. This is imo the reason for conte and morhino success in our league as they sort defending out first and let the flair players do there thing at the other end but neither is so committed to a style to just say let's grind a result out in any specific game!

I would play Karius in a few cup games and if does well then rotate him in. Then play Ward in cup games and if he does well sell Migs.

Looks like we might be bringing in a new centre back and maybe a defensive midfielder, also we have a new left back and TAA is new to the right back position, so I would wait a little bit longer and until the defence is settled in before making a decision either way, I think it would be suicide to play karius again right now with how unpredictable our defence is, it would be like putting him right back into the firing line.

The only cup games (unless you mean CL as well) up until Xmas is the league cup and then that's only 1 game a month and that's if we win them.

This was covered pretty well by ed001 yesterday. Migs form has not been good this season, and this has been made more unacceptable by the fact he has shown that he can perform to the required standard in the latter parts of last season, and let those standards slip. I would give Ward a chance as Karius has not managed to either impress when called upon or displace Migs.

Karius should be given the chance, MIGs is a good shot stopper but he is unreliable under high balls etc. That attempted punch and then catch last night is a perfect example of that and it spreads fear through the team.
