The top trio's plus Griezmann currently have: Suarez-18 Neymar, Benzema, Ronaldo-16 Bale-13 Griezmann-12 Messi-10 The obvious answer is Ronaldo, after scoring a hat-trick against Levante, half-a-dozen against Getafe, four against Betis,five against Las Palmas, and nothing against Barcelona, Atletico, Sevilla, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The header was not on target. 1 shot on goal, 1 goal. It's the Mignolet standard. I cannot believe we've just offered him a new 5 year contract. Is it some sort of psychological masterstroke from Klopp? Interesting article here about Liverpool's current squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to Mignolet, that goal wasn't his fault. A volley from 6 yards away isn't exactly easy to save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorshach Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Yeah, I'm not seeing how that's a stick to beat him with. He got a hand to it, but the power of the shot - and the short time he had to react - meant he couldn't keep it out. I wouldn't put money on de Gea saving that one either. In fact, I'd put money on him not saving it as well. Liverpool's problem vs United was toothlessness up front, combined with an instance of terrible defending (leaving Rooney with acres of space that close to goal). Mignolet wasn't a factor there.

Mme Erzulie Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 If it happens once or six times, you let it slide. When it's the norm that the first shot on goal is conceded, you tend to be less forgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxus Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 "First shot on goal" is not a well defined category. It could mean a half-assed shot from 25m away or it could be one like Rooney's this Sunday. To be honest, I don't nor will I ever hold a goal like this against Mignolet or any other keeper. It's very difficult to save and if a keeper manages to do that that's great, but expecting a sure save from this situation is not realistic.

Calibandar Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 According to LvG, Man United create several chances in the second half and scored from 1 of them. According to the commentators, and apparently everyone else who saw the game, Man United scored from the only chance they created. I wonder who is right? And yes, that is rhetorical. It is quite Mourinho-esque, his behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it's the norm that the first shot on goal is conceded, you tend to be less forgiving. Just to be clear, I'm not trying to say that Mignolet is a great keeper, or that he's worth a new five year deal. I think he's a good shot stopper, but he struggles with controlling his box. As of yet, he's relatively young for a keeper, he may still develop. But I do think Liverpool need a better keeper to compete long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tywin, Will say that checking out PL games on NBCSN on weekend mornings is a great way to start watching the game. Games tend to be pretty competitive and it's an easy time to invest yourself since no one does anything in the morning on the weekend anyway but sleep. That is, if you're in the US, which I think you are given you're a Vikings fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rorshach Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Nah, he should only support Arsenal if he's willing to be continually disappointed. Sure, they play nice, but in the end ... Instead, support Everton! We also play football that's nice to watch, but .... well... Okay, we're sort of an inferior version of Arsenal right now. But in a couple of years, we'll be a true shambles. Excellent fun! Sort of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I did notice it was a bit out of date, but the only recent one I could find was on some bookmaker's site. And it wasn't much kop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
