Is it something to think about over the summer, or is it even something which should be considered? It's strange, Simon Mignolet's debut season at Anfield has been an extremely odd one. Starting with that brilliant debut where he essentially won the three points that kick started Brendan Rodgers men's season with a brilliant last minute penalty save against Stoke, he has gone on to make some costly mistakes across the year and some blunders that have put his side under pressure in certain games. However he has also made some absolutely outstanding saves to keep Liverpool in winning positions at times, and for the Reds to be top of the standings and in contention to win their first Barclays Premier League title the year he joins, plus taking Gerrard, Sturridge and Suarez out of the equation for once, surely it comes down to him, at some point? It has to?
Confidence seems to be the only problem with the Belgian international, as Simon is a superb shot stopper and often reliable. Distribution and coming for crosses is something which needs work, of course, but it seems absolutely ridiculous and quite insane really that Mignolet could be finished at Liverpool and the Reds may look for an alternative after his debut season included AT LEAST a 3rd place finish, qualification for the UEFA Champions League next year (which was the club's main target) and the possibility of a superb title victory. He has to play again for the foreseeable future on Merseyside, no question about it. He deserves it, and he will only improve as a goalkeeper in the years to come.
