Mignolet had a decent game between the sticks

Mignolet was one of a few Liverpool players to emerge with credit from the game on Monday night. He was quick to come off his line, made some solid saves and did his utmost to organise a terrible defence.

However, none of this suggests he is good enough to be Liverpool’s first choice goalkeeper. That being said, though, it is the right decision to select the Belgian ahead of Loris Karius.

Ad

Everyone knew Leicester had a point to prove and Shakespeare admitted after the game that he told Vardy to get in behind Klopp’s defence and be a nuisance.

Liverpool looked somewhat shocked by proceedings, and they shouldn’t as teams should prepare for the opposition to play to their strengths. Especially a team that are on the back of a Premier League triumph.
