By saying exactly the same thing as you said on a previous post doesnt make it any more correctMignolet is good, I know hes good and O'Neill knows hes good. Thats why a top class manager will select him as first choice keeper for the second successive season in a row while internet experts paw over perceived flaws in his game every week.
Just because O'Neill doesn't change things and keeps him in, doesn't mean he massively rates him. O'Neill has always tended to have a keeper and more or less stick with him through thick and thin unless they're completely error prone as Sorensen was when he first went to Villa and I dont think that's any different with Mig.
I also think O'Neill was impressed with him playing on through injury when Westwood cried off and then it bought him time when he didn't deserve to be playing last season. If there's one thing you can't fault Mig with it's a lack of bravery or a bad attitude and he's half way their with impressing O'Neill, but that doesn't necessarily mean O'Neill thinks he's this amazing prospect people on here are peddling. And he'll be 'steady' when he's consistent in his game, not when he's too often indifferent.
he's a great shot stopper and made some excellent saves to keep us in games. the amount of excellent saves he's made from shots/headers more than make up for the few times he's cocked up a cross and we've conceded.
He isn't. He's good, but not agile enough to be 'great' as a shotstopper.
