Very good shot stopper, can improve his distribution and his command of crosses.

But hes very young for a keeper and will get better.

This, and some. Fantastic shot stopper, but since he left Gus has us playing it out from the back more - so distribution is vital. Mannone is better in this area.
 
Gordon was a better keeper before his injury problems like. Mig was massively overrated here

He's looking far from convincing for Liverpool atm. That 3rd goal tonight was embarrassing

comfortably. When you consider he spent a considerable amount of time behind Nosworthy and McShane he was even better than given credit for.

He was top drawer in Steve Bruce's first season here. There was a period after Christmas IIRC where his form was probably the best seen at the club since Shay Given's spell here.

Gordon was also the unsung hero of the Chelsea 0-3 game.

Mignolet was very good for us but he was not in the class of Gordon for me
 
Good keeper, but not the top keeper many made him out to be. Had an excellent last season here mind.

Mannone's not as good, but I think getting £10m for Mig wasn't a bad deal considering his contract length. As usual though we didn't use the funds wisely enough.
 
Gets less shots to save there which means the howlers stand out more. Always been dreadful on crosses.

We got excellent money for him.
 
He hasn't developed his game at all since he left us.

Added pressure and expectation and I don't think he's been too comfortable with it. He moved on some distance in his last 12 month or so here, maybe in the situation where we lacked a few leaders and some guts, then Mig's bravery simply stood out. Maybe he'll progress there but it's not looking too likely at the moment.

Agree in all aspects apart from the excellent last season, would extend that another 6 months or so.

He was brilliant in his final season here, but his flaws were pretty clear even then. One of the journalists at The Times said in the summer that Rodgers wasn't convinced by Mignolet and that he was effectively on his last chance to impress, unfortunately he's not had a particularly good start to the season and watching their games, it seems like their players don't have a great deal of faith in him either.

Can see them signing Victor Valdes on a free for him to take Mignolet's place once he gets back to full fitness, think they'll then sell Mignolet next summer.

I thought he done exceptionally well when he came back in when Westwood got sick/injured with the mask on, but I thought he showed massive bravery then rather than being exceptional as a all round keeper and that won him a lot of fans. Can't actually remember how he ended the season though as it was so limp I've more or less forgot most of it. I just felt in his last season his decision making improved a lot, where previously I'd questioned it more often than not.
