[PL] Newcastle (H): Post Match

[danperkins]

Sure, but today wasn't one of them.

We would have been only 2 points behind United if we had of won today. Would have been nice to finish above them.

[TheElephantMan]

Mathematically we could have reached top four, I wanted us to finish above United. Think we've blown it in that respect now. The last few weeks have been fun anyway.

[Myo]

Migs rightly at fault for the first, sturro was at fault for the second.. Why?because once again aside from his goal and a few good moves he gives it away because he wants to dribble all the way when he could have layer it off to someone in a better position... Rather than being caught ball hogging..

[kemm1]

**** off Mignolet.

[Leyton388]

How many points has Mignolet cost us this season now?

[Kenneth]

We ****ed up any realistic chance of getting top 4 before Klopp even arrived. It's all about the EL and has been for weeks.

[TheElephantMan]

We've had our chances since, but yes we were a complete mess when Klopp arrived.

He does make some strange decisions, there was that one, the dive and the run towards his own corner flag to name but three. Very well taken goal though.

Mignolet is just so predictably bad with a crossed ball, there must be a compilation video of his ****-ups in this regard somewhere.

As for the rest, a great first half of quick pass and move football, some joyous moments of interplay. That's what we have to hang on to for hope, I thought Lallana was superb, Stewart did well in the middle as well and Moreno. While Firmino has been quiet in front of goal (though again he scored one that didn't count) he actually is adding moments of quality but they tend to happen quickly so people think he's doing nothing instead.

How many points has Mignolet cost us this season now?

It was approximately 15 in February, so take your pick now in April.

You could argue another three points dropped today because that Newcastle goal early in the second half rejuvenated them.

[Kenneth]

How that's been worked out? It's ridiculous to put a number on it.

[TheElephantMan]

We all know that Mignolet isn't good enough, hopefully Klopp does too.

[Chazza]

I am sure he does.

[Muddled]

How that's been worked out? It's ridiculous to put a number on it.

He's made nine errors that have led to us conceding a goal (as of 6 February).

Obviously it's not a concrete figure as the opposition may well have tucked away another opportunity. But without those errors and those goals not being conceded, hypothetically we would have been 15 points better off.

[Kenneth]

Yes, we can definitely improve our GK and hopefully will. We won't get one that doesn't make mistakes though.
