He has his critics.
Liverpool look set to offer their Belgian ‘keeper Simon Mignolet a new contract as Jürgen Klopp has reportedly already been convinced of his qualities.
While the German is relatively new to life at Anfield, I’m certain that a lot of ‘Pool fans will be happy to provide Klopp with a short history lesson about their first choice ‘keeper.
The recent match against Bordeaux featured another memorable Mignolet error and the news that he’s set to be offered a new deal has divided some people on Twitter into specific groups.
Here’s our take on things.
People living in the short-term.

His long-term detractors.
What on earth does anyone see in Simon Mignolet? Terrible, terrible decision by #LFC to offer him a new contract if reports are true.

Mignolet getting a new contract. I'm already fuming with Klopp.

Calm and reasonable response.
Klopp: "Simon Mignolet is one of the smartest keepers I've had. He's still young enough to develop. He is very open."

Mignolet will only have two years left on his contract in the summer. A renewal makes sense, regardless of whether he'll be number one.

Think outside the box. Simon Mignolet is a great number TWO goalkeeper. Jürgen Klopp is saying the right stuff for him to sign contract #LFC
