Liverpool-aanhang viert feest: "Dank de heer dat Mignolet terug is!"

Jarenlang was hij titularis bij Liverpool FC, maar sinds dit seizoen is de Rode Duivel zijn plaats tussen de doelpalen van Anfield kwijt. Coach Jürgen Klopp besloot immers om de voorkeur te geven aan zijn jonge landgenoot Loris Karius. Dat bleek echter geen goede keuze. Karius liet immers een erg bleke indruk achter en liet zich betrappen op heel wat (domme) foutjes. Klopp besloot dan ook Mignolet zijn plaats terug te geven voor de competitiewedstrijd van woensdagavond op Middlesbrough. En dat zorgde voor heel wat enthousiasme op Twitter. Een overzicht van enkele Tweets:

Mignolet has been brilliant since being dropped himself,not moaned once and in fairness deserves his chance,good call by klopp #LFC #Klopp

Mignolet has been solid this season when called upon, maybe substantial competition is what he needs? Shut up moaning and get behind him!

Good decision to start Mignolet, IMO. Karius has done fuck all to justify his place over him.

Mignolet doesn't let a single PL goal in this season. 23 consecutive clean sheets. pic.twitter.com/VwEVaPG9YK

Jesus! Balls of steel from Klopp! Mignolet has done well in cup games. Might be better being the underdog. Bold move. Karius will improve. https://t.co/gpj9qdNa04

#mignolet time to shine son. #LFC

If Mignolet performs under par, I'd question myself, and the whole fan base, whether we've been too critical at times #LFC

— Bhargav (@bp_lfc) 14 december 2016

Who would have thought we'd see the day that #LFC fans would be clamouring for Simon Mignolet to start in goal
