better defender who can actually command the area and help him out would be a start

Sky sports stats say that Mignolet was to blame for 8 goals this season and cost us 3 points. not sure who they worked it out but if true then he has had a good year as the rest are all down to the defence.

There are some traits that Bergovic is better than Mignolet such as commanding his area and much better in dealing with crosses but Mignolet has his strong point too such as shot stopping. Like I said before I actually wanted us to get Bergovic before we signed Mignolet.

That aside, we cannot afford wholesale changes in our side, and goal keeper is not the most critical area for us to change at the moment (unless we can unearth another Courtois). I'll say central defence, left back, wide attacker and a commanding midfielder should be our priorities now then we work our way to the other area when the right players become available

I take all Sky sports stats with a pinch of salt. I did like the one they did a few years back that said Liverpool players coverd more miles in games than any other team.....not sure that good

Begovic is world class, Mignolet is an average premier league keeper. Mignolet's reflexes and agility are good, his shot stopping is questionable due to his suspect positioning and average footwork. We need a class goalkeeper and Mignolet is not that. He's the teams joint second weakest link along with Skrtel... The lad has to go. If he doesn't we will struggle defensively again next season.

Rodgers named LMA Manager of the Year



The Northern Irishman is the first Reds boss to ever receive the accolade - which is voted for by every LMA manager, including all 92 professional league clubs - in his second term at the helm.

Rodgers guided Liverpool to a second-place finish in the Barclays Premier League as they pushed Manchester City all the way in pursuit of the title and secured a return to the Champions League. This after they'd finished seventh the season before.

In doing so, the Reds' exciting style of football yielded 101 league goals in total - a club record in the top flight.

On Monday night, at an awards ceremony in London, Rodgers' efforts throughout a phenomenal campaign were recognised by his peers as he accepted the prestigious LMA prize.

LMA chairman, Howard Wilkinson, said: "There can be no greater tribute to a manager and his work than a tribute awarded by his match day foes and peers. This evening we applaud Brendan Rodgers as he receives that most valuable award.

"Liverpool Football Club's performances and results this season have provoked memories of some of those momentous years in the past when they had to contend with those two Uniteds - the first from Leeds, the second from Manchester.

"For Liverpool and Brendan, I'm sure we all hope this season marks the beginning of a new voyage and a new era.

"Brendan is not an 'overnight' success. Aged just 20, his career in professional football was cruelly halted by serious injury. Undaunted by such a devastating set-back that can have a stunning effect on one's life, let alone career, he set off determined to get a coaching education and, along the way, he has filled almost every post in the game.

"His career as a manager has been eventful. Four years after securing his first job at Watford, and following much self-reflection after being dismissed at Reading, he enjoyed great success at Swansea before being appointed at Liverpool in June 2012 where he has made a huge impact.

"Being present at a match at Anfield this season was reminiscent of the truly good old days; long may it continue."

Richard Bevan, chief executive of the LMA, added: "Brendan Rodgers is a superb role model to all aspiring managers and coaches as, despite being only 41, he already has over 20 years of coaching experience from academy, to reserve and then to first-team football. I am sure he will continue to build on his success with Liverpool this season in years to come."

Congrats to Brendan, a well deserved accolade.

Thoroughly merited ,one of the most outstanding young managers in the game.


Rodgers said: "I am both humbled and privileged to be offered the chance to extend my stay at this great club. I am very happy to build on the foundations we have built over the last two years and now we move onto the next phase which I believe will be as exciting, challenging and rewarding.

"I would like to place on record my thanks to the players and staff, who have been absolutely brilliant for me since the day I started at this great football club. I am grateful to our owners and senior management team who have supported me and who share my vision of how we can progress on the field.

"Finally, I must thank the supporters who are at the heart of everything we do here. I am honoured every day to lead this team and I thank the fans for their continued support as together we strive to bring  success back to Liverpool Football Club."

Brilliant news, great way to start the off season

Excellent news, now keep Suarez, sign 6-7 players that will add quality to our squad and lets go out and remind Europe what they have been missing all these years!
