Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet: How do I handle criticism...?

Published on: 31 October 2017

Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet insists he can live with the criticism that comes his way.

Mignolet is well aware of the doubters amongst the Kop support.

But he says: “You know when you play a good game and you know when you play a bad game," Mignolet said.

“Normally we play midweek which wasn't the case this week so that didn't help because then a lot gets written and a lot gets said. You can only put it behind you with a good performance.

“Everyone deals with criticism in a different way. Some guys read it, some guys don't really listen to it, some guys try to stay away from it, some guys get angry about it.

“It is just about staying calm, not getting carried away with what is said because that is part and parcel of playing for Liverpool. You have to deal with it as it's not going to change.

“It is about making sure you get the right reaction. Everyone wanted to respond in a good way with a good performance.

“That's what we did and that is why we can be proud of it. We did a good job. We won at home and that is something we need to do on a consistent basis.

“We are happy with that. We can move on and look forward to the Champions League in midweek."

Mignolet laughs off claims he wobbles under pressure.

“That's not going to happen to me. I just play my game the best I can and if the team needs my help I'll try to do it," he added.
