Brendan Rodgers obviously had a great deal of faith in Simon Mignolet when he signed him from Sunderland. Not only did the Liverpool manager praise the Belgian keeper as one of the top goalkeepers in the Premier League but he was willing to fork out £9 million for a five-year deal. On the whole the 26-year-old proved himself to be worthy of Rodgers' faith. In his official debut in the victory against Stoke City he saved a penalty from Jonathan Walters in the 89th minute which won Liverpool the three points. Mignolets supreme reactions allowed him to continue pulling off masterful saves all season we predict that the keepers reflex rating (currently 83) will be generously boosted in FIFA 15. Mignolet arguably would have been rated even higher if he wasnt guilty of committing several memorable errors in front of Liverpools goal. The 64 goalie looked particularly indecisive when reacting to corners and set-pieces, lacking the instinctive decision making skills which make a good keeper world class. It is perhaps because of this indecision that Mignolet played second fiddle to Thibaut Courtois for Belgium in the World Cup.
