Simon Mignolet’s agent must be having the biggest laugh of his life right now.
The Belgian was caught out last night in the 3-3 draw between Liverpool and Arsenal with many fans again finding fault with the Belgian.
He was way out of position for one of Oliver Giroud’s goals, and was nowhere to be seen for another chance that fell to the Arsenal striker, who somehow manged to miss from about five yards out.
Liverpool fans raged at the former Sunderland ‘keeper’s role in a crucial game
Can someone/ANYONE please explain what mignolet is doing in this position? I have no words!!!! pic.twitter.com/xyGmAhPMwP

Some of these stattos should work out how many points Mignolet has cost us since we signed him #LFC

After the game Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp tried to defend the indefensible once again by claiming Mignolet needed help from his defenders for the goals leaked, but worse was to come for Reds fans.
Reports suggest that Belgian is to be offered a new FIVE-YEAR DEAL to extend his time at Anfield.
Mignolet's agent best get that new five year contract signed quickly.

A former Liverpool defender doesn’t see the sense in it
Simon Mignolet is to sign a 5-year extension to his #LFC contract. A good idea? Stephane Henchoz doesn't think so… pic.twitter.com/4yWp8BBd8t

If we are offering Mignolet a new contract, we should only let him sign it if he can catch it when thrown to him from the side.

And emotions ranged from despair…to even more despair
So proud of the fight in the boys last night👏 Although I hate slating players… Mignolet is costing us valuable points…. New contract? 🙈

If Mignolet deserves a 5 year contract I deserve a 10 year contract. I work harder collecting pressing stats FFS.

Although even among the darkness there is still some light
Mignolet is getting a new five year contract. I'd be surprised if he didn't fumble the pen while signing it.
