Since the League Cup Final, Simon Mignolet has been pretty good. So much so, we genuinely were starting to believe he’d turned a corner and could play a part as our no.1 next season.
But today against Newcastle a miserable second-half showing meant his critics came out in full force, perhaps fairly so.
The Belgian came for a cross and missed it, which enabled Cisse to nod in to an open net, and then failed to claw out a Colback effort.
All of a sudden the game was 2-2, but we were completely dominating, and Newcastle’s opener was their first effort on target.
Today, Mignolet must take the blame.
