GK Simon Mignolet 

Dead and gone are the dreams that Loris Karius’ beautiful face will be in the net for Liverpool thanks to Dejan Lovren’s face shattering his hand against Chelsea. Super unlucky.

Now, we’re subjected to Mignolet. Again. Somehow. Unbelievably and unfortunately.

Mignolet has been gifted the chance to swipe back the card of starting keeper for Liverpool due to this injury. The thought of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez and Neymar gunning down towards Mignolet. Sheesh. Not great.

Well, that’s our reality for now.
