The Reds’ defence has come in for even more criticism in recent times with our loss against Tottenham easily the worst display from it so far this year.

Of course, we conceded more against Manchester City but that was with 10 men and the four we shipped against Spurs were all available with individual errors the cause.

Simon Mignolet and Dejan Lovren have come in for the most criticism since yesterday, then, but it seems as though Mignolet might deserve a bit more credit than he has got this year.

Indeed, thanks to Data courtesy of EA SPORTS, Mignolet has saved a higher percentage of shots than any other keeper in the Premier League this season, with a record of 28.2%.

That puts him ahead of anyone else in the division and so, maybe, it is the actual defenders who need to raise their game – more than the Belgian.

Thoughts, Reds? Let us know below!
