Liverpool Champions League winner Jerzy Dudek feels Simon Mignolet can have a future at Anfield.

Mignolet proved his worth in the Reds' League Cup semi-final win over Stoke, saving two penalties in the decisive penalty shootout.

"He is a good goalkeeper," Dudek said. "He will get better too. He is 27 now, which is younger than me when I signed for Liverpool, he is just getting to the best years for a keeper.

"He's good with his feet and he is good on the line.

"He has had some problems with high balls – crosses – but a lot of keepers have the same problem in England.

"I think he needs someone in front of him, someone like Jamie Carragher or Sami Hyypia, someone who can organise and lead the defence."
