Liverpool boss Rodgers delighted with Mignolet return to form

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has hailed the form revival of Simon Mignolet.

The Reds meet Newcastle United tonight.

Rodgers said: "Simon's always been an outstanding 'keeper but like all players he went through a difficult moment.

"His response to that has been outstanding. He's stayed very calm.

"He's stuck to his game and analysed his game and I think you can see his performance level now is back up to the level that he would want and what we would want. He's been outstanding.

"He made two great saves against Blackburn the other night. That's a big strength of his - he's a brilliant shot-stopper.

"He's shown in this last three months what a really good 'keeper he is.

"It's just continual work with him on domination. What we say to the outfield players is the same with the goalkeeper - be dominant."
