Liverpool keeper Mignolet: I ignore critics

Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet insists he can handle the criticism coming his way.

The Belgium international came under even more scrutiny after an error in the midweek Champions League tie but responded with only his third clean sheet in 25 appearances in the scrappy 1-0 win over Stoke City.

"I deal with a good performance the same as a poor performance - you have to accept it and move on," he said after Liverpool ended a three-match losing run in the league.

"What I did after the (Ludogorets) game was look forward to the next game and that is what I will do again today.

"It is always pleasing as a goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet but the most important thing is to get back to winning ways and hopefully we can build a bit of momentum now.

"If you play at home you want to win games and we did the job and that is all that counts.

"There is another game on Tuesday (against bottom side Leicester) and we will look forward to that one."
