Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet admits to inquiry with defenders on trip back from Arsenal
Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet admits he and his defenders were so keen to sort out their problems at the back they began the inquiry on the journey home from Arsenal.
The Reds were ripped apart in the first half at the Emirates and went in 3-0 down, eventually losing 4-1 to slip to a second successive defeat.
Manager Brendan Rodgers had to deny claims a crisis meeting had been held in the aftermath but Mignolet said some of the players had taken it upon themselves to try to sort out their shortcomings while travelling back from London.
"You always look for certain things you can do better and what went wrong," he told liverpoolfc.com ahead of a crucial FA Cup quarter-final replay at Championship side Blackburn.
"I always speak to the defence and on the way back from Arsenal we talked through a couple of things.
"You always try to take the positives and negatives out of the game. I'm my own biggest critic and you analyse your games in a critical way together with the goalkeeping coach.
"You see afterwards what you could have done better.
"The good thing is that if there is a game coming so close afterwards, you can go into that game looking forward to making sure that you put things right.
"It's a massive game against Blackburn, we knew that beforehand. It's not going to be easy and it's going to be a totally different game to the one away at Arsenal.
"It will be tough, but we want to get through to the next round and put in a performance to make sure that we play in the semi-final at Wembley."
