Brad Jones slams Gary Neville over Simon Mignolet criticism

Brad Jones has claimed that Gary Neville has no right to criticise fellow Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet.

The Sky Sports pundit and former Manchester United right-back offered a damning analysis of the Belgian's performance in the Reds' 1-1 draw with Everton last month.

"I've never seen Gary Neville play in goal but he seemed to have a good opinion of it," Jones told the Liverpool Echo.

"Everyone has an opinion. What we work on in training is very match-specific and match-related. It's just one of those things and there are too many opinions knocking about nowadays."

Mignolet's long-term future as Liverpool's number one is reportedly in doubt as manager Brendan Rodgers is said to be keen on signing free agent Victor Valdes.

Twenty-six-year-old Mignolet has registered just one clean sheet from 10 games this season.
