Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers tells Simon Mignolet to 'let error go'

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has told goalkeeper Simon Mignolet to forget his recent troubles in front of goal and focus on getting a clean sheet this weekend.

The Belgium international fumbled a shot from Marcelinho to allow Dani Abalo to latch onto the ball to score the opening goal for Ludogorets Razgrad in Wednesday's 2-2 draw in the Champions League.

Mignolet has come under scrutiny this season for his below-par performances, but it appears that Rodgers is willing to stand by the 26-year-old keeper.

"As a goalkeeper you have to be able to let these things go," Rodgers told The Guardian. "The goal was a massive setback for the team but we need to keep his confidence as high as we can. We have to look to the weekend and keep a clean sheet."

The Reds will take on Stoke City at Anfield on Saturday.
