All week to prepare for a massive test Simon Mignolet reflected on Sundays 1-1 draw against West Bromwich Albion with a mixture of frustration and defiance after watching Liverpool let a lead slip at the Hawthorns. Luis Suarezs sheer ingenuity when hemmed in from all angles inside the penalty area allowed Daniel Sturridge to hand the Reds a platform in the match after 24 minutes of play. But, in the 67th minute, former Everton man Victor Anichebe seized upon a stray pass from Kolo Toure, after Mignolet rolled him the ball, and tucked a shot into the bottom corner of the Belgians net for 1-1. Afterwards, the stopper felt the point could yet prove to be a positive one - and insisted that the focus will now turn to the visit of Arsenal, for which his side has ample time to prepare. If you play away from home in the Premier League, there are no easy games, Mignolet told Liverpoolfc. I think we dominated in the first half. Deservedly, we made it 1-0 and we created some chances. But when you came away from home, you know youre going to be under pressure. Unfortunately we conceded at the end and so we have to move on with a point. A point in the Premier League is never a bad point. Weve got a massive game [against Arsenal] at the weekend and we have a whole week to prepare ourselves for that game and well turn our focus to that. The draw meant Liverpool failed to fully capitalise on a weekend where both Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, potential top-four challengers, dropped points.
