Brad Jones on the criticism he and Simon Mignolet have received - “That’s what TV pundits do, isn’t it? They pick holes in people. “They pick holes in teams and point out things. A lot of time, it can be unjustified. “Football is all about different situations. ‘You could have done this, you could have done that’. “Certain people like to justify their position by jumping on the bandwagon and saying something that gets in the press. It is up to them. That is their job. “I’ve had that kind of stick before and I’ll get it again. I’ve been around long enough. “There is pressure on every player in every position when you are at such a big club. You are expected to win every week and when you don’t you get criticised. “At smaller clubs, you get away with certain things. The magnifying glass isn’t as big, if you like. “But if you are here, you have obviously done something right to be here in the first place. When you are here, it’s up to you to deal with it as best you can.” And on speculation linking Liverpool with a new goalkeeper, Jones continued - “Everyone wants to link other players with us and that is probably not going to change. “If all the speculation was right we would have 40 goalkeepers at the club right now. “It’s something that happens. I don’t read newspapers and I don’t look on the internet too much. You can’t take much notice of it. “I won’t let it affect me. Every game that I play, I will just go out and do my best.”
