I had to drop Simon Mignolet - Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers stands by decision Left out: Mignolet dropped to the bench for Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has said he had to drop Simon Mignolet ahead of the trip to Old Trafford. The Belgium international had played every minute of Liverpools Premier League campaign before the 3-0 defeat to Manchester United, but Rodgers opted to bench the 26-year-old in favour of Brad Jones. Mignolet has struggled in goal for the Reds this term, making a notable error away at Ludogorets in the Champions League before he scored an own goal for Leicester in the league. And Rodgers recognised the time was right to drop Mignolet to the bench on Sunday, claiming he felt there wasnt another choice. Manchester United v Liverpool - player ratings Simon has been fine. He is a very good professional and he understood it [the decision], said Rodgers. Brad has not had not much to do apart from pick the ball out of the net, but I felt I had to make the decision. Jones had little luck in the Liverpool goal as the Reds succumbed to defeat and Louis van Gaals side extended the winning streak to six.
