As Liverpool look set to reach an agreement with Sunderland over the transfer of goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, Pepe Reina’s future on Merseyside looks increasingly bleak.

The most interesting stat here is perhaps Mignolet’s low pass completion rate – but this perhaps could be attributed to the tactics his manger, Martin O’Neill for the majority of the season, employed. 11 clean sheets in a team fighting relegation is impressive.
Reina made six errors resulting in goals, while Mignolet made two, both occasions leading to goals conceded.
