James: Liverpool in privileged position with goalkeepers

Liverpool are privileged to have two “top drawer” goalkeepers in their ranks, according to former Reds No.1 David James.

Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius have both had spells in the Liverpool starting XI this season, with the former starting out as the first choice shot-stopper before being dropped.

Karius’ involvement in a 4-3 loss to Bournemouth and a 2-2 draw with West Ham has seen Mignolet restored to the first-team and he has responded by keeping three clean sheets in five games, including against Manchester City.

James, who spent seven years at Liverpool and was a regular in the England team, believes both goalkeepers are at a high level and that they are often the subject of unfair criticism.
