Liverpool keeper Mignolet dismisses playing pressure

Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet insists he doesn't feel pressure to keep his place.

The Belgian is quick to pounce on suggestions he is feeling the pressure.

"What is pressure? Pressure is what is happening in Iraq at the moment where there is a war. That is pressure," says Mignolet.

"If I have to look into all the people and players who are linked with Liverpool football club then there will be another team on the pitch. Every week there would be a different 11 playing.

"So it is just the fact that you play for a big club and you have to accept that is the way it is, but I don't read anything into that.

"I can only work hard in training, be positive and make sure I play well at the weekend.

"If someone says you can improve on this or that I will always listen to that and make sure i can improve."
