Liverpool keeper remaining grounded despite improved performances

Liverpool keeper Simon Mignolet is not getting carried away with his recent performances after being dropped before Christmas for some indifferent games. The Belgium international has conceded just one goal - Eden Hazard's penalty in Tuesday's 1-1 Capital One Cup semi-final first leg - in three matches.

"I spoke to the gaffer about what I needed to work on during my time out of the team," he said.

"I've just tried to keep my head down and work hard in training.

I won't get carried away with one good performance. I have to keep doing my job every single week in, week out.

"That is my job. I don't have to get carried away with these kind of things - I just have to keep doing it.

"There are lot of big games coming up with a lot to play for and we all want to do well."
