Valdes in Liverpool contact as Rodgers warns "laid back" Mignolet

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has fired a warning at "laid back" Simon Mignolet. The An?eld club are continuing to monitor former Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes' fitness as the Spaniard, 32, recovers from a knee injury.

Should he make a healthy return, Liverpool are expected to offer him a contract next month.

That leaves Mignolet under pressure as his boss called for more fight.

Rodgers said: "I think Simon is a bit laid back. The key thing is to make sure you are on the front foot and aggressive."
