Retiring Liverpool custodian Alex Manninger believes that both Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius are high-quality goalkeepers and they have proved their worth time and again this year.
The 39-year-old, who is about to hang up his boots at the end of June after of a two decade-long career, has helped both Mignolet and Karius with his experience this term.
While giving his opinion on the duo, the former Juventus man said that the season overall has gone well for them, with very few mistakes and match-winning displays.
In spite of being in and out of the team, the duo haven't shown slightest bit of disappointment and have gone on giving 100 per cent in every match, Manninger says.
"Simon and Loris are high-quality goalkeepers. They’ve shown that this year. Sometimes in football, it can be unfortunate how things happen – you can be in and out, but that’s our job", Manninger said in an interview with his club's official website.

"Simon, overall, had a fantastic season and did well, match-winning saves and keeping us in tight games.
"And so did Loris; if you look at some of the cup competitions, he kept us in them a few times.
"He is a promising, promising goalkeeper.
"He has so much within himself that he hasn’t delivered yet and he will be back for sure.
"Overall, Simon made very few mistakes and that shows a good goalkeeper – I can’t remember more than two or three, maybe.
"He had a very steady season, was very good and is a good professional.
"It’s nice that someone is rewarded when they work as hard as Simon does."
Manninger is retiring from football this summer after joining Liverpool to provide extra backup last summer, winding down a lengthy career at the top level.
