Simon Mignolet says Liverpool's Capital One Cup tie at Stoke comes at a good time
Monday 4 January 2016 11:16, UK
Simon Mignolet says Liverpool can quickly make amends for Saturday's poor show at West Ham when they face Stoke in the Capital One Cup.
The Reds were second best at the Boleyn Ground throughout the 2-0 defeat in which their former striker Andy Carroll scored after Michail Antonio had given West Ham the lead.

Having missed the chance to move up to sixth place in the Premier League this weekend, Liverpool can now turn their focus on the League Cup.
And Liverpool travel to the Britannia Stadium to play Stoke in the semi-final first-leg of the competition on Tuesday, which will take place in front of the Sky Sports cameras.
The Reds have been struggling to pull together a string of results on their travels, having won just one of their last five away fixtures in all competitions.
But Mignolet is hoping the display against the Hammers will act as a rallying call for the Liverpool squad.
"We've got a new game coming up very early, the semi-final, so hopefully we can put things straight there because it's very important. Hopefully we can do well against Stoke," Mignolet said.
"Any game we play we want to win. We focus on the next game in hand. We're featuring in all competitions and that's a positive thing.
"We can do well in all of the cup competitions we're featuring in. We'll try to do our best in the next game - that's Stoke so we'll focus on that."
