He will be big money now. Wonder if Herr Klopp will try and find his own gem.That's the chatter.
Think Sakho could have been good with Matip.

I think Mignolet would have saved a few of those shots on Sunday. Probably would have had a rick too boot but we would have won.I don't know if dropping Karius is good for him. It might ruin his belief and young keepers need time to develop.
That being said, you're right that Karius has been awful so far. Apart from his distribution, I don't really see where he's a step up from Mignolet.
Don't know his percentages but to me Klarius doesn't even stretch for the ball on two of those goals. Feel he's a bit "rabbit in the headlights" atm.when did mignolet become a keeper who saves shots?
His save percentage was the worst in the league of any first choice keeper last season.
You guys could and should have signed Timo Horn, but chose Karius.when did mignolet become a keeper who saves shots?

Karius did make a few decent saves though that for the ones Karius let in that Mignolet may have held on to he may have also let in the ones Karius saved.Don't know his percentages but to me Klarius doesn't even stretch for the ball on two of those goals.

I'm sticking with him but I'm worried about him. He needs to improve quickly now.
I'm a big fan of Horn as well. Although I do sometimes question how much he benefits from how good Koln's defensive system is.You guys could and should have signed Timo Horn, but chose Karius.
Timo Horn is calm, assured and no nonsense and that's the kind of keeper Liverpool needed IMO.
Pretty much the same was said about Karius at Mainz last season. Karius and Horn were equally impressive in the last Bundesliga season and amongst the league´s top keeper. They are differences between them of course (Karius has better distribution but is a bit weaker in the air than Horn for example) but nearly no frequent Bundesliga follower would doubt their overall quality.You guys could and should have signed Timo Horn, but chose Karius.

It's very true that De Gea was pretty awful in his first season or so - it's impossible to judge young keepers early on. If Klopp sticks with him you have to assume he's got something good, but hopefully he doesn't show it for a few more months!Premium level keeper like Neuer or De Gea did not have super convincing starts at their clubs either.
“When I took over as coach I went to see him in Gelsenkirchen and ask him to return to the team,” Broos told Belgium’s Voetbal Magazine.
“But he said to me ‘nothing is organised properly in Cameroon’.
“I asked him to give me a chance to prove that we could do it better but he was not convinced.
“But in the meantime I’ve heard that he is now prepared to make a comeback and so I am going to go and see him again.”
The Cameroon manager is trying to get him to play. I really hope he says no because we'll need him in January. I've also heard that we're not interested in Van Dijk either which is disappointing if true. Klopp is apparently keen to get Gomez back into the set up.Hearing from a Pool mate of mine at work that apparently Matip might be going to AFCON now. This true?

We can't go into January with three competitions to play in and Lovren/Lucas as our first choice CB's, so I'll assume that we're signing a defender in January or that there is a plan to bring Gomez in.Fingers crossed Matip gets convinced to go and Van Dijk isn't signed either
Return of the Sakho?We can't go into January with three competitions to play in and Lovren/Lucas as our first choice CB's, so I'll assume that we're signing a defender in January or that there is a plan to bring Gomez in.
I don't think that's happening considering what's been said recently (about Sakho having no future at the club), but then I didn't think I'd see Schweinsteiger in a United shirt again. Never say never and all that.Return of the Sakho?
Klopp made it very clear at his press conference before last that Sakho would be sold ASAP, in January if at all possible I'm sure. 0% chance of any return to the squad. He doesn't even train with them.Return of the Sakho?
Klopp should be put in jail for that.Klopp made it very clear at his press conference before last that Sakho would be sold ASAP, in January if at all possible I'm sure. 0% chance of any return to the squad. He doesn't even train with them.
Should Mourinho ? What is worse ? Punishing and deciding a player who was disregarding club regulations and disrespecting the manager on camera should be kept apart from the squad, to avoid disruption, until sold, or punishing a player for ... who knows what Schweinsteiger did, do we even know ?Klopp should be put in jail for that.
So.. You don't want to hear from a Liverpool fan again, that keeping Schweinsteiger out of your squad is bad managing?Klopp should be put in jail for that.
No. Neither should Klopp.Should Mourinho ?
Probably what Sakho done, I have no idea what that is, mind, though what you say next sounds a pretty bad.What is worse ?,
Yes, he done nothing beyond being unpopular in the locker room for getting special treatment from LvG. Pure power move on Mourinho's part.who knows what Schweinsteiger did, do we even know ?
I agree. An upgrade on left back is not necessary for now. Milner is doing a great job there.Milner qualitywise is a longterm solution. Only downside is that he doesn't have that many years in him.
Lovren, basically.I agree. An upgrade on left back is not necessary for now. Milner is doing a great job there.
A CB with quality to challenge Matip and Lovren should be first priority in january.
Did an opposition coach do that to Karius? I don't think Howe said anything, did he?Yeah, pretty unusual for an opposition coach to single out a player after the game and say they're a weakness. "We know they like to play it out from the back, so we wanted to press high to force mistakes" is fine. "Their keeper's shite", not so cool.
He didn't, it was Cook who said it was one of their tactics to make sure they put pressure on him.Did an opposition coach do that to Karius? I don't think Howe said anything, did he?
That's a bit of an over-reaction from Klopp then if he is referring to what Cook said.He didn't, it was Cook who said it was one of their tactics to make sure they put pressure on him.
It's really moaning about nothing, perhaps just trying to distract attention away from Karius.That's a bit of an over-reaction from Klopp then if he is referring to what Cook said.
Cook was asked if they targeted the goalie and said "I’ve got to be honest, we did. We felt he was under a lot of pressure – obviously, playing for Liverpool you’ve got to be a very strong character. We did target him, we tried to pressure him and get as many shots at him as possible".
If that's "one of the worst things I've ever heard in my life", he's had a pretty sheltered life!
Is the right answer.It's really moaning about nothing, perhaps just trying to distract attention away from Karius.
You might want to send him going off todayThis is a relief considering how poor our other options are.

When he joined them he was supposed to be the best young keeper in the world according to themKarius looks just as bad as Mignolet ever did.
It's all part of the boom bust cycle. The summer is usually when their squad is man for man the best in the league.When he joined them he was supposed to be the best young keeper in the world according to them
Nah, one bad moment doesn't erase what's been a very solid start to Matip's Liverpool career.You might want to send him going off today
