Ed091 have you got any thoughts on Karius and whether you see him as having all the necessary qualities to be a top class keeper?

{Ed091's Note - he has confidence. When you have that, with hard work, there's no cap on how good he could become.
I do advise fans to not jump on him if he makes errors early on, the pl is a hard place to play, think de geas and courtois shaky start, even England's number one makes some errors. Need to back him

Well said Ed. He's a brave lad and makes decisions.

to come 2nd behind the Bayern keeper is no mean effort so the lad has something, if we as fans get behind him i think he could be a very good gk, but a lot will depend on the gk coach moving on, mingolet has not improved in his weak areas of his game so for me the coach is not that good, a good coach would have made mingolet a better keeper in all his weak areas but he has not as we all know,

A goal keeper can be as good as the defense in front of them. Sure they may be able to make great saves, but if they're under constant pressure and forced into awkward positions or being forced to make a large number of shots, they're inevitably going to have some mistakes or miss a few. This can hurt confidence and increase errors. A perpetual cycle. I fear mignolet has taken a lot of unjust abuse. Look at the defense he's had in front of him. skrtel, Moreno, lovren (till December this year) Enrique. And he's managed to have a large number of clean sheets. Point is, sure mignolet wasn't perfect, but who could be under those circumstances? We have to sort out our defense.

Gutted about that Kova. What's happening to Kasper then?

I think we got the better of the two. Karius played a huge part in Mainz success this year.

Zieler is better suited to the premier league. Karius is probably better suited to Germany than Zieler, but Zieler won't need to adapt his game as much as Karius will.

You have to admire Leicester's recruitment of players.
I'm guessing Zieler's release clause had something to do with Champions League teams, so a bit of a shame we didn't get over the line in Basel. Nevermind, hopefully Karius doesn't take too long to settle in.
