Now I've only been a Liverpool supporter for 40 years but the Liverpool fans are famous for their knowledge of the game and support of their team.
Karius is a youg goalkeeper adapting to a new country and new league after a broken hand too. He's made errors like all worldclass keepers have on their careers upwards.
He needs our support not criticism goalkeepers much like strikers thrive on confidence. Show some class on this forum let's back the man.

Agreed.
Can't believe some posters wanting migs back, Karius is clearly suffering from a lack of form/ confidence and isn't settled, but still looks better than migs.

The live chat is really irritating at times and today was awful. Some people are completely clueless especially re Karius.

Usual suspects in the live chat calling team spineless etc, finding it more and more embarrassing to see the stuff our so called supporters are spouting when things get tough.

I agree with the above, it's too early to judge Karius but there's no doubt the lad has a problem or two. Today his positioning for the free kick was poor which is a fundamental error and why on earth he didn't challenge for the second goal I will never know.
Wouldn't mind offering Migs plus 10 million for Pickford in January.

{Ed001's Note - did you watch Pickford last season and early this? He had butterfingers, yet now he is suddenly the messiah? Give Karius time and revisit it in the summer.}

spot on, boys. The live chat may be awful but what ulcers me is the pathetic pundits like Carra and Redknapp saying Karius should be dropped and say, "Well, it may kill his confidence but right now, he`s killing the team". I know hey want us to win the PL desperately BUT that is utter nonsense and stupid doublespeak. Which is it?

As for Pinkford? I guess he`s now the new flavour of the month. And who will it be next? And when the GK comes in and is finding it hard to settle in initially, as Karius is then what do you do? Bring him back after his confidence is shot? Or go for Manninger? See the senselessness in all that?

Karius stays in and no matter how much lobbying Mig`s apologists plead his case like those with short term amnesia, he`s a failure and will not suddenly become great because if he was, he wouldn`t have been replaced.

Karius has to be taken out the lime light for his own good. This is not helping him, we need a keeper for now and not 2 yrs down the line. it was harsh that mignolet was dropped in the first place. give the lad some time to get his head together, he's a big boy and I'm sure will understand. if this was lovren or some other outfield player making mistakes like him then there would be calls for him to be dropped in a heart beat. just because he's a keeper shouldn't be any different. I don't dislike the lad but he doesn't warrant a place in the first team at the moment.

We should stick to Karius even if it means no UCL football next season.

Everyone talks about 'giving players time' but we have been doing that for years and how far has that got us? If someone has an opinion that a player isn't that great then apparently they are clueless but i'm sure the same people wanted to wait on Carrol and Balotelli and all these other players who turned out to be nobodies. unfortunately hope doesn't win football matches and allowing crap players to keep playing doesn't make them or the team better. if we keep being a club that develops players and doesn't ever have players that are fully developed when will we achieve anything? How many players that were crap at 23 turn out to be world class? (And i'm not talking about players who perform but don't get the pundits approval like Suarez for example) i'm sure 90% of people here claimed Lovren would come good and we are still waiting. I think Migs would look world class in our current team as he is actually an excellent shot stopper but terrible at claiming crosses and commanding his area but we don't seem to concede as many corners or crosses with Clyne and Milner blocking most attempts. again Klopp didn't make any in game tactical changes to try and win the match. i'm really not sure what his role is on matchday or outside of Melwood. great coach poor manager.

Hes saying he's making the defence shaky and other bollocks. Hardly a shaky defence today, what 3 chances was it hardly blame karius for matips misjudgment! Really laughable tbh. Its not even one we can revisit like an ed002 comment where we go oh rubbish how right.

Carra started last week and now he can't be seen to let it go is all. He didn't believe half the stuff he was banging on about today. You could see him trying to make himself believe.

Goes his confidence is shot and then contiues to barrade him. He knows clesrly karius is listened to what there saying aswel going by karius comments this past week.

Should come out hold his hands up and say i'm not going to make abother comment on his till the end of the season.

Pickford's not the Messiah, Ilori is 😇.
However, Pickford's stock is on the rise.
I'm more disturbed by today's errors than last week. Last week was a fumble, that happens. Today he was hopelessly out of position on the free kick and seemingly catatonic for the second goal. It was a Mignoletesque performance.
I don't know what the answer is, I don't think it's Mignolet, but Karius is worrying me.

I'm all for giving players time to settle in, to get used to the pace and the physicality of the premier league, but Karius is no stranger to English football.
Will errors like the free kick get better with time? I'm not so sure. That's a basic mistake, nothing to do with confidence or English conditions.

{Ed001's Note - how is no stranger? He has not even played ten competitive games yet. The mistake, imo, is not playing him in the cup to get him settled quicker.}

Well he's no stranger to England as he was at City before going back to Germany.
He's new to premier league football, granted, but there are no external cultural factors that are new.
