Ed's, do you know if Coutinho staying until the summer is a possibility? And the £145m fee is apparently £100m up front, the rest in add ons. Will we find out what the add ons are, how realistic will they be?

{Ed002's Note - He has gone.}

First time poster, long time observer.

Is there any news on a new goalkeeper? Seems madness that Klopp has spent the best part of £300m and we still have Mignolet between the sticks!
Loving how we are playing this season so far but will never challenge over the course with an average goalkeeper.
Keep up the good work Eds.

{Ed002's Note - Karius a Klopp buy is in goal not Mignolet. Liverpool has four first team goalkeepers - if a couple leave in the summer they will look to add.}

Karius had a decent game today. Couldn’t do anything about their goal.

Karius was more decisive and more authoritative off his line in this game under pressure than Migs has been all season. Very solid game from him today and stood up to the aerial bombardment from LC as well.

He wasn’t very decisive when Lovren had to bail him out in the last 10 minutes. Had that “lost rabbit in the headlights” look last seen when we played West Ham at Anfield last season.

He seemed to panic the last 10 minutes. He completely misjudged the flight of the ball and punched Klavan in the head and his kicking was wayward and could of caused problems. Hopefully that was just ring rust though and he kicks on from here.

I’m hoping Karius gets the rest of the season to form an understanding with the players including Van Dijk, he brings more stability at the back than Mignolet for me. Still think he has a future with us, and given a chance will prove himself.

We are working the full back positions well, and all four of Alexander-Arnold, Robertson, Moreno and Gomez and all of them are gaining vital experience. I feel more confident with Karius playing than Mignolet. Great we have Van Dijk too things finally looking up in the defensive area for us.

Would be excellent if we could get Koulibaly in the summer as he would form a excellent partnership with Van Dijk but doubt it will happen. I’d be happy with one of Akanji, De Vrij or Gimenez though.

I disagree, Ron and Scootinio. The whole defence was in panic mode as a whole. Karius came out when he needed to and did not come out when he did not need to as Lovren and his defenders had things under control. Why come out when you see that your defenders are going to clear it or when you see that the ball is well out of your 6? To prove a point to fan a or b? He also punched Maguire's low cross into Milner's feet who cleared it like he should have.

Karius came out as he was supposed to to punch the ball out and Klavan got there first and as a GK, you are told to clean everything out (ball and/ or man) and he did exactly what he needed to do as he was in position to clear it already had Klavan not been there. The ball hung up in the air for ages it seemed so that may have been a factor BUT was in position to clear it, regardless. All in all, he made no mistakes and the goal was not his fault which in the end, is what matters, IMO.

BRover it wasn't a criticism of Karius. I still believe he misjudged the flight of the ball but that'll happen when rusty. I hope he's given a proper run to gain confidence. Only then will we see what he's made of. He seems much sharper and reacts much quicker than Migs and if given time I think he could be great.
