Welcome Loris Karius

[Kid Klopp]

The one constant in all of this time has been the goalkeeping coach. Achteburg? Surely it's time to replace him.

 

an intriguing theory. perhaps we can explore the matter further.

[Walrus]

Someone should draw a picture about this.

 

The LFC goalkeeping cycle

 

1) this lad in goal could be good you know

2) doesn’t look great but give him time

3) the f*** is he doing? Never seen a worse keeper in my life

4) replace with the number two (or number one in some of the latter rounds of the circle)

5) move back to bullet 1 and repeat ad infinitum

 

The one who isn’t playing always looks better to the viewing public. A bit like your opposition leaders if you like.

[Conrad]

I think Karius may actually be truly terrible.

He doesn't have enough to do to fully substantiate that theory

[Foo]

He goes for the ball and stops halfway and goes ballwatching, the worst thing a keeper can do. Either go for it 100% or don't at all.

Never feel like Mignolet or Karius have much presence in the box. You need that quality at a big club - not enough to just be a good shot stopper.

 

Compare that to Reina, even when he lost form he was always a presence.

What like Pickford?

[Leo No.8]

Just can’t see it with Karius. He doesn’t look very athletic to me which is a bit of a drawback with a goalkeeper.

 

He’s ponderous in his movements.

I know what you mean. He shows tantalising glimpses of awfulness.

[muleskinner]

He's a f***ing dimbo. Get rid of him and pan head.

Been going on since Reina left. Pepe was on the decline then. Whether that was due to lost of motivation or bad coaching, who knows.

[Hassony]

He was awful for our winner

[Rory Fitzgerald]

2014/15

Mignolet 

Jones 

Mignolet

 

2015/16

Klopp in, Rodgers out

 

Mignolet

Bogdan

2016/17

Karius breaks hand in preseason

 

Mignolet

Karius - plays 10 games straight

Mignolet

 

2016/17

Mignolet - league

Karius - champions league, odd game in league and domestic cups

 

Its just incredibly frustrating

[Leo No.8]

I think Hodgson’s 80 year old goalkeeping coach Mike Kelly probably made Reina want to retire.

 

Pepe developed a real weakness at his near post in his latter time with us, but at his peak under Rafa he was the best keeper we’ve had for many, many years.

[Hassony]

Karius has played 11 games so far this season, we've won 8 of them and drawn 3 (

 

And the only goal that you can blame him for is the spartak Moscow goal, and that was because of his wall positioning rather than.

I'm with you on this. The Karius hate is all a bit odd at this point.

[DazzlaJ]

Didnt think he done much wrong myself.

I've said this before but I'll repeat it because it was probably a long time ago.

 

Liverpool beat Newcaste 2-1 at home in early 2000 with a late Redknapp winner. But Shearer scored an equaliser in the 2nd half and Westerveld claimed it was a greater header and he had no chance.

 

After the 4-3 game at Leeds, Westerveld gave an interview with a written paper (not sure who), but he said - along the lines of - the goals were high quality so I was not at fault. 

 

Those statements irked me and when we got Dudek he was breath of fresh air, he was one of the players of the season in his first year. Some of his saves were worthy of gasps.

 

I want one of those keepers, not someone that can say "Not me boss"

 

Not fault, but stand-out.

He's a liner and far too slow to react.

[Florist Cinema Pond Goal]

Think a better keeper gets his feet right for their goal but maybe I’m being harsh

Dudek made many mistakes. Istanbul made him a better keeper than he really was to us due to his heroics. He also played well in the cup final v UTD but he cost us many points.

[Boca]

Dudek had a couple of bowlers against the mancs as well.

 

Was it Westerveld who blamed a goal against Middlesbrough on the “ice on the ball”?

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Dudek made many mistakes. Istanbul made him a better keeper than he really was to us due to his heroics. He also played well in the cup final v UTD but he cost us many points.

 

Dudek's double save & penno saved him. He made some shockers in the game too - the one where Traroe cleared off the line?

[Angry Carroll]

Agreed. He has a clear view of that run. Knows where the space is and is still glued.

 

Prefer him to Mignolet anyway. A lot more composed and don't spend half the match screaming OUT wether its a good idea or not. 

 

Give him his chance. Bin Mignolet as soon as we've signed a better keeper than both of them. Karius is young. I'd like to have a second keeper as good as him. 

[DazzlaJ]

And if it goes in the other corner he would still be rooted

[Angry Carroll]

Yes. Absolutely.

 

As he has been on too many near misses it seemed he had very little control of for my liking.
