Loris Karius

[therevivalist]

He looks a lot better than De Hea at least.

[Tony Moanero]

Never heard of the cunt.

[Elite]

Him and Can in the same team? We starting to resemble a boyband.

[Ne Moe Imya]

Melons>pears.

 

Controversial.

 

I like it.

[Chairman Meow]

Hopefully if he signs he'll be an upgrade on Mignolet, then again I would be an upgrade on Mignolet and I'm 35, fat and shit at being a goalkeeper.

 

 

You never know though, he may just be the player to Karius to a title. 

[setreal]

Is there a more punchable face than that Bieber bloke has?

[Baresi]

He's already got a Klopp 'Boom' tattoo.  Love him already. 

[magicrat]

Karius sounds like a Bond villain

One of the really shit ones

Der Spice Boyz?

Yet another promising keeper in safe hands

Somebody on RAWK is suggesting that we are getting Chelsea's goalkeeping coach.

The one that Chelsea just refused to fire despite Conte asking for a replacement?

That would be Mongo now. They said he had a new role

No idea about that. It's in the Karius thread which got locked.

[Arl arse]

No idea about that. It's in the Karius thread which got locked.

RAWK still a bastion of free speech I see.

[VladimirIlyich]

A big upgrade on Mignolet but may need time to bed in.

Willkommen Herr Karius.

A new goalkeeper coach is essential. If we are looking at the Chelsea fella, then whether that particular deal works out or not shows me that the club knows a change is needed. Achterberg has a history at Liverpool of goalkeepers not really growing and improving. In fact, you could argue that they regress. Compare and contrast to the improvement we are seeing in a lot of the outfield players under Klopp. The same sort of thing is needed for the goalie, and I'm afraid Achterberg is not the man to deliver it.

 

No hard feelings. Pay up his contract or shuffle him elsewhere, but first team goalkeeping coach needs an upgrade. I'm sure Klopp has had plenty of time to assess it all and we will start to see real progress this summer, both in terms of the playing staff and the team behind the team, with the two recent appointments from Bayern Munich being a good start.

...Achterberg has a history at Liverpool of goalkeepers not really growing and improving. In fact, you could argue that they regress...

 

That is exactly the issue I have with Achterberg. As you say, the evidence suggests that our goalkeepers do not improve on their strengths or their weaknesses and in a lot of cases, they seem to be going backwards. What was once deemed to be a strength is now just average and the weaknesses are still there to glaring effect.

[Josef Svejk]

Achterberg destroyed Bogdan, the most promising red-headed Hungarian goalkeeper we've ever had.

 

Sack him.

[magicrat]

Karius may indeed turn out to be good , None of us have any real idea .

I'm assuming he will be back up to Mig which for me doesn't solve anything as imo we need a top class replacement, After tomorrow night I was hoping not to have to see Mignolet in goal for us gain  . My dreams are crushed.

[Frankenhooker]

Karius may start off as our number two, but he won't be sat on the bench for long. Personally I think, if signed, he'll start between the sticks next season.

[Hand Shandy]

He played in every league game for Mainz this season, where they finished sixth.

 

Why do you assume he's going to be back up?

[Ne Moe Imya]

Stupidity? Rank pessimism?

 

If he comes, he's definitely going to be the starter.  No question.

[Dr Nowt]

I reckon the intention is for Mignolet's 5 year contract to bridge the gap of a new keeper finding his feet in England, while Ward gets enough game time and experience in someone else's first team to be our medium-term back-up.

 

Next season would be about Karius, for example, starting as deputy while waiting for Mignolet to open the door with an error, coming on before half time in the opening game, then establishing himself in English football with a Premier League experienced deputy ready any time he's not available or has a wobble himself.

 

As poor as Mignolet is, he's better than what we've had as reserve in recent years, and Klopp seems to not want to go down the spending cash (including agent fees) to bring in more unproven squad players route, which makes a refreshing change whatever Simple Simon's numerous limitations.

 

I'm sure the aim is for him to be off next summer or in 2018, with a more developed Ward taking his squad place.
