Loris Karius

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Good game today. One very good save from the one on one early on.

 

Far too early to tell if he can become a good no 1 for us, but did well today.

[VladimirIlyich]

A young goalkeeper actually improving once he's had time to settle in. Who'd have thought it?

[G Richards]

Keep him away from SpAchterberg!

Has someone hacked the Rev’s account?

[KMD7]

Delighted with him so far since his return.  Hope he keeps it up

[Ranxerox]

Well deserved clean sheet

[lifetime fan]

He’s no world beater, he’s clearly better than simple Simon though.

[KevieG]

His best performance for us. Hope he keeps it going.

In which case, I suspect - as Klopp can tend to do - he will put his faith in him and perhaps not buy a "superior" replacement.

[A_S]

Did Gayle get a free kick for the foul that should've been a pen? Again, if he doesn't think it's a foul, Gayle should be booked for a dive.

[The Golden Eel]

Easily his best performance for us - he's starting to look like a goalkeeper finally. 

[aRdja]

Did well today.

that Matip though.  Sheeesh.

that Matip though. Sheeesh.

Yeah he wasn’t great, but not his worst game.

[Mathewbet1]

better.

[Redder Lurtz]

Decent today, quick decision making, a very good save from Ward Prowse and apart from a dodgy punch, pretty faultless. Hope he keeps this up. Do we get Ol' Smoke Hands back for the CL or will Karius keep his place?

Rumours that Mignolet's wife will get the nod...

[ZonkoVille77]

Don't get the love in. He did the bare minimum expected of a keeper. He's about 25% as good as De Gea based upon nothing but my own made up stats. Still not good enough.

[Paulie Dangerously]

1st half. Make one decent save when he rushed out and closed down a shot, and one good save when he tipped that one over the bar.  A few routine collections of the ball.  Nothing that we shouldn't expect a goalkeeper to do but we're so accustomed to the routine not being done we're impressed.  Still solid 7/10 performance, 

 

2nd half he was about 1ft off the ground trying to catch a set piece and their player put it over, and there were a couple of weakish punches if I recall. 5/10

 

6/10 overall on the Dangerously Performance Meter (DPM)

[Sputnik1]

it is true that we are so used to having that jelly fingered, salmon diving lummox Mignolet in goal that if you hammered a wooden stake into the pitch on the goal line and the ball hit it twice, we'd see that as an improvement. 

[The Golden Eel]

Yeah he didn't do anything out of the ordinary but his general demeanour was much better, he was giving off a different vibe. He looked competent. Still a long way to go but he's looking a better. At the very least, he's made the decision to give him a go look like the right one, and this is coming from someone who disagreed with that decision.

[Hades]

Don't get the love in. He did the bare minimum expected of a keeper. He's about 25% as good as De Gea based upon nothing but my own made up stats. Still not good enough.

The mere fact he comes off his line makes him about 25 times better than Mignolet based on my own highly scientific made up stats.

The good save (tipped over) he made 1st half showed he's got a bit more intelligence too IMO.  He started coming out, saw the flight of the ball meant he wasn't going to get it,  retreated and set himself for a header and made the save.  

 

I think Mig would've gone into full "pear mode" and tried to get an impossible cross, or came out and just stopped hoping he'd narrowed the angle sufficiently.

Karius is really more of a state of mind.
