Loris Karius

[INTORRESTING]

He was way better but he should have caught it but continental keepers often don't!

[Ranxerox]

There was nothing around him - surely he should be absolutely aware of that and then be able to punch the ball further than about 7-10 yards before it bounces.

It is an easy catch under no pressure at all.

Agree wit this.

[Pureblood]

Difficult to punch a ball in the air when it is coming across flat & two foot off the ground , and the pen was straight at him but was only saved as he ( and the coach ) decided the best tactic was to stay put which is very unusual.

 

Go Achterberg!

Im surprised no-one is criticizing Robertson for the first goal. All he has to do is block the shot, he's already there.

 

Instead he turns his arse on it. Really, really poor defending.

Personally I think it's all your fault for starting the match thread when not being on a winning run.

 

Who is going to start the next one?

Where on Twitter are you seeing this?

No agenda? Are you mad? It’s blatantly obvious. They had fuck all to pick on the entire game so decided to use a moment when he was elbowed in the face to push the idea that he’s dodgy and unconvincing, then went in with both barrels blaming him for Wanyama’s blooter. Neville, in particular, is so far entrenched in his opinion that he really comes across as a total fucking blinkered fool (not that it’s any challenge for him). Just one of the many, many deeply irritating things about yesterday’s game.

I meant current agenda by a few fans on here, not the media has an whole because they have a MASSIVE agenda.

Quite ironic that he can't even save his own job.

He's not famous any more.

Not particularly.  

[Pureblood]

El Rojo predicted this a while back.

[G Richards]

Achterberg’s survival has been one of the most puzzling aspects of Klopp’s tenure. Jurgen has put his own team together. Fitness, nutrition, coaching, mini me, the lot. Yet a goalkeeping coach who has a track record of making every goalkeeper he works with a worse player has somehow managed to hang on?

 

Needs sorting out.

[ZonkoVille77]

Achterberg is my favourite non first-team player at the club and I'm fucking this club off if they get rid of him.

Any suggestion to do so is pure folly and up there with the actions of the Khmer Rouge.

[dockers_strike]

Achterberg has all the UEFA coaching certificates going. Just proves scraps of paper does not mean someone is any good.

He cant polish turds , That said we need a clean sweep in the keeper department

[BCM]

The rumour may have come because apparently we have a german GK coach who is being used as a consultant

Oh, well done, sir.

Don't tease us, Anubis.  We need this to be true.

I read the new bloke was getting taken on as head of goalkeeping

[Numero Veinticinco]

It’s not like Germany has had any quality goalkeeper down the years.

Loris Karius insists he is his own biggest critic after responding to suggestions he is too error-prone to become Liverpool’s long-term No 1.

 

The German keeper has emerged from Simon Mignolet’s shadows in recent weeks to become the club’s new first-choice keeper – and the former Mainz man has issued this plea to Jurgen Klopp amid talk the Reds could sign a new big-money keeper this summer.

 

Since his status as Liverpool’s No 1 was confirmed, however, five matches ago, the big German has not escaped criticism.

 

Some apportioned blame for his punch which led to Victor Wanyama’s spectacular equaliser in the 2-2 draw with Tottenham at Anfield on Sunday, while he was beaten at his near post by Leroy Sane in the victory over Man City.

 

With equally big tests ahead – the Champions League restarts at Porto next Wednesday – Karius is unconcerned.

 

“Maybe I could have done better against Man City. I didn’t see it as a massive mistake because [Leroy Sane] hit it quite well,” he said.

 

“In other games I haven’t had too much to do. I’ve come for crosses and collected them. At Swansea [Alfie Mawson] put it right in the corner and there wasn’t much I could do.”

 

Karius was asked if he was aware of the criticism of his performances and whether they would affect him.

 

However, the keeper insists he only focuses on the matter in hand and had this message for potential critics.

 

“You can’t get frustrated [by what they say] as you know there will be games when the team needs you more and you have to be there focused,” he said.

 

“I wasn’t begging in the other games: ‘Please, please, I need a save.’ I knew it would come. I had more to do against Tottenham and I tried to help the team.

 

“My head is right. I feel like I’ve learned a lot from last season and I feel good.”
