Man, I watched him alot when he was still with the Man City Youth team. He is good, but not that good. Slow down.
With that being said, he played well today. Btw him and Isak, i dont think Dortmund will miss Aubameyang that much.
Is this the most embarrassing thing to happen to a keeper?
Liverpool: Loris Karius is now the first choice goalkeeper, says Jurgen Klopp
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says Loris Karius is the club's first-choice goalkeeper but warned he needs to deliver.
Simon Mignolet began the season in goal for Liverpool but has not been named in the Reds' first XI since the club's New Year's Day win over Burnley.
Karius made his first Premier League start of 2018 in Sunday's 4-3 win against Manchester City and Klopp says the number one shirt is his to lose.
"He's the number one now," said Klopp.
"Loris needs to deliver and he knows that."

Let us note for the record...
the date (19th Jan 2018),
Liverpool's position in the league (3rd),
games played (23 i.e. same as everyone else and therefore 15 league games to go),
points (47 and 3 points away from out of top 4),
win percentage (56.5% or 13/23),
goal difference (28) and last but not least....
goals conceded (28 of which I'm already giving Karius 3 off top from the City game)
This is the turning point when Liverpool will throw away their top 4 position this season...
Don't let the dumb pundits tell you it's because they sold Coutinho come end of the season...remember Klopp's key decision here
5 to six 6 years from now it is possible. At 17, getting game, in the right development (BD), sky is the limit.

No mercy for any of these multimillionaires.[/QUOTE]
Nah I dont think that, I think its tactics, Miki is an attacking player and he likes a 'free role'... Having to put in loads of defensive work isnt his game... Dude already left Armenia to play football in different parts of the world etc its down to management imo, and that goes for management as in 'man management too', some players need an arm round them, some need a cold shoulder, some need shouting at... Some players like it seems Miki, Veron or Di Maria at United just dont work out...

@Englishdude , @waterurseeds
We got 16 million for him ahahahahah, shitload of money for us...
He has played as a winger but hes a CF...yall took a gamble because Im sure the scouts know that he hasnt been consistant enough yet at/for PSV so the prem might be a step to high at this moment...on the other hand, a more challenging envirment might just be what he needs right now...he has the talent, the age to grow, should have no problems handling the prem condition wise.
Its 50/50. I knew pröpper was gonna ball at da Bright, cant say for sure if Locadia will...hope he does, the gods know we need a great striker at the national team again lol.
And thanks for having faith in the Dutch during these dark times, Ill go to the amex for sure next time Im in England lmao

Ever since I put morata in my dream team, all he’s got me is cards.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain left the talent graveyard at Arsenal and took a £60,000 pay-cut to join Liverpool… but he's off to a flying start having already beaten his best Premier League goals tally
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's Premier League scoring totals in his six seasons at Arsenal tell the story of a player whose attacking potential was wasted.
Two goals in 2011-12, one in 2012-13, two in 2013-14, one in 2014-15, one in 2015-16 and two in 2016-17. Nine in total in the space of six years under Arsene Wenger.
In 20 games with Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool, the Ox now has three goals – more than he managed in any of those seasons at Arsenal.
The 24-year-old attacker should not get ahead of himself, of course. Three goals in the grand scheme of things is not a lot.
What it is, however, is a sign he can contribute more at his new club than he did the other. It is certainly a start.
The Ox's first goal for Liverpool following his £35million move was against West Ham in a 4-1 win and his second was against Swansea in a 5-0 win.
His third was more vital – the opener against Manchester City at Anfield which put Liverpool on course for a 4-3 win in what was the game of the season so far.
He drove at the Premier League leaders' defence, forcing his way past Fernandinho and striking a low shot beyond Ederson. It showed a direct side to him under Klopp.
Oxlade-Chamberlain's dribble success rate is currently the best it has been in his career (62.9 per cent). He has attempted 62 – already more than he did three out of six seasons at Arsenal.
His set-piece deliveries have been an asset too.
The new man assisted Virgil van Dijk for his debut winning goal in the Merseyside derby.
He also took the free-kick which led to Ragnar Klavan's stoppage-time winner against Burnley at Turf Moor four days before that.
The Ox was used out of position on occasion by Wenger, such as at wing-back, but what he wanted was the opportunity for freedom further forward and a chance in central midfield.
It is his preferred position and precisely why he agreed to a £60,000 pay-cut to move to Merseyside.
Arsenal offered Oxlade-Chamberlain £180,000-a-week but he signed a contract worth £120,000 with Liverpool.
There are others who have been held back at Arsenal, arguably a graveyard of talent. Young, talented players rarely seem to improve these days at the Emirates Stadium, while there are plenty of examples of players who have stood still or even moved backwards under Wenger.
Theo Walcott, who left for Everton for £20m last week, was among those. He is likewise hoping to fulfil some potential before it is too late, though Walcott is 28 while the Ox got out at 24.
