After another ‘madness’ player could be sent back to Liverpool early
By Nihat Emre Kocaaslan - 3rd December 2018
Besiktas goalkeeper Loris Karius is once again dominating the sport headlines in Turkey following the club’s Europa League clash with Norwegian side Sarpsborg.
The Liverpool loanee was at fault, at least according to some, for both Sarpsborg’s goals but the Turkish side eventually won the match 3-2.
Turkish newspaper Takvim has criticised the goalkeeper’s performances and they’ve used the headline ‘Karius madness once again.’
This has opened up suggestions the German keeper could return to Liverpool at the end of the season if his form doesn’t improve.
Gunes Besiktas reporter Safak Malatya has explained the agreement Besiktas has with Liverpool: “There’s no mandatory clause on Karius contract. The agreement is two-year loan deal. Besiktas have the option to cancel or extend the deal at the end of the season. There’s also no clause in the contract for the future sale. The thing is, Besiktas have the total control over the loan deal.”
Karius was sent out on loan to Besiktas in the last transfer window and it was hoped he could find his confidence after the mistakes he made in the Champions League final in May.
However, his move to the Istanbul club hasn’t gone to plan and he was recently dropped from the starting line up.
With Liverpool having Allison and Simon Mignolet at their disposal it seems Karius doesn’t have a future with the Premier League club and he may have a decision to make next year.
Why madness? 1st goal he had to come out but got beat. 2nd goal was out of nowhere and one of those that you don’t save often or at all. The defence was crap and he did make a few good saves
I’m with Eli on this one. Keepers come out like that all the time. He was off his line but no real problem with it when you look at where the ball was.
1st goal he came right out of his area when he had no need to, leading with his leg out, when his defender was upsides the opponents striker.
2nd goal he was way off his line, almost centre of the box, again no need to from a positional perspective.
Small margins.
First goal, not sure the defender was going to catch the goalscorer. I'd need to see it a few secs before the video started to see if he was too slow to come of his line.
2nd goal brilliantly hit lob with power and dip. But not sure if he should be getting beat with a lob from there. Positioning looked ok. Hard to call.
Hmm... would we all have same views if it were Alisson? or does our expectation lower because it was Karius?
I probably would. Sometimes a keeper has to come out. Sometimes it’s best to stay back. In that situation for the first goal it was a 50:50 call for me whether to stay or go. The defender wouldn’t have stopped their striker without fouling him as he was the wrong side and heading for the box.
The second one you could say he was too far out but where the ball was didn’t really necessitate that. No keeper stays on their line when the ball is a way from the box.
But we all know he’s not hood enough for us so it’s all pretty irrelevant. Hopefully we never have to go to the likes of him again.

Mmmn goes walk about for the first one, fair enough, at fault but the second goal is poor brilliance, can't blame him for that one. Wouldn't want him anywhere near Liverpool though, sorry, just not at the level for me.
