I thought the Watford game was a turning point for Karius.
Made some good saves. punched the ball clear a few times. Caught a few crosses and wad then cruelly denied a clean sheet as we forgot that we had to defend sometimes.
At 23 he probably has about6/7 years before he's near his peak.
He looks good tho and he looks a lot more confident than 3 weeks ago.
I think whoever plays against Utd can safely say they are now number one goal keeper.
Enough has been said about Mignolet. He's cost us more points than any other player I can remember. I think there was a point in the season where he conceded all 7 shots against him over the course of about 3/4games.
Karius hasn't been great though as he? He's conceded from corners. He hasn't come for crosses. He's stuck to his line but still somehow out of position. His handling hasn't been filling me with confidence either. He's needed two attempts to keep the shot out or just to get it under control.
Personally I'd stick with Karius. He's not been great in the 2/3 games but he's young and is still learning. Dropping him now would be a massive confidence hit. Mignolet has been poor for 3 years. No matter how bad Karius has been. Mignolet has done much much worse.
I'd rather have a keeper that can hopefully gain confidence and get better than a keeper who is below average and at fault for a massive percentage of our goals conceded.
From yesterday's game, I can see a big improvement by Karius
