However, I do agree that we didnt have enough covers in some other game and that's why I am calling for Karius to be number one. Migs didnt take the responsibilities as a GK for a strong side. Unless you are playing in Scum who like park the bus, a lot of strong play a high line and their defenders dont run a lot faster than ours. However, a lot of through ball of counter attacks were cleared by the GK as their GK is willing to rush out and come out a lot faster. Say the red card for Mane as an example and there are a few occasions againts Spurs as examples too. For any of those through balls would result in a one-on-one situation against us with Migs as the goalie.
Migs is actually letting the whole defend down. We need to get it sort quick.
Karius has shown he is a worse shot stopper than Mignolet and also not a good judge on when to come out. Lovren was afraid to be on one on one on Kane, this is why he wanted to get the ball at any price for our second goal, our system allowed a situation where a quick CF could be on a one on one and a GK cannot cover a player at the centre of the pitch. WE are not a well organised team and it's so obvious, there is no balance between attack and defence, it's all attack, it might not even be a player problem. Lovren in the hands of Pochetinno was a different player.
I always say Lovern is not that bad, but to me it is more like he cant cope with the pressure with playing in Liverpool.
He did not have a good start with us under Brendan ages and he is always a target for being criticised. I somehow think that he wants to prove his worth by doing some defensive moves that he is not able to do well. For the second goal, if he afraid of Kane, he wont go straight to rush for the ball. He rushed for the ball because he wanted to do a great job by intercepting the pass to Kane. He took unnecessary risk and he paid for the price. Simple as that. If he was afraid of Kane, he would simply force Kane to get ball and dont allow him to turnaround and do a foul to stop Kane if necessary.
For the cover of GK, I dont mean the second goal. I mean the season in general. We seldom see Migs come out to catch a through pass. Look where Ederson rush out on the occasion that Mane being sent out and you would know. If that is Liverpool facing that through pass the ball would pass through and Mane would get a one-on-one chance and then our centre back will be blamed on lack of pace or poor positioning etc. That's the situation.
Karius is a young GK who adapting a new style of league. He was good in bundesliga and he beated Neuer to be the best GK in bundesliga before he came. His errors were one of the least too before he came.
He didnt have a great start with Liverpool as there are pressure and a different league style. However, he did show a lot improvements during his spell at liverpool. Look at his performance in CL this year comparing to last year's when he first arrived and you will know how fast is his learning curve.
We all know keeper needs to adapt to the game and adapt to pressure. Friedel was once a very bad keeper when he played for us. I remember how he failed to save a single shot in those days. He turned out to be one of the best in EPL in his later stage of career.
Gomez in Watford was a similar case.
Another is De Gea.
There are lots of examples.
Migs have already been given too much chances and he didnt show a learning curve. He is also not the GK style that fits to our system. I would say it is the time to give chance to Karius.
