We used to win leagues with a keeper who would throw them in the net for little brown envelopes, luckily we had a solid defence and the back pasd rule hadn't changed then. Really? I though he was cleared of those charges.

I'm bumping this one after Karius' performances recently.
I think he has improved massively, and I'm impressed. This weekend stood out to me because he did that rare thing that top class goal keepers do: be bored and have f*ck all to do until one split second and pull out a world class save.
Mignolet was fine if we were under the kosh and had lots of saves to make, but he didn't have the concentration a keeper needs at a top club.
Karius is still very much auditioning for the rest of the season, but I think he's starting to show how good he really is. I wonder if you are you still of this opinion after last nights performance? Karius has benefited from not being tested in games but last night, his failings were on show again and no, he hasn't improved.

He's young and he's not perfect, but he's improved massively. I am happy to see him play some more games. Nothing stuck out as terrible last night to me, no.

Perhaps you can clarify those failings for me?

He kept another clean sheet (most in the CL), came off his line quick to deal wiht danger, and made a couple decent saves, but he mostly had F*ck all to do.
Every site I've looked at gave him a 7/10 mostly because he had little to do. What failings are you referring to? Failing to let the ball in the net?

Klopp obviously saw something in karius we didn't and he is a good judge on of talent. Last few games karius is showing promise remember de gea was a turkey when he first started for united

My best friend is Bavarian and a huge Bayern fan, and he told me Karius was the heir to Neur's throne. He's not easily impressed either. I am impressed with his improvement. Hopefully it continues.

And it is a totally wrong statement if you said he has not being tested in recent games. I can remember at least a few good saves in recent games:- a PK save vs Spurs and off the line quickly to save an one-on-one in the same game two very good saves againts Arnatuvic one incredible saves against Diame shots I believe his good saves are much more than above but I just highlighted some for your easy reference. Besides, I think he had two good game versus Porto too (both away/home). He came off the line very quickly and cleared a lot of through balls.

I watch Bundesliga almost every week and I am a great fan of Karius too. He was really great at Mainz. He simply has the potential.

I think he was the 2nd best GK after Neuer the season before he joined us, but for how many seasons has he been at that level?
