It comes down to if we sell Migs, Karius is young and still has a future, he did well for the second half of the season until CL final, even CL final he did a few decent saves early on, he has no real sell on value ATM, so I do not see him being sold.

If we sell Migs, we will need to bring in a keeper, I think we might then go for a new number 1 and have Karius as number 2, if Migs is not sold, I see no change in our keepers as we will not have 3 potential number 1's on the books.

Looking likely he'll still be no 1 when the season starts. I think he could still mature into a decent keeper.

Klopp has come out saying he's 100% sure the Karius was concussed in the CL final:

I get the feeling he's setting this up as he does not need to replace Karius as there is a reason, not looking good for buying a new keeper, also, doesn't this call into question our physio's/doctors on why they did not spot it/take him off at the time?

Disagree. There aren't millions of people that pay professional photographers to make videos of themselves for the world to see, especially when the majority of their fan base thinks they are useless and should be keeping a low profile. If he didn't consider that this would be a really bad move then he must still have 'concussion'. Foolish man.

He's doing what every young person does and living his life by social media. Just because he's paying someone to take the photos doesn't make much difference at all. Most who do it would could they afford to too.

I'm also still unclear on why he should hide himself away? He had a mare and we all know it but that doesn't mean he has to live like a hermit or not have a holiday. We all make mistakes in our professional lives it's just that his were much, much more public. As others have mentioned, if he was a striker missing a sitter, nothing would be said and he'd be left alone.

We all know that ultimately he's not good enough but he's not picking himself. Maybe we should turn our attention to the man that is? In my opinion, he should still get our support while he's being picked and playing. The mistakes he made were not done on purpose just to p!ss us off so I don't understand the vitriol towards him?

Yes I read that earlier on BBC and my immediate thought was "this is a very public way of saying (without saying) that our Goalkeeping situation remains the same. Now this could be because Klopp has thrown all his eggs in one basket on Alisson, much like he did for VVD and Keita, knowing that his pursuit of Alisson could go into another 1 or 2 transfer windows?
I can't believe that we would continue with both Karius and Mignolet??? it would be insane! Both have proven they are not up to the job.

If Karius is doing all this PR stunt BS on his own, the club should have reigned him in a long time ago!
Karius is making himself and the club out to be fools. His private life is a soap opera played out to the masses...wasn't he going out with one of those gut wrenchingly, squirmish reality tv bad actresses from "Madness in Chelsea"? Looking at all this stuff Karius is doing out in the public domain is NOT endearing to the paying fans. He is fast over taking Enrique for limelight hogging!

Or he's doing his job as a manager and trying to build him up after the disaster that was the ECL final. We all saw what happened and Klopp is hardly going to just come out in public and destroy him. He doesn't need to as we're all doing that for him.

Totally disagree with this.

The moment Karius went over to the fans at the end of the CL Final, begging for forgiveness...pretending to cry and wipe away non existent tears with his shirt, was the defining moment of what a huge mistake it will be to continue with him any longer.
From then on he has been undignified in the way he has chosen to hog the limelight...P*ss*ng off to the USA the day after The CL Final...making a gut wrenchingly, cringeworthy music video to visiting an FSG funded hospital in Boston to get a very dodgy prognosis to justify a horrible performance that cost us The CL Final.

All Karius had to do the moment the Final whistle went in The CL Final was to get into the dressing room after the medal ceremony and apologize to his team mates. Then make a public apology via the club PR Dept' the next day and disappear to somewhere away from any sort of media. Klopp would have handled all the ensuing flak about his performance, stating he is still young and will be working harder than ever to get better...that is all that was needed, not the pantomime afterwards!

You disagree because you don't like what he's doing. He's doing what all young people do all be it that he's in the public eye and can afford to do it more expensively. I'm not an Instagram user or heavy user of any social media but if that's what he wants to do in HIS time then that's down to him.

And was he not allowed to go on holiday because of the mistakes? get real. He made some mistakes and as I've said, he's not good enough for us. But had he been a striker who missed a sitter and we lost the game, nothing would be said of it.

I'd suggest that had Karius just gone from the pitch there's be an outcry from the likes of you that he didn't go and apologise to the fans. That he didn't care that they'd spent their hard earned money to watch him throw away the final. He wasn't going to win either way after that so why even pretend he could have?

Klopp is handling the 'pantomime' well and has backed him whether he means it or not. I'd also suggest there is no pantomime as he's just doing the things all these people do. It's being blown out of proportion by you and others doing what you all do.
