.... fair enough... it's only the 3rd Liverpool game I've watched all season.. the other 2 being versus us!

[Football] Has there ever been a worse keeper display than that
- Thread starter TheDuke
- Start date
This although I’d have a little less sympathy if he’d just cost us the Champions League!
Yep, that’s what I commented on at the time too. Not only were his arms at best only half extended when the ball was a yard from the goal line, he also pulled them back to that position.
Strange decision.
He also made exactly the same mistake as the third goal in the home 1st leg semi final against Roma when it was still 0-0
On that occasion the ball squirmed from his hands onto the cross bar. So it was no surprise from me. The less said about the first goal the better.

Aye. It was noticeable that it was Madrid players & staff who went to try & console a clearly distraught ( & not tears for the camera distraught ) player.

Joe Hart 75 caps for England, 6ft 5 in tall only 31 years old and played the last 2 seasons behind crap defences in front of him . He could do a good job for Liverpool
Is it PotG?

He's head and shoulders above Karius, I'll grant you that much.

Also most other English goalkeepers and a number of keepers in The Premier. Some team will sign him in the summer window if Man City do not demand a stupid fee..

Just checked Karius stats in the Premier League this season and surprisingly he has actually done well.
Played 19
Clean sheets 10
Goals conceded 14
Compared with David De Gea, his stats are pretty similar.
Played 37
Clean sheets 18
Goals conceded 28
I don't know if it is possible to recover from such a mental setback, but he is 3 years younger than DeGea, who also had a sticky start at United, so I would advocate he gets the chance to learn from this and use it to develop, but I guess he will be moved on.

Poor bloke. None of us can appreciate the mental strength this guy will need for the rest of his life, people are cruel and will jeer him relentlessly. If he’d murdered someone chances are they’d be kinder. Hope he gets another club, perhaps back in his home country.
"Just hope the Liverpool fans are able to put the mistakes behind them and show Karius the same support they'd lend to a disgraced racist"

I hope he gets over it. You would hate to think that he would be mentally scarred by those errors. I am sure players and management will rally round and he might even become an antihero to the fans.

Harry Thomson was a decent Scottish goalkeeper for Burnley in the top flight in the late 1960s. His finest hour came in the 1966/1967 Uefa Cup when he frustrated a hostile Napoli crowd as Burnley held the Italians to a 0-0 draw and an aggregate 3-0 win.
But in the following 1967/1968 Division One season, poor Harry had a nightmare afternoon as Burnley were destroyed 8-1 by West Brom at The Hawthorns in a mid-table clash.
Harry was at fault for several of the goals - the worst was the 5th on the stroke of half-time when Albion right-back Eddie Colquhoun tried his luck from the halfway line and his 50-yard "daisy-cutter" was misjudged by the keeper who allowed the ball to trickle between his legs and into the net.
I think he kept a clean sheet the following week in a 2-0 home win against Newcastle.

Maty let it an almost identical goal, but fortunately it was in a pre-season friendly that, seemingly, everyone has forgotten about now.
I’m not sure that the Liverpool chap will be so lucky
Stevie's bob and weave works excellent on penalties
