Of course he needs therapy. The guy has ptsd. Making such mistakes in front of a huge world wide audience is bound to have psychological effects on anyone
He was always going to need support this season. Recovering his confidence will take time & his shaky performances in these friendlies shouldnt be a surprise. If he can weather the storm & put in a solid 90 minutes he will have something to build on, but right now every mistake is scrutinised & magnified with the memory of the CL final being so fresh. It’s likely to be like this all season, but I hope he gets a start or two in a domestic cup run. He sorely needs penalty shootout heroics this season to try & put the memory of that final to rest.
#LFC will bank a £2.25m loan fee for Karius. Besiktas obligated to buy him for £7.25m if certain performance criteria are met (appearances made and them qualifying for Europe).
You know what, he just needs to have a 12 month break for football. Regroup, stay fit, meditate, get some counsel and come back with sleeves rolled. Hope he makes it. He’s a bit of a tit but hope he makes it.
Nice to see Liverpool fans showing Karius some love after Jun 1st. It must be like a weight off his chest now Liverpool won it a year later, maybe he can get some of that anxiety from himself. Would you guys have him back at Anfield as No 2?
Congrats, @LFC. Really happy for everyone at the club and fans. You deserved this.
YNWA… Having a go at the scapegoat a year later after he lost the final due to a concussion… That’s low mates, he is still under contract and has only been a professional for the club… This kid got some spirit because the backlash from the fans was monstrous… I was ashamed of my fellow reds and I still am.
NB the concussion was debatable and regardless of the CL which we won’t mention. He never really showed what he can do and there is just to much for him to come back from at LFC. He needs to move on and start fresh, I would not want to see him back
Won’t happen after Adrian’s performance this season. At 32 he should easily have 3 more years where he can at least deputise for Alisson. I like Karius but I’m afraid his time has come and gone.
