Ed001, as you'll probably know Liverpool have got Hans Leitert in to advise the club on goalkeeping matters. Is it purely coincidence that since that happened, Karius has been made first choice in all competitions? Was that always on the cards, or has Leitert potentially (obviously we can't be 100% sure) had a hand in the decision? I don't fully understand his role or what power or influence he has.

{Ed001's Note - it was always the plan, so I have no idea if he has influenced it or not. I would assume he was in favour of it so probably did have a hand in moving it forward.}

Cheers Ed. Not a lot been explained about Leitert's role so I was just curious. Thanks for the reply.

I think karius needs time like de gea had and mistakes he makes in games need to be overlooked. Young goalkeepers need patience from us fans. Imagine we sell him and in 3 years time he turns out to be on the level of the very best goal keepers. Give him time and less stick.

Do you think klopp waited for us to get vvd in, score establishing karius?
With vvds pace we can play a higher line, and Karius is quick off his line, and with added confidence in the back four, there's less pressure on him - if he was brought in at the start of the year, he could have been in the spotlight too much, and with the dodgy defence, lose confidence.
Karius and vvd have made our defence look a lot more solid.
