Interesting...
Is he any good?
Not a clue.

But Arsenal want him to replace Sanchez.

Why anyone would go there at the moment with their problems and an imminent managerial/coaching staff upheaval, I've no idea.

Is anyone else fuming that Mings now feels out of the loop and considering his future due to us giving Karius game time?!

Mings has had a good season and seems to get dropped for no reason, really annoys me!

Rightly or wrongly, it seems he's been told he has no future and if he can find a club he can leave this window, hence putting himself in the shop window with his public comments.

He's better than Karius but he isn't all that so it;s hardly the end of the world

I am not sure what the "index" in the attached chart is but the shots saved column says quite a lot, even allowing for the few games played.

Malcolm highlights

Might be a good idea to get another Brazilian in to keep Fit happy?

Nope, I don't feel sorry for any footballer that isnt performing.

Neither have any right to be number one, both are lucky to be at our club imo.

Not many (if any) teams in the prem would take either as an upgrade to who they currently have in goal.

Migs has had his chance and it's karius' time now, well, at least till next week!

He has had 200 games to win people over. Unfortunately he's convinced no-one.

Can he play in the middle? Has he got the X factor?

I am hoping Mings has been told a new #1 keeper is coming in and Karius is to remain #2 (which he would accept) hence he needs to move on

I'd feel safer with Mings in between the sticks between now and the end of the season. I think if Karius is going to be a regular fixture we'll concede more than with Mings. I was feeling mildly confident of a top 4 finish before the City game. But if Karius is 1st choice now I can't see us winning enough games.

Maybe being first choice will take the weight off his shoulders and he will surprise us.

You can't write top 4 off because of this!

If he makes an error a game you just need to score one more goal than that, two errors, again one more goal.

I think Klopp is pretty stubborn in his goalkeeping choices, he did buy Karius in after all, whereas Mignolet was already there ...

Disappointing for the Belgian, as he won't get (m)any minutes for his country in the near future either.

I wonder whether a goalkeeper is Klopp’s Achilles heal, like Moreno was until he was injured. But then, Klopp sees a lot more of these players in training so if he wants to give Karina a shout then I’m going to give them both the benefit of the doubt.

I think we'll finish top four easily, maybe even second. There's very few teams can stop us now I'd say. I also think we'll get a new 'keeper in the summer and make do with Migs or Karius until then, although I think I'd prefer to give Karius a run in the team.

I think people are forgetting Karius did get a run, and did as bad a job as Mings, if not worse. There was a reason Mings got put back into the first team despite Klopp's first choice having had a run of games.

True, but the way VVD was bawling and shouting at everyone should, hopefully, tighten up the defence and keep everyone concentrated. Then the 'keeper might have some confidence in himself too!

Perhaps, but there is nothing Karius has done to suggest he will be better than Mings to me (said with my 0 years of management experience). Mings has often shown himself to be a good shot stopper, and I think he had the most clean sheets for a while in a year (strangely enough). Mings is not bad, just not good enough compared to our rival goalkeepers.

I also am not convinced about Solanke yet, but he's still young. He does a lot of effort, but seems to (so far) lack the instinct for being in the right place to score - which the top players have.

He started the season as #1 - that didn't go well. But I hope you're right, I never want to see our players fail.
