Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has his goalkeeper’s back.
Loris Karius has faced a good deal of criticism for his performance in the Reds’ come-from-ahead loss to Bournemouth last weekend, even some calls for a Simon Mignolet renaissance between the Anfield sticks.

And Reds supporters won’t mind Klopp calling out a rival’s woes to support the claim.
From the BBC:“He made a mistake, too, which David de Gea made a few days before. Even the best goalkeepers in the world still make mistakes.
“There is no perfect recipe for development but shut your ears or close your ears helps a lot. I’m quite good at that. Hopefully, he can adapt to my skills to this.”
Klopp isn’t alone in defending Karius, as ex-Liverpool star Pepe Reina thinks the keeper’s been outstanding for the Reds.
