Karius let in a deflection for Newcastle v United in the Milk Cup final
Commentators are piling on him. It was a fecking deflection. Give the lad a break. FFS
Edit: He just made an amazing save from a curler
He hasn't ever been good enough for us, but he had a fecking concussion in the CL 2018 that cost us. I'm not sure that's ever been properly acknowledged
"Karius was in tears at the final whistle, though he was, to his enormous credit, brave enough to front up in front of the TV cameras post-match. “If I could go back in time, I would,” he said.
“Today, I lost my team the game. I feel sorry for everyone.”
He flew to the USA after the final and, at Liverpool’s request and following a call to Klopp from German legend Franz Beckenbauer, underwent medical checks at the Massachusetts General Hospital, where it was revealed he had suffered a "visual spatial dysfunction" concussion during a collision with Real’s Sergio Ramos shortly before his first big error.
“Five days after the final, Loris had 26 of 30 markers for a concussion still,” said Jurgen KIopp later. “We don’t use it as an excuse, we use it as an explanation.”
Few, in truth, showed much sympathy. Karius, at that point, had played his last competitive game for Liverpool."
