Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says Loris Karius retains his full confidence.
Klopp admits he “fits the style" but says his shot-stopping expertise is just as important. The manager believes the criticism of the 23-year-old's display last weekend was over the top with some of the defending in front of him leaving much to be desired.
“The first thing when I approach a goalkeeper is catching balls. But you need players who fit the style," Klopp said.
“We are a footballing side and sometimes we use the goalkeeper for this. We need him to make quick decisions.
“Of course you don't want to concede goals and that is all about the defending of the whole team.
“Sometimes you need the goalkeeper and he's made a lot of really good saves in the last few games. And then this not so good save in the last minute against Bournemouth.
“That didn't feel too good but it is important for development that when you have a situation like this that you feel the criticism - the right criticism, not the criticism from people who want to send you out of the county or something.
“We are quite cool in this situation so we were all responsible for this defeat."
