Liverpool hero Danny Murphy defended Loris Karius after his latest comedy act during victory over Sunderland.
Karius kicked the ball out for a corner when trying to pass to a team-mate in the Reds' 2-0 win over the Black Cats yesterday.
Former Kop star Murphy tried to offer an excuse for the German shot-stopper.
He said: "I think what he saw was somebody coming to press the player he was passing too and he panicked.
"Bit of a shank wasn't it!"
