​Klopp tells Liverpool keeper Karius to ignore critics

Liverpool keeper Loris Karius was criticised for his performance in the 4-3 defeat at Bournemouth last Sunday but Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has defended the player.

"We analysed the game," said Klopp. "I found eight players who could have defended the goal before Loris was involved.

"He made a mistake too which (Manchester United goalkeeper) 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."
