Loris Karius has been in shoddy form over the past few weeks – making some crucial mistakes that have lost Liverpool critical points when they are making their first real thrust for the Premier League title since Luis Suarez.
It all started off when Gary Neville laid into Karius in typical unrestrained fashion
Karius didn’t take it too well, and responded with some stinging criticism of his own –
“He was a top player, then he was a manager for a short bit and now he is back to being an expert again,”
He had added something more neutral to this, but words once spoken never come back to their quiver.
“But he is always very critical,” Karius added. “I think he does it to everyone. I just hope that when I do well he will comment on that. We will see in the future.”
Gary – never one to take it lying down – responded with My sincere apologies Karius. “You're right. A failed manager hasn't a clue. I won't copy your great fan , pundit, and club legend again.” after attaching a screenshot where Jamie Carragher is critical of Karius.
The latest installment of the Karius saga started with a fan asking Didi Hamman his opinion -
Phil Neville also came out in support of his brother – and asked the Liverpool keeper to “Shut Up”. That is talking in no uncertain terms, isn’t it? But Hamann obviously didn’t like it much.
When someone pointed it out to Didi, the man responsible for Liverpool’s Istanbul Miracle responded that it doesn’t mean Carra’s right either
When someone tried to defend Carragher and Neville, Didi thrashed them –
That’s when the ever-direct Jamie Carragher stepped in –
Hamann was taken by surprise, to say the least -
And then it all escalated very quickly
For those not in the know, this is what happened in Tokyo in Jamie’s own words:
We played at the World Club Championship in Japan and we were beaten in the final. We needed a drink and nobody could sleep so we went out for a drink and met up with a few of the supporters. We were trying to get a taxi back and a few of the Spanish lads, who hadn't had as much to drink as us, jump in the first taxi as only one shows up. Didi Hamann then jumps on the bonnet and roof. Twenty-five Japanese police officers turn up and we then get chased through the streets of Tokyo. We are not the quickest footballers you have ever seen but we could just run away because they were so small. Didi was a lot slower than me and was locked up before being released the next day. It was a lucky escape. There was no MailOnline then!
WOAH! Jamie!!
Wonder what Didi Hamann will have to say about that? Apparently the two legends have re-conciled
More pertinently, do you think Loris Karius can ride the criticism and become the goalkeeper that Liverpool needs him to be?
