Loris Karius dropped another clanger this week, and there was no concussion to blame it on.

The error prone Liverpool goalkeeper cost his side a goal in a pre-season friendly with Tranmere Rovers.

Instead of giving up on the German, countryman Jurgen Klopp came out to show his support for Karius.

Loris Karius of Liverpool breaks down in tears after defeat in the UEFA Champions League final between Real Madrid and Liverpool on May 26, 2018 in Kiev, Ukraine.

Klopp told BBC Sport: “Mistakes will happen; I don’t like it, he doesn’t like it. Let’s carry on and make the best of all these situations by learning from them.”

The manager’s comments smack of sweeping a problem under the rug instead of actually dealing with it.

This is a problem of Liverpool’s creating, as their need for a new goalkeeper has been obvious since January and heightened after the Champions League final.

Now there is less than a month until the Premier League season starts and some fans are frustrated with Klopp, that he is not treating the situation seriously enough…
