When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
You can hear these words week in week out at Anfield. Sounds impressive, doesn't it? It's nice to imagine people in Leverpool really mean what they say. Or..do they? I am sure Loris Karius has something to say about it. The German goalkeeper benched the team's former number one Simon Mignolet last season and helped Liverpool reach nothing less than the Champions League final. We all know what happened next. Liverpool claimed the reason behind his blunders in Kiev resulted from concussion he early on in the match. So why the hell they did not substitute him? Loris keeps conceding mistakes in every pre-season game he plays and it seems like the German's confidence is gone completely. However, instead of supporting the poor guy, Liverpool fans call for his head and ask to get rid of him rather than Mignolet following the arrival of Alisson.
'He was shocked Liverpool signed Allison? Really? So he fully expected to be number 1 in the new season? Delusion explained'
'Karius clearly has a lot more problems than concussion. His confidence is shot to pieces. Liverpool need to do the right thing by him. He needs help'
'Maybe he should have spent the summer practicing catching and training instead of going on holidays and getting tattoos. Maybe he should look at himself and his own failings instead of lashing out at criticism. He earns a huge amount of money at the top level. It just isn't good enough. Maybe he can try one of the lower divisions'
Truth to be told, even Karius himself doesn't know what he is doing right now:
'Of course that's not perfect for me, but I cannot say much more about that either,' said Karius. 'I do not know that (whether he will leave before the deadline); I cannot say what I'm doing right now, there's still some time left.'
