Would you replace Karius straight away even if he continues to improve? or might you consider that a betrayal? It´s a tricky Gambol. I do think Pope is an excellent keeper though.
What are his 'errors leading to a goal' stats post Virgil?

How dare any of you have the absolute temerity to second guess @doctor_mac ?
For those that do, I have but one word for you.
Salah.

Salah.
Oh Mane Mane
I'd say his errors since VvD would definitely be slim to none. In terms of replacing, I'd hang onto Karius, but give him excellent competition. Let the best man win the jersey.
I'm not for spending 70 odd mill on Alisson but signing an excellent older back up keeper would be the way forward.
Someone good enough to compete with Karius and good enough to be our nr 1 if needed.
I'd rather spend money on a top quality centre back, midfielder, winger and striker before putting so much money in a goalkeeper.

Speaking of which ... does Henderson still do his gambols when we score? I haven't seen one for a while now
If we can get Alisson, I'd buy him to be our number 1 - as I think he's the better GK, who is not far off being elite.
Karius has improved, but he's playing in front of a defensive structure that is giving him little to do in most games. So I don't really look at stats, such as how many clean sheets we've conceded over the last 10 or 15 games, as a lot of the time he's not had much to do.
I look at his GKing within those games & I'd say he's been hit & miss.
His save vs West Ham from Diame was incredible, not sure many other GKs in the league would have made that save. But all GKs in the league do make incredible saves themselves from time to time. Mignolet did for us, but he just made too many errors. His save vs Bolasie was good, but I think Mignolet could have done that himself personally, the length the ball travelled from & it was always going in that corner.
I think Karius is still making errors:
We're at a position in this LFC side to really push on this summer. That means upgrading the weaker positions in our First team. Lovren & Karius are the two starting points for me & then you look at maybe a Henderson upgrade and so on.
No doubt Karius has improved, as he was woeful last season when used bar the odd game (Southampton in the league cup). But he's playing behind the best defensive structure in the league the last 15 games. He's made a couple of quality saves. But he's still making errors and if we have the chance to get Alisson who is incredible, we'd be foolish to just stick with Karius becomes he has merely improved.
Yesterday he had nothing to do. One save that was right at him. I'm all for giving a player credit when they do well and Karius has got some. But I don't like going above board until they deserve it and Karius is still showing plenty of flaws.
If we ignore the GKing situation again I think it will be a mistake personally. Had enough hoping Mignolet would come good or going cheap with Karius, who was very good value at the time & he was a very good shot stopper in Germany. But his flaws were crossing, his decision making & I still question those weak areas.
Get Alisson, get the other two or three players to upgrade our weaknesses & let's get this title. Now is the time to show real ambition.

I think Karius is still making errors:
- Penalty vs Kane
- Vs Sane at Anfield near post
- Penalty on Zaha vs Palace
- His punch vs City mid week which thankfully given offside

Once bitten twice shy. We have been bitten twice recently and that's years and years of underachievement with the keeper being a persisting problem. Ming was not good enough, and it seems neither is Karius.
The moment is now if we want to get rid of this problem once and for all. Our stock has never been higher, Allison or Oblak must be tempted looking at the direction we are going. There are loads of top clubs looking for goalies and if we miss out on these top guys, someone else is going to take them.
There is going to be a merry go round of goalies if De Gea or Courtioes move and I don't think any of these top clubs are going for a Pope/Butland/Heaton as their first choice and neither should we.
There is a lot of talk that Arsenal are going to sign Pope. I hope we don't regret not rivalling them for him.
Pope might turn out to be great who knows? I wouldn't be complaining if our scouting team zoom in on him in the end. I mean after the motherload jackpot of Salah and Robertson who could deny them that?
I'm just saying if I am playing the percentages, Allison/Oblak seems a better bet, albeit a lot more expensive.

As I've said, I'd take Oblak tomorrow, but we're not going to get him. On every statistic Pope looks elite. If you look at that stat above with Allison where he makes 3.36 saves per goal conceded- Pope this season makes 3.86 saves per goal conceded- this in addition to him being statistically the BEST keeper in the league in dealing with high balls makes him a top shot stopper and someone who commands the box. That's rare enough. I haven't seen anything to suggest that Allison commands his box from aerial attack- maybe he does, but I've seen some flappiness in one of his vids. I'm going to start a campaign I think....
I bet they go for Butland.
Nice to see Lucas is still Lucas, also
Hense the fuseage.
Pope might be a World class keeper. well worth a 30+risk. If Allison has a worldlier WC yo could be looking at 140+
And we can release white smoke out of a chimney when we sign him.
Would be a more than capable no. 2
I like this but I would give up on getting a CF for getting Ryan Sessengnon in.
In fact with Sessengnon in there are so many options including:
1. Direct swap on the left = Mane rested
2. Move Mane to the right wing, and Ryan Sessengnon on the left = Salah rested
3. Salah in the centre, Mane on the right Sessengnon on the left = Firminio rested
4. Sessengnon at left back = Robertson rested and Moreno sold
This kid is really good unfortunately, I have a feeling it will may take breaking the British record for a teenager to get him.
Fucking brilliant. Honestly some of you fuckers dont deserve Rurik
Also lovely.
Is The Pope Catholic?? This is a trick question right??
Does he shit in the woods?
I agree with @doctor_mac about Pope - he has caught my eye all season. His debut was against us too I recall, and he has been more than solid since.

My general view would be one of two options: 1) If we can get a World Class GK, i'm all in. It would be foolish to miss out. 2) If we can't get someone in the top bracket - stick with #LK1 but bolster the ranks as Ming can be flogged and Ward is nowhere. Pope would be excellent in this regard.
