We haven't seen enough of Karius to judge, but it was both comforting and exciting to know that one of our weaker players had been ousted. There is some big matches early on too.

Karius's willingness to distribute as quickly as possible is so refreshing and something not seen since Pepe was in goal.
I almost don't care about his shot stopping abilities. It's seeing someone in goal with a football brain and strong mentality which I've been wanting to see so much. Unfortunately we now have a 'good shotstopper' who has no football brain, is shite at playing football and mentally frail back in goal. Dreading it.

Mignolet is Ok-ish
But it must be apparent to him now that he's going to lose his place to Karius.
It was probably quite a blow to his psyche. And now he's back between the sticks for our toughest games. Will be interesting to see how he reacts. (Well, interesting if you're an Arsenal fan that is!)

Our very best opportunity to make Mignolet acceptable as our goalkeeper is to keep the ball away from him.
The £4.7million summer signing from Mainz has flown home from the club's tour of America after breaking a bone in his right hand.
Karius is facing surgery and will be sidelined for up to 10 weeks.
Klopp insists he hadn't yet decided who would be No 1 come the trip to Arsenal on August 14 but Mignolet is now certain to start ahead of veteran Alex Manninger.
Asked about the blow of losing Karius, Klopp said: “You never want an injured player and there’s never a good time with the timing of injuries.
“It’s not cool for him, not cool for us but it won’t change and we have to take it.
“We have another three goalkeepers. Everyone knows about the quality of Simon Mignolet. He’s made a really good impression in the first few days back in training and we also have a very experienced one in Alex Manninger and a very young one in Shamal George.
“A broken bone in the hand for a goalkeeper isn’t great. It’s not the worst but it could have been even worse. Six, eight, 10 weeks out, whatever, is not the longest period but it’s not too good either.
“It's not that I'd decided who was No 1. It was just about collecting information about the two players. “It was a battle between him and Simon and now that battle is decided for the next few weeks 100%.
“I’m of course really happy we have Simon and hopefully he will stay in the race and not get injured. We will need to give the other two match time now too.”

He did play quite well once he lost his place to Brad Jones of all people, so hopefully he'll be up for it again this time.
Don't trust him but hope he does well.
How bad is this break? One of the articles said he felt discomfort, surely you can play with discomfort?
Can we give him injections or make him sleep in an oxygen tent like they did with Rooney and Beckham's metatarsals.
I'm not a Mignolet fan, I've seen hungry toddlers with more mental strength.

They didn't know it was fractured.
I know. I was replying to Markeh who said ..... "surely you can play with discomfort"
I was joking I hate playing with Ming in nets
Watch Karius' reputation soar while he's out injured and we have to watch more dogshit from Ming.
^^^ That's sounds a bit sarcastic and unnecessarily pessimistic. Your posts are normally sunbeams and jewels Sean. Lighten up fuzzball. 🙂
Hahaha. Sean with his irritating, permanent optimism and sunny outlook can get grating after a while.
Well he does have me on his 'ignore' list. Maybe he won't see my attempt to cheer him up. *blows kiss to Sean* 🥷
Yeah he's sound. I have him on my 'favourite' list. I look at him as the ying to my yang 🙂
Depends on which bone is fractured, also if it's unstable due to ligament damage
Get him a hand transplant, Ming sucks
