As we told you earlier, Loris Karius hasn’t taken too kindly to the criticism from Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville.
The German was at fault for Bournemouth’s late winner on Sunday and received little sympathy from Neville.
“He’s not good enough, that goalkeeper,” the former Manchester United defender had said.
“You could see actually in his first game, was it against [Manchester] United on a Monday night? He looks nervous and he isn’t good enough.”
Having hit back at Neville – appearing to take a swipe at his unsuccessful stint as manager of Valencia in the process – Karius seemed far less concerned with the words of his Monday Night Football colleague, Jamie Carragher, who was also for from complimentary about Karius’ recent displays.

“Carragher was here at Liverpool for a long time so maybe after the game he was a bit frustrated,” Karius had told the Daily Mail.
“He is probably still a supporter.”
“And I don’t care what Gary Neville said. He was a manager for a short bit and now he is back to being an expert again.
“But he is always very critical. 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.”
Karius’ words have clearly reached Neville. On Friday evening, he shared a screen grab of Carragher’s recent assessment of the goalkeeper’s start to his Liverpool career on Instagram, illustrating the point that his own comments were not too dissimilar.
“My sincere apologies Karius,” Neville writes.
“You’re right. A failed manager hasn’t a clue. I won’t copy your great fan, pundit and club legend again.”
Do you reckon he’s being sarcastic?
Over to you, Loris.
