The Belgian has been steady enough since being reinstated between the Liverpool sticks, but his failure to keep out a Jonathan Walters header in the first half of the match against Stoke City was enough for Jamie Carragher (no, absolutely not Gary Neville) to speak about the situation once again on Sky Sports.
"Liverpool have got a goalkeeping problem," Carragher said. "It’s not just one individual."
"The reason Karius was brought in was because Jürgen Klopp didn’t think that Simon Mignolet was good enough.
“When a Liverpool goalkeeper gets asked to make a save that he should make, a lot of the time they are going in.
"You can say it’s poor defensively, but at times you want your goalkeeper to bail you out – that’s what he’s there for. I’m a centre-back myself and you don’t play a game without making mistakes, and that’s where your keeper comes into it.”
Instead of Karius or Mignolet, Carragher added that the solution for Liverpool could be Joe Hart - the Manchester City 'keeper on loan to Serie A club, Torino.
"If someone said to me the window is open and you can go and get Joe Hart, you’d do it. If I was Jürgen Klopp, I’d do it.
"It is a great chance that Liverpool have got at the moment and it might be different next year with European football coming in and the managers that have come into this country now having another year’s experience.
"Antonio Conte is flying at the moment, you think of someone like Pep Guardiola and the investment the other teams are going to have.
