With Loris Karius attracting so much criticism,
former Manchester United man thinks Jurgen
Klopp should have signed England number one
Liverpool would have a 'fantastic chance' of winning the
Premier League title this season if they could have
signed Joe Hart in the summer, says Phil Neville.
Carragher hits out at Karius
The former Manchester United and Everton player-
turned-pundit thinks Jurgen Klopp's men could have a
real chance of title success if they could have improved
their goalkeeper in the summer.
Klopp returned to Germany to sign Loris Karius as a
replacement for Simon Mignolet, but he has come in for
heavy criticism over the last couple of games with big
mistakes against Bournemouth and West Ham.
In the past eight days, Liverpool have just one point
from two games they largely dominated. The Reds
now sit six points behind league leaders Chelsea, and
that defensive frailty threatens to derail any chances
they might have had of winning the league.
“I don’t think there’s much to choose between Karius or
Mignolet,” Neville said on the Match of the
Day Facebook page.
“I think they’re both pretty equal in terms of the qualities
that they have, so it’s a real tough decision. I look back
at the start of the season when Joe Hart went to Torino
and I thought ‘if Liverpool sign Joe Hart then they
probably have a fantastic chance of winning the league.’
“To win the Premier League you need a good
goalkeeper. You need two good centre-backs.
Unfortunately, I don’t think Liverpool have either.”
