I'm not going to give up on Karius after a couple of months, granted he made a mistake for their fourth but the damage was done by the likes of Lovren and Origi making stupid, needless mistakes in the build up to the earlier goals we conceded. We gave the ball away needlessly high up the pitch and then players we should be able to rely on at the back lost their heads at crucial moments.
Matip is crucial, if Lovren is going to fall to pieces playing alongside anyone else then we need another CB. Lucas has done a decent job there but it's obviously a position we need to improve in at some point. Today was a wake up call, a reminder that there's still a long way to go. Perhaps that's what we need, performances have dipped in recent weeks and now it's cost us points in a game we should have won. The likes of Origi and Firmino have to do better next week, we can't expect to stroll through games at cruise control and any player who plays like they think that will be quickly taken to task by Klopp.
We need a response against West Ham, this is a horrible result but in the grand scheme of things we've still made an excellent start to this season and there's still everything to play for, we're all going to drop silly points between now and May. The players will deservedly get a rocket from Klopp, hopefully we'll have Matip and Lallana back in from the start next Sunday and put this behind us.
