Liverpool Doesn’t Have A First Choice Goalkeeper - Jurgen Klopp

Goalkeeper Loris Karius will start in goal for Liverpool's Champions League return, but that does not make him Jurgen Klopp's number one. Klopp handed Karius an unexpected start in Liverpool's 4-0 win over Arsenal last month, only for Simon Mignolet to regain his place in between the sticks for the 5-0 defeat to Manchester City in the Reds' following fixture.
The Liverpool boss will put his faith back in compatriot Karius for the club's group stage opener against Sevilla on Wednesday night, but Klopp insists that is no reflection of his long-term plans.

He said “If nothing happens overnight then Loris will start, yes, but no it doesn't mean that Karius is now number one, why do we think number one, two, three is fixed until the end of all days? I don't want to bring that in doubt but how can you ask if he's number one? By the way, it's not that he shouldn't be number one. If they train bad they don't deserve a game, but they both train really well, they keep the level really high. If we don't give them a game then every year we have to find a number two, 33 years old, who still can catch a few balls and doesn't want to play any more - that's really difficult, to find someone like that. I prefer having a group of good goalkeepers and that means you have to change things. That's the plan. Not to keep them happy, no, to use the quality of the goalkeepers and that's how it is, to keep them together and then they will decide with the performance who will play. Are all players happy with the decision? I don't know - it's nothing I can think about too much.”
