I wasn't pointing out mistakes when replying to you, but more your post defending Karius and nitpicking, but ironically, you are doing the exact same thing, but this time, using players you have only seen twice or 3 times
And ask yourself this, why are Ederson and Alisson being highly lauded and gushed over ?
So how many times does someone need to see a GK to determine where he's good or not? what's your magic #? Yea, let's ignore the meltdowns they had in the games they played against us, because the youtube highlight reels tell us the real story, right?Ederson i have seen enough times in the PL to know he makes plenty of mistakes, and Allison had the stage to shine on and live up to his world class hype and failed, regardless of your defense of him.
Who gushes over them? generally those people who have it against a player and think that the players the other teams have are better. Butland, Schmeichel, Allison are 3 that immediately come to mind as having read posters say we should target as a replacement, but neither are any improvement over what we currently have, and we saw that right in front of our very own eyes.
Here's a quick article on Allison after yesterday's game.

Karius might have seen off the threat of AlissonThis semifinal has been a tale of two goalkeepers, but the script hasn't quite turned out as many would have anticipated.
Ahead of the first leg at Anfield, much of the talk surrounded Roma's Alisson Becker, the Brazil No. 1 who has been linked to both Liverpool and Real Madrid in recent months. Good enough to be keeping Manchester City's Ederson out of the Brazil team, Alisson was highlighted as one of Roma's strong points -- a key factor if they were to make it to the final.
In contrast, Liverpool's Loris Karius was the man under pressure, with Alisson's shadow looming over him at Anfield. The German has seen off Simon Mignolet to become Liverpool's first choice, but he is still prone to errors and that is why Klopp has been urged to sign a proven replacement.
On the evidence of the two legs of this semifinal, though, Karius is improving rapidly and growing in confidence. Although he could have done better with the shot that he palmed out to Dzeko for Roma's second, Karius was otherwise commanding and assured.
Alisson, meanwhile, did little to stem the Liverpool tide and did not cover himself in glory at Anfield or in this game. The Brazilian does not command his area as a keeper of his stature should, and he commits himself too early, which might have been a factor in Mane's opener in this game.
His film-star looks might remind one of a matinee idol, but as a supposedly world-class goalkeeper his performance has been decidedly B-list.
