IN our first of hopefully many TAW Reaction specials of the Summer, John Gibbons and Gareth Roberts speak to former Sunderland, Aberdeen and Silkeborg IF goalkeeper and now media expert and Sunderland Echo columnist David Preece about Liverpool’s latest signing – 22 year-old goalkeeper Loris Karius who has signed today from Mainz for just under £5m.
But why have one expert when you can have two?
Having already been joined by Adam Smith and Mike Nevin, the lads welcome back one of our favourite ever guests and former German Professional goalkeeper in Lutz Pfannenstiel who offers his opinion on Liverpool’s new number one.
In a lengthy chat both David and Lutz offer their qualified opinion on what Liverpool can expect from their new custodian, his strengths and weaknesses and how they expect him to do in the Premier League for Jurgen Klopp’s Reds.
In a free clip from the show – David Preece talks to John and Gareth about the difference between Karius and Mignolet’s approach to crosses into the area.

Does anyone know what mignolets stats and reputation was at 22yo when he came to the pl?
Only one question, does he have Swag?
Neuer does Ter Stergen does D’gea Lloris does, Reina does Mignolet doesn’t and that lack of calm transmits itself to the central defenders particularly.
Just wait until Achterberg gets to work on him.
