London: Liverpool's new first-choice goalkeeper Loris Karius has been backed to adapt to life in the Premier League by Reds boss Jurgen Klopp.
The 23-year-old German has been preferred to Simon Mignolet for the previous four fixtures and has endured some hairy moments. West Brom manager Tony Pulis will surely have taken notice of the weaknesses Karius has displayed so far and there may be several aerial tests coming his way at Anfield this weekend.
However, Klopp is content with Karius' displays and will not discourage him from altering his style. "He's had a very good start," Klopp said of Karius.
"We watched him for a long time. He was outstanding but he is still a young boy, for a goalkeeper especially. He collected experience but this is something else in the Premier League.
"It's a different kind of play in general in the Premier League and style of play in our specific case. Of course he has to improve and he can improve but with the start I feel quite comfortable, I think it's good," Klopp added.
