Is Lorins Karius guilty of defeat at Real Madrid? Yes. Is it possible to blame him? No.

Liverpool this season climbed very high, but the higher the "red" rose, the more it became like a tower from "Jenga". The team before the Champions League final began to "shake" in the Premier League, losing points with West Brom, Stoke City and Chelsea.

In Kiev, the situation became critical after the loss of one of the most important details in this tower - Mohammed Salah. When it came to Loris Carius, the tower crashed down, burying Liverpool's hopes of returning to the elite of European football right here and now.

The main reason for the defeat of the "reds" is really Loris Karius. The incredible importance of the fight could lead either to the fact that he will give a great match, or to failure. There was a second variant. The German allowed two incredible scoring errors (error 1, error 2), and in the situation with the second goal just did not save.

But do not blame Carius - that's how he is. Goalkeeper, who does not belong to the gates of the Premier League Premier League, because of reliability and confidence with him, you do not have to say. Loris - as a revolver from the Russian roulette: he usually does not shoot, but sometimes - it does great damage to the chances of his team. Yesterday he shot right in the head and another control.

Jurgen Klopp - not a fan of buying ready-made stars, he much more impressed by the opportunity to develop players. And it is this that can explain why neither last summer nor winter in Liverpool there was a new goalkeeper. The German kept faith in the existing goalkeepers, and in part it worked - Carius really added compared to last season.

This is normal when you make mistakes with growth, but only the goalkeeper is a position on which almost every mistake is critical, and yesterday they happened just two. The legend of the "reds" Bruce Grobbelar before the match praised Loris, saying that Liverpool's goalkeeper "will be the best in the Premier League in terms of price-quality ratio". Perhaps, the German also will add - but whether it is not necessary to him to look for this place more quietly, than Liverpool?.

Back to the match. A weak goalkeeper is just the tip of the iceberg. In the semifinals, Liverpool and Roma worked the Brazilian principle "kill us as much as you can, and we will score as much as we want", but in the finals, when it was necessary to recoup, it turned out that there was no one to launch an attack.

Among the attacking players of Liverpool was on the bench only Dominic Solanka - a talented player, but for the whole season could not convince that he deserves more than the outputs for 15 minutes in the endings of the matches. When Mohammed Salah broke, Klopp did not translate Firmino to the flank and let out the frontline Solanka. Instead, Adam Lallana came out, because of the injuries he played for only 235 minutes in the Premier League, and in the end the match - Emre Jan, who did not play since the middle of March.

The loss of Mohammed Salah also played a role. Sergio Ramos will be accused for a long time of deliberately injuring the Egyptian (I do not share this opinion) and reflect on the topic, "but what would happen if Salah remained on the field". But history does not tolerate subjunctive moods.

In summer, Liverpool needs to spend and spend a lot. The final match is not what it showed - he shouted that 100 million euros for Alisson - this is normal. Prices in the transfer market have risen about the same as in Ukrainian supermarkets. Now for a conditional 30 million euros you can not buy a scorer from the top club - they can not buy each bajoyoko.

Will not hurt and the strengthening of other positions - the center of protection (because Dejan Lovren - that's still a "revolver"), midfield and even attacks. Fortunately, Nabi Keita will definitely pass in the summer and Nabil Fekir from Lyon is close to the transfer.

With Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool can build an excellent team that will be ready for big victories. The main thing - do not forget to lay a solid foundation.
