Liverpool news: Loris Karius slammed by Besiktas manager, who admits transfer ‘hasn’t worked out’
Besiktas manager Senol Gunes has admitted Loris Karius’ loan from Liverpool simply “hasn’t worked out.”Following the goalkeeper’s latest error, he also admitted he would drop him if he could.Karius was sent to the Turkish Super Lig outfit on a two-year loan deal back in August, two months after his poor display in the Champions League final, which ultimately resulted in him losing his place as no.1 to Alisson.1

Loris Karius has struggled for form at Besiktas

Karius was at fault for two goals in the 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid, however, his time abroad has not been any better, with various reports over the campaign suggesting Besiktas were unhappy with his performances.The German conceded a soft goal on Sunday as his side ran out 3-2 winners over Konyaspor, failing to make what should have been a routine save as Omer Ali Sahiner scored a 20th-minute equaliser.Karius then had to bear the brunt of criticism from his own fans for the remainder of the game, with unconfirmed reports even suggesting the 25-year-old asked to be substituted at half-time as a result.Shinji Kagawa’s late winner saved Karius’ blushes, but manager Gunes was not happy with his goalkeeper’s performance – admitting he would have dropped the German in favour of Tolga Zengin had the 35-year-old been available. “He was at fault for the goals he conceded,” Gunes said. “Karius has gone a bit stagnant, something is wrong with his electricity, motivation, enthusiasm for the game.“It has been like that since the beginning. He does not really feel a part of the team, it’s something we haven’t been able to work out and, of course, I am partly to blame for this.“Something is wrong, he has also been unlucky. [He] is talented but it hasn’t worked out and we have a problem. Let me put it this way, if I still had Tolga available I would play him.”
