Liverpool may be blessed in the goalkeeping department now with Alisson and Adrian amongst their ranks, but Loris Karius is looking to impress Jurgen Klopp whilst on loan at Besiktas.
It is the German’s second stint at the club in many years which suggests he impressed in the last campaign, although a record of 39 goals conceded in 30 league games is hardly the type of form that is likely to persuade his Reds manager that he deserves a place in his squad.
This campaign has followed a similar trajectory for the goalkeeper, although the 26-year-old has impressed on occasion.
He has one clean sheet to his name from four games in all competitions and three Super Lig games has averaged 1.8 saves per match, according to Wyscout.
If he is to work his way into contention for Liverpool then one area which will be just as important as shot-stopping is his work with the ball.
This term he has averaged 5.4 successful distributions per league game, showing that he can get his side up and running when called upon, and if he can improve that over the course of the season he could give Klopp something to think about.
He has also achieved a pass accuracy of 95% which, whilst impressive, falls behind that of Adrian, and in a Liverpool side which will look to compete in all competitions next season he will have to be at the top of his game in all departments.
Karius, therefore, cannot afford to continue making individual mistakes which cost his team goals, and if he does then he is unlikely to have a future at Anfield.

Against Slovan Bratislava he made the rash decision to come way out of his box to head clear a long ball, only to misjudge the flight of the ball, missing it completely and instead colliding with his own defender, allowing the opposition to score.
Whilst Adrian cost the Reds a goal against Southampton he has otherwise been very impressive with brilliant saves against Napoli and Chelsea, while number one Alisson proved himself to be the best goalkeeper in Europe last season in what was his first on Merseyside.
Surely time is up for Karius, then.
