CRAIG HOPE AT WEMBLEY: Loris Karius is unlikely to play ever again as a Newcastle United goalkeeper. But at least this time - in reverting to the shadows ...

The fairytale of redemption was not forthcoming - victory was needed for that - but nor was it a horror show. But in committing his weight to block a low effort, the keeper was handicapped by gravity as a deflection off defender Sven Botman took the ball high. It was no bestseller, but Karius did not want to make headlines. It was both consolation for the team’s loss but also thanks for a performance that many thought beyond him. It felt like the whole world was waiting for Karius to drop the ball, quite literally. This had the potential to be scarring, too.

Settling himself back in his goal, Karius then got down to stop another shot, only for it to squirm past him into the corner of the net.

Loris Karius just matched Liverpool record as incredible Anfield ... (Liverpool.com)

Loris Karius acquitted himself well at Wembley, with Liverpool fans rooting for him. That support, along with an Anfield response, should dispel a common ...

He was [greeted with a standing ovation](https://talksport.com/football/408672/liverpool-fans-loris-karius-pre-season-torino/) in an almost unprecedented show of support. Precious few other fanbases would have responded to Karius the way the Liverpool fans did at Anfield way back in 2018. Alisson has been the bedrock of future successes, but his predecessor was never thrown under the bus. This season of underperformance has seen legitimate criticism stray into unpleasant territory on more than one occasion, if only from a minority. Among them was an incredibly smart stop to deny Wout Weghorst at the end of the first half, and a tricky one-versus-one against Bruno Fernandes, both of which kept Newcastle in with a sniff. Few would have been so eager to see him succeed in a final for a different team, some five years down the road. Social media was quick to jump on Karius after a wicked deflection left him helpless for Manchester United’s second goal, with all of the usual suspects positively foaming at the mouth for an error to seize upon for the sake of engagement. But the truth could hardly be more different. On the other hand was Newcastle United, newly taken-over by Saudi Arabia in what must be the least heartwarming ‘fairytale’ of all time. Having rarely had anything approaching regular football since his infamous blunder for Liverpool in the [Newcastle](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/liverpool-transfer-copycat-jurgen-klopp-26280628) some kind of defiant message in the direction of Anfield.
