Karius was then heckled and jeered by his own fans for the remainder of the game, with reports even suggesting the 25-year-old asked to be substituted at half-time as a result.

"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."
