Simon Mignolet's future at the club appears to be over after recently losing his place in goal to Loris Karius, with the German now considered to be Liverpool's undisputed first choice in all competitions.
Klopp insists he is happy with his current options between the posts, saying: "My favourite solution, always, is that we do it with our boys. They step up, they deliver, they improve. The problem they have is that everyone is watching them."
However, doubts still persist over Karius' ability to hold down the No 1 shirt going forward at Liverpool, with Jamie Carragher adamant neither goalkeeper is good enough.
"On Mignolet, you sometimes run out of things to say because we've been accused of battering him over the last few years," Carragher told Sky Sports after Liverpool's 3-3 draw at Arsenal at the end of December.

"Forget about Mignolet, we've made our feelings clear he's not good enough to be a goalkeeper at the real top level.
"He's [Klopp] bought Karius, that hasn't worked out. He's not good enough either, so why in the summer didn't Liverpool go and get a goalkeeper? It's imperative that Liverpool sign a goalkeeper."
But is that man Alisson and could the Brazil international be the answer to Liverpool's long-running search for a world-class shot stopper? With the help of Sky Italy, we look at why the player is so highly rated, how he compares to his rivals, and whether he would be a success in the Premier League…

What was Alisson's rise to the top?

The Brazilian started out at Internacional in 2013, where he fought off competition from the experienced Dida to become the club's No 1, before joining Roma three years later for €7.5m.
Alisson did not feature at all in Serie A in his debut season at the Stadio Olimpico, instead acting as understudy to Wojciech Szczesny, while appearing in Roma's Coppa Italia, Europa League and Champions League qualifiers.
