Karius had a nightmare in our biggest match of the season (did concussion play into that? not sure), but prior to that he was a much improved keeper and growing into the role as our #1.. maybe I just have a soft spot for the guy and am completely off base

This is pretty much how I feel. Obviously an upgrade would be great but I agree Allisson is looking like he might not be worth the price that's rumored and Oblak would just be crazy expensive.

I'd rather keep Karius as a started than most of the other names mentioned except maybe Strakosha, but I think it was Pearce shot down that rumor.

I also agree strengthening midfield will help strengthen a good bit as well. We improved dramatically on set pieces so I'd like to think improving our midfield to not lose possession in bad spots coupled with actually having a true DM will help as well.

Still adding Fekir would be nice, but Ox paired with Keita and Fabinho is still exciting to think about. And I know a lot of people wouldn't be terribly excited but Henderson paired with the other 2 is also a solid, physical midfield that would cover a lot of ground and make it even more difficult to score on

TL;DR strengthening other positions should help take pressure off Karius if that's who we stick with
