Loris Karius: We only showed what we're capable of in the final 25 minutes

There was little doubt about Schalke's best player in the 1-0 defeat to 1. FSV Mainz 05 on Saturday (17/10). Loris Karius pulled off a string of excellent saves to keep the Royal Blues in the game, although the goalkeeper would have preferred a quieter afternoon. “It's really frustrating. When you're facing that many shots, you're clearly not doing everything right as a team,” he admitted. “And that makes it difficult to get anything from a home game against Mainz.”
