Alisson Becker

[Norbs]

Not sure why we are having this discussion in the Alisson thread.

Anyway the thing I find odd about Adrian is that he seems reluctant to use his hands, he seems to try to save about half the stuff with his legs, I've noticed it before and he was doing it yesterday, it just seems really odd.

Sounds daft but he's ok with his legs and if it's close by and below waist height, why wouldn't you?

He did one in particular at his near post and I thinknl he was frightened to dive for it for fear of headbutting the post

I thought he was fine yesterday and I'm not a fan at all. My overall position on him is that as long as he's not making clangers and playing games at a 6/10 level, then we'll be fine.

He wasn't.

He was ****in ****.

He should have saved the first goal. Went through his ****in buttery fingers. The ****in arsehole.

I’m not sure he should have saved it, plenty of those goals happen every season, clear header straight at the keeper above his head and most go in.

He was fine tbh, he’s not good enough to be our number 1 and we don’t want him starting big games for long but yesterday he was fine.

It was from close range and it looks a lot worse in slow replay, but being so close (inside 6 yard box), should the keeper not be coming for it?

He got both hands to a header, a parry or block at least from that, it seems to lamely go between his hands. It happens though and it's more worrying that he doesn't seem to know where to position himself and doesn't make an effort to battle for that ball

He should have saved that first goal, but it was not an absolute howler. Pisses me off because I have 3 Liverpool defenders in my fantasy team. Should have realised that was not going to work based on our record since the restart. Have to sub Van Dijk out though. ****e weekend!!!

Inclined to agree. Didn’t think he did too bad yesterday

Agreed - if he's hitting 6 every week rather than the plumbing 2's and 3's I'd settle for that

[Fosterbloke]

He does take away some element of our build up play and hands a lot of possession back to the opposition.

If VVD is out then I hope Klopp reverts to 17/18 gung ho Liverpool!

Adrian is dreadful. On the one hand at least he has been told just boot it at all costs as he does not have the ability to pass it around at the back. Unfortunately that kills our build up play through the fullbacks. We have made a mistake not going for another keeper in the window, he is a liability that is costing us points. Alisson back is crucial to our season, now more than ever especially if VVD is out for a sustained period of time.

[frank the tank]

Fingers crossed he is back for the Ajax game.

Can't come soon enough. Adrian is a ****in embarrassment

[Fosterbloke]

Do we know how long he’s out for yet? Having both Alisson and Van Dijk out long term is ****ing terrifying.

Klopp said Alisson's recovery is looking very good now.

[frank the tank]

He can't come back soon enough. The ****in dopey referee and VAR cunt coote have taken the focus off that ****in clown Adrian. Any half decent goalie stops the first goal today. He shouldn't have even given away the corner for **** sake.

****in ****e
