Alisson Becker

[spud_gun]

I think Alisson is above criticism tonight, he's earnt it

Pretty much applies to the entire team in my opinion.

The last two seasons has been the greatest football I've witnessed in my adult life.

You've got to wonder about the mentality of people who're piling onto Klopp, Alisson, Salah, Robertson, TAA etc at the moment.

A few real ****houses about

[Zapater]

He has outperformed xG by 27 over the past 2 seasons - he ****ed up in the first goal and he lost his head which is so atypical of him. Brain was gone for the second one and could have done better on the third one

I can't believe people are even having to dig up stats to justify this tbh. He had a **** game, so be it. Other keepers do far worse on a weekly basis. It's done, let's move on, no need to unnecessarily compound things.

Needs a break. Calamitous decisions gifting winning goals in two successive games needs addressing. It's mental and about concentration and calmness.

[Fredo]

He played an excellent game up to that first calamity.

[Kenneth]

Yeah, but the calamity...

The alternatives are playing Adrian who as a few errors in him, or risking damaging the confidence of a young keeper like Kelleher. Not sure if bringing in either for the Derby would be a plus and not so sure that either are an upgrade on even an out of sorts Alisson.

I think he was actually a bit unlucky today, as was Kabak, and that Alisson made more than a few smart stops or catches during the game.

I thought both of them were responsible. Someone used to play in our system knows that Ali is gonna come for that ball. Misunderstanding with a new player in.

I don't agree. It was a completely crazy decision, one that he doesn't make in previous seasons. The defender was in a position to hinder the attacker when the ball arrived, and it was miles away from goal, and even without the defender there, it's not clear he would have won it. 100% a brain fart by the keeper.

It's a misunderstanding between Kabak and Alisson, lack of understanding but Alisson should have shouted to make it clear he was coming for that and Kabak get out of the way. Although not sure why he has come that far for it, would need to see it again (but don't want to)

Ok cool, fair enough. So, play Adrian then?

[Kenneth]

Kelleher for a game. A 'sort your head out' message to Alisson.

[Fredo]

Kelleher is injured.

[Exiled_red]

Kelleher is injured.

I assumed that was why Adrian was on the bench. FFS
