Alisson Becker

[Scratch]

Think he tweaked the muscle when he kicked a clearance towards the end...should have gone with his left, but went with the outside of the right and scuffed it a bit.

[The_weatherman]

They did press him a lot and Akanji challenged him on the corners, think the game was more physical for him then some outfield players!

[RedReet]

I'm sure playing 2 full games while Ederson sat with his feet up didn't help.

Alisson's performance and injury today are both prime examples of the effects of sandwiching a 5000+ mile flight inbetween playing 2 top level games in the space 80 odd hours.

[Liverpool]

obviously unhelpful but he's been injured a few times for us from his kicking

I also think he's lost his confidence with his feet since those injuries, he was way better with his feet when he joined, but he's actual keeping has improved.

[Harv]

That one he got injured from on Saturday was from trying to be clever and hitting it on the outside of his foot with power. Completely shanked it, usually it's a calf or quad that go when you do that (ive had a fair few quads ping over the years from trying to **** it and mistiming it )

Our defenders really need to stop putting him under so much pressure all the time. It's fine going back to him once or twice in the play, but when they start really pressing and they give it to him with an attacker right on him it just leads to a panicked clearance.

This, you could see our South Americans were off, Martinelli was off for Arsenal too, Caicedo as well and more. Crazy scheduling and I'm beginning to agree with those who are lobbying for an international month, just get it out of the way.

Brilliant save to stop Foden's shot though.

100% and barely mentioned, plus the save from Haaland in the move the preceded our goal

[Doc_Piptorious]

A "bad" Alisson performance is still a 7/10 by any other keeper's standards imo.

Yeah we were using him continually and under increasing amounts of pressure.

He is decent with his feet, but not at Ederson levels (though Ederson typically receives the ball with tons of time).


Wonder how bad the tweak is?

For decent precedent though last time he tweaked his hammy we won the League

[Shaggy]

Only Twitter rumours but some talk he was seen in London yesterday and that he might be out for 5 weeks. He'd miss United and Arsenal if true ffs. What a blow this could turn out to be.

They are almost neck and neck this season with their passing. These are PL starts only.


Ederson is slightly ahead with a pass completion rate of 84.8% with Alisson on 84.1%



Alisson's worst season for us was his first season when he finished with a pass completion rate of 83.3% for the entire season.



The stats also show that Alisson receives almost 33% more "under pressure" passes (passes played to him with an opposition player less than 15 yards away when the pass is played) which backs up your comment about him having less time on the ball.
