Alisson Becker

[ZonkoVille77]

Shit happens. As long as it doesn't carry through to the next game. 

[Code]

Hopefully fans can forgive a keeper making two mistakes in a game this time around. 
 

He better not concede a soft goal in the warmups any time soon though. 

[dockers_strike]

Has had a few close calls when taking too long to pick the perfect punt forward. When you get caught once, dont try the trick again. He'll be massively disappointed with that performance, Im sure.

Difference being Alisson is one if not the best keeper in the world, the other clown was just that, a clown and a shit one at that.

[Redder Lurtz]

He's got shitloads of credit in the bank and I love him dearly but I'd still love to kick him square in the balls right now.

The key difference was that Karius made a number of fuck ups before the final, and also didn't ever look like the sort of goalkeeper that could win us games by making world class saves. His career or lack of it since he went out on loan speaks volumes.

Yes I mentioned this in another thread, in the past few games he's been taking some chances for no reason. 

He will be OK it happens to the best of goalies, twice though grrr, I'm not going to start giving him down the banks as he's a decent goalkeeper and one of ours, and I'm glad of that. 

[Butch]

The worst thing about both his mistakes was that he wasn't under pressure, just seemed to have a brain fart twice in 4 minutes. Poor lad won't be able to sleep tonight. We can all have a shit day but it' can be critical if you are a goalie. 

On to sat and Leicester.

Let me help you.

LFC in race to sign Kobak.

Top target won't be released as they can't find a replacement in time. Some other CB we where trying to sign 

Get the right players where they should be playing.

Not a go at you fella but fuck me, they don't give a shit.

If FSG brought in a defender or two at the start of Jan as they should have done it could be argued that Ali would feel more confident with the defenders ahead of him and would be less likely to dick about. So FSG can take a portion of the blame here too.

I love Alisson, so I'm not bashing him, but this isn't entirely surprising to me, I've always thought he takes unnecessary risks at times. Hopefully it doesn't affect him going forward but I'm fairly confident it won't

He's a great keeper in many different ways, but he is less good on the ball than he thinks he is. We are poor at playing out from the back. I wonder if we should just tell him to hoof it and then counter press the resulting throw ins.

Agreed, I actually think his ability on the ball is overstated. Better than most goalies around, still. Not sure what he was doing today. What was that illness he had the other day, must have been brain-fart-itis

Nah, Karius had a very good season up to the final.

 

But football fans have no consistency in their behaviour, so Alisson will obviously be given a different treatment.

 

Thank God for that, these things happen and he is the best GK in the World, even if he fucked up today.

Alisson had to play even if he was not 100% fit, the reason was that Adrian was our other option, obviously FSG’s fault.

Two mistakes that cost us one game is better than two mistakes that cost us two games. Hope it's out of his system now.

I can't think of any other time he's cost us points since he's been here. But there are plenty of times he has won us points.

 

I'm assuming he was still not 100% from his illness and I'm hoping he'll be alright for the next match.

Karius failed to recover from Kiev: that’s the difference.

If Karius had such a good season, how come Besiktas were the biggest club that came in for him and he now finds himself as backup at Union Berlin?

[dockers_strike]

Ive great sympathy with 'modern' day keepers. They have to play with a ball that moves all over the place plus not only expected to be good with their feet, they are expected to play virtually every ball 'short.' Even goalkicks more often than not are short not halfway up the pitch.

 

Alli compounded his one error by trying to play the ball short, again, minutes after cocking up. But again as Ive said before, stop putting your keeper under needless pressure by playing it back to him especially in and around the edge of the box. The 3rd goal, Alli's 2nd error, there was plenty of opportunity for the defenders to 'launch  it!' but no, we have toplay it around and are forced into errors.

[Stickman]

To be fair with the first clearance there was still a lot to do to score, Edison nearly fucked up at the start of the match when his clearance went to Mane...The difference is City are top and are playing with confidence so you get away with those things when you’re going on to win the league .

 

[VladimirIlyich]

I also think he was very slow off his when giving away the penalty to Burnley at home. He's been a bit below his best for a while but has still made some superb saves,he even made a great save before the first goal for City. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he is also playing through an injury.
