What's the story about that picture? Was that on international duty?

An actual professional, while Fabinho, Trent and Van Dijk are away in the clouds.

 

The only criticism I could level at Ali is that he should be grabbing these boys and screaming at them to do their fucking jobs.

He was our saviour today, no danger.

[Captain Howdy]

Magnificent goalkeeper 

[Jairzinho]

He's our best player.

Has been since he signed. 

 

We won fuck all until we signed him

[Josef Svejk]

I assume he's supporting Bolsonaro again?

True, although we did sign Keita in the same window so I suppose the same applies to him.

I had him as our player of the season, last year.

 

Think he made a mistake for one of the goals against Spurs away, but made 3-4 or amazing saves.

 

Other than that I can’t recall him fucking up in the last 12 months.

I think with these owners if we had a "normal" manager and goalkeeper we would be starting seasons aiming to finish 6th.

I still love the way the actor/comedian Alison Becker has leaned in to the name confusion.

I want to see our Ali reciprocate by filming some Parks & Recreation scenes.

Having not seen the Brighton game at all,other than the goal highlights,was Alisson a busy bee on the day?

I don't think he had to do much more than what was on MOTD (but that was more than enough for my liking).

No, but he made 3 absolute worldies and couldnt do anything about the 3 conceeded.

[El Rojo]

He'd make any team on the planet better, which will inevitably become a worry for us if we continue to underperform. 

[Red_or_Dead]

Worried when I saw this thread near the top!

Got a horrible feeling he may be seen by our owners as our biggest saleable asset next summer....

That would be the final straw for me.

His team-mates can help prevent against that by defending like professional footballers again in the near future and salvaging something from the season. 

[VladimirIlyich]

Alisson is especially showing his worth because the superhuman feats of VVD in the past are now having him looking like a mere mortal.

FSG are mingebags, but it's a bit of a stretch to paint them as some sort of serial sellers. Torres, Suarez, Sterling, Coutinho Wijnaldum and Mané were all pretty much set on leaving; it's hard to pin any of that on FSG. Who does that leave; the likes of Brewster and Solanke? 

 

They're filthy capitalist pigs, but they're no mugs: they must know that, like Salah, Ali is more valuable here than any transfer fee.

While I think you are mostly correct I am still to see their business acumen of letting saleable players like Can and Wijnaldum run their contracts down and allow them to leave for free while keeping serial crocks like OC and Keita? These two may also leave on a free at a later date.

Special player.
