Saturday’s win in front of the commentators caught the attention of Liverpool’s Gary Lineker. Gary Lineker and Micah Richards have praised the skills of injured Liverpool number one Alisson Becker at Saturday’s draw.
The “Reds” are currently worried about the health of the Brazilian goalkeeper. The former Roma player appears to have picked up an injury during the draw with Manchester City. However, it was not a perfect performance as Alisson made a few mistakes but City failed to capitalize on them. But they scored from one of Liverpool’s biggest mistakes.
However, this cannot excuse his performance as he once again played a key role in helping Liverpool win the match. Despite not taking all three points, Alisson made two superb saves to ensure the Reds took a point and stayed in the title hunt. Speaking on The Rest Is Football podcast, two pundits spoke highly of the 31-year-old.
He (Alisson) is great. Actually, those two goalkeepers, Ederson and Alisson, are two of the best goalkeepers in the world, right?Lineker said. Alisson doesn’t have as good feet [as Ederson], but he makes himself big by getting where he wants to go. Haaland’s save was deflected in the direction of Van Dijk. The method is to wait until the attacker looks up and then attack to close the space.
Even though Alisson is not very good on the ball, it was a lot of fun to watch both of them live.”Mica said later.
Ederson has good feet and can play from the back as Pep wants. And Alisson made a few mistakes in emulating the actions of his fellow internationals.But what sets him apart is how he handles those mistakes later on. He performed well for the Reds despite making a few mistakes. Plus, he rarely has bad games.
