Well it implies that making himself big was what made him a great goalkeeper.
Please go away and provoke people somewhere else. I can accept delusion of Liverpool fans but this is not that. Nobody can't be deluded that much to put him above or at the same page as De gea.
Sure mate, sure.
Agreed and for Liverpool its been a player they've needed since Reina left.
This thread.
)I would have zero confidence in Mignolet or Karius making that save yesterday. The save in itself wasn't anything special, mind, and it was a poor finish from Milik, but that doesn't mean it didn't show Alisson's class. His awareness, positioning and anticipation is what I'm surprised about, all top notch and it means that a lot of stuff looks basic which could potentially have ended up a lot more dangerous with a different keeper in goal. There was a moment yesterday as well where someone wanted to put a Napoli striker through but Alisson was literally between the penalty spot and the edge of the area which meant he was able to easily sniff out the danger. Nothing special but it makes it so much easier for our defence.
Yeah, he's a good keeper.
Yeah, we probably overrate him a tad as we've not had a good keeper for ten years.
Yeah, that save yesterday was something you'd expect most PL keepers to make, never mind CL keepers.
It was a huge moment, but it wasn't an absolute moment of class or ability. It was fundamentals. Goalkeeping 101. I'd actually back Mignolet to have saved it in a similar situation, never mind Leno/Ederson/DDG/Kepa/Lloris.
(Still buzzing, mind... That moment scared the shite out of me
I don't really disagree with anything you've said apart from the Mignolet not saving it point. Yeah he's quality, makes it easier for players around him, gets play started well, & I guess it'd be fair to give him credit for keeping a clear head given how big that one moment was... But at the same time, it was a pretty routine save that any of the top 6 teams keepers would've stopped.
No they haven't.
Well it’s not just one save is it
Oh, ok.
Find me a quote that says that.
In terms of clean sheets and shot stopping its Oblak and Alisson, gets harder to analysis if you add distribution.
He's clearly exaggerating but the point he's making is that you've all shat the bed because your keeper did something he was supposed to.
Yep. The save was more vital/important, as opposed to "jaw dropping/magical", if that makes sense.
Just so you understand.
Oh come on, if De Gea makes a 1vs1 save in the dying moments of a game where you can't concede and you would go through after that, you'd all be praising him (rightfully) as well, doesn't matter whether he's supposed to save that or not.
It's in this thread on page 12 I think. Not much I agree but.
Saw it as well after I posted it ffsIt's in this thread on page 12 I think. Not much I agree but.
You have a Juventus fan making the claim up thread.
I've got no issue with celebrating the importance of the save, but all this shit trying to make out it was somehow a tremendous piece of goalkeeping is laughable. All this talk about his anticipation and positioning making it look really simple, and the psychoanalysis of Milik as he took the shot is bizarre. It was a routine bit of keeping where he did what he was supposed to and the striker fortunately fluffed his lines and hit it straight at him.
Yep. Also helps that he's a proper unit.
You make it sound as if he saved a routine shot against Burnley in the 5th minute rather than making a vital save to get us to the KO stages of the fecking CL.
Thanks, guess he won't be promoted anytime soon if he keeps exaggerating like that. I don't agree with it for what it's worth.
It's cos you're used to the crap served up by your keepers up to now. Good saves are not the norm.
It was a routine shot, it just happened to be in the 92nd minute of your final CL group game and not conceding meant you progressed. By all means go fecking wild and celebrate the moment. I'd have been excited had it been United in that situation, but I certainly wouldn't have gone online and started talking about how great the save was, making up stuff about Milik's mental state as he struck the ball, or severely playing up the importance of not running away from the ball. Ultimately, it was far more down to Milik's lack of composure than it was to Alisson's goalkeeping ability, and that's the case with 99% of missed one on ones.
Fantastic post and agree 100%.
I have watched every Liverpool game and Alisson has been superb. Not only because of his saves but also his distribution. Like Ederson, he's a sweeper-keeper.
I never thought Reina was that good. He was certainly better than Mignolet and Karius, but he also benefited greatly from a far more organised defensive unit in front of him, and looked amazing having replaced Dudek. Alisson is easily a better keeper than Reina, although I'm not sure he's any less likely to make a twat of himself given his propensity to dwell on the ball a bit too long.
