I am very impressed with Alisson despite him having a girl's name.
He is miles better than the overrated De Gea.
I wrote down De Gea's weaknesses here:
Mental strength: 40/100 (No intention to stare down players at penalties, nervous movement, lack leadership, doesn't organise his defence)
Physical Strength: 50/100 (Too small frame, easily bullied at crosses, little intention to come off line to catch crosses, pretty poor at body block but good for showboating reflexes)
Prone to mistake: 70/100 (Numerous errors much more than Buffon, Casilas or even Neuer)
Spain went from World cup champion and Europe champion to nothing under ddg.
Manutd went from premier league champs to nothing under ddg. (12/13 doesn't count because even mark bosnich can win it for manutd when the whole team is on fire after losing on goal difference the previous season)
Ddg is poor at catching cross and slow at rushing out. He also has a small frame and is easily bullied. While it can be argued that he's athletic, his small frame meant he has little control over crosses and his shot blocking by body is poor by virtue of being small (De Gea is 76 kg, Kasper Schmeichel is 89 kg, Alisson 91 kg, Cech 92 kg, Neuer 92 kg). Due to his small size, he’s generally afraid of crosses and is also indecisive. His smaller size also mean he has relatively less strength and easily lose grip on goal.
De Gea leaves lot to be desired when it comes to his overall game. He is Spanish Shay Given at best hollywood saves then but there is nothing else about his game. Showboat keeper if you will. As a person, he is not arrogant but as a goalkeeper on the pitch, he is.
He was issuing a challenge to C.Ronaldo during the 3rd goal for Portugal. Why did he stand on the far side when he could stayed on the middle or right side where the ball is nearer to goal? Either he is challenging ronaldo or De Gea has no football common sense/intelligence?
He has made tons of mistakes but last season 17/18 was his best season ever and I applaud him for finally getting the golden glove when Joe Hart, Pepe Reina and Cech have won numerous golden gloves. (Contrary to popular belief, it was the defenders who have done a good job)
2011/12 season
Man Utd 1 Man City 6
Guess who's the keeper?
Man utd 2 Blackburn 3
Both at Old trafford and eventually cost united the title in 2011/12 to Man City on goal difference.
West Ham 3 Man utd 2
Knock manutd out of champion league spot in 15/16
Guess who's the goalkeeper?
Check out his League Cup Semi final error
Sunderland vs Man Utd (Same error made against Portugal's second goal)
Check out the free kick Challenge against Ronaldo. De Gea challenge Ronaldo by standing on his right side. He should stand on his left/middle side because the ball is nearer to the left side.
One thing about Alisson is he probably needs to improve his passing if he is going to get involved so much.
