      Yes from that forum. But I wasn't wumming.

      Those are my heartfelt opinions.

      It wouldn't off looked like that judging by your comments on here.  ;D

      Wellcome to the forum anyway.  xxxxx:action-smiley-065:

      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, heā€™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.

      Stopped reading after 'despite him having a girls name'

      What the f**k are you? 5 years old or something? Pathetic.

      I wouldnā€™t say he has a girls name if speaking to him - my god he is massive , just need to look at him towering over everyone. He looks a proper brick wall and early signs are very promising , doesnā€™t make me nervous when he gets the ball or a cross comes in

      We needed a keeper that saved us points, not cost us points, and today with that save at the end, heā€™s just saved us from dropping 2 points.

      3 games, 3 clean sheets and a great start.

      Could have done and Iā€™m sure Klopp will remind him of that. But I think he made amends with that late save.

      I think when he was delaying on the ball though was partly due to the outfield players, movement to get into a position to receive the ball just wasnā€™t as good today.

      So, you havent seen the video of him splashed all over Twitter (i was showing my wife the chip he did today and that was below it - she now likes him a lot!)....

      Back to reality, he looks like a world class keeper with everything. Makes me wonder who else Roma have!

      I hope Klopp does have a word with him! And yeah, his late save was very crucial and made amends! Also, he was very good aerially and made 2 or 3 very important punches/catches from what I remember.

      He did OK in the air, and his passing is top notch.

      I can't think of his saves as anything other than competent for a decent keeper though.

      If he has worldies in his locker, we'll see them at some point, as it's early days for him.

      They'll be praising him for this, Klopp will politely tell him not to do this again though I think.

      He said he didn't like it, so probably.

      That kind of goalkeeper, that style will cost points at some moment, as we saw even with Neuer and Ederson. But in the long term is the best solution.

      Is much more tough to play football at highest level without those passing goalkeepers. Any team can press you high when you have a traditional keeper.

      Omg what a player! He's the top player now after the heights of Petr Cech and Pepe Reina in 2000s.

      3 clean sheets in 3 matches!

      He was almost caught twice in possession and had to thank Wijnaldum for one of them. The lob was brilliant for replays but gave me a heart attack.

      However, the late save is what we got him here to do. He saved us two points in this game.

      I think the save in isolation was a pretty straight forward one and most keepers would have made it. What I was impressed with was his positioning and footwork when the cross came in; I think that probably enabled him to get there more comfortably. I think he judged it well and positioned himself closer to the near post and I also like the fact that he used both hands, not trying to go for the spectacular one hander (same with the free kick against Palace). I get the feeling our other keepers would have been caught on their heels and just stood there as the ball hit the back of the net.

      He had a few crazy moments in the match. As well as holding on to the ball too long and nearly giving it away a couple of times, he also rushed out to intercept the ball in the first half and got quite fortunate that their player got the ball mixed up in his feet or there would have been an empty net.

      All in all though, Iā€™ll take this all day of the week as he is a class above anything weā€™ve had since maybe early Pepe. His handling is fantastic, positioning is great and distribution is out of this world. Think he could quite well be the difference for us this season.

      Top notch - no issue with his decisions overall though I think the boss might say ā€œno need to pick the worldie pass every time dudeā€.

      Biggest issue was the midfield were sluggish yesterday - Gini aside - and there were a lack of options. Thatā€™s why Bobby was so deep, so often and also why Robbo pushed up into midfield most of second half. Itā€™s also why the goalie couldnā€™t pop off the passes heā€™s been doing and looked vulnerable a couple times.

      Team issues that I suspect will mean a couple changes for Leicester.

      Onwards.

      This was simply outrageous!! Can you believe they cut if from MOTD!? Was absolutely bonkers but the fact he made it look so easy. Klopp said he'd never had a Brazilian keeper before so he would have to get used to it!

      The lad has made a very solid start. Can't ask for more than three clean sheets and I think (more than anything) his impact this far has been an element of security behind our back four. Even when he was doing ok Karius was quite skittish. The side really has a proper spine now.
