Why do you say he has had more protection than Migs, do you mean VVD as the rest of the defence have been there for a bit and as for Karius he had the exact same protection yet was worse? Has it occurred to you that one of the reasons why VVD and the rest of the defence has improved so much this season is because they finally has a goalkeeper they can rely on.
So I'll ask the question I ask all critics of Allison, which you might be surprised to hear is a very small group! Who in your opinion is better in the premiership and can you back that up with any stats?
Because he does, and even a super hyperbolic person as yourself should be seeing this. Do you not remember the early years of Klopp, where we'd give up high quality chances every game? or could not defend a set piece? back then people were saying Klopp only knows how to attack, has no plan b, that we could not hold a lead, etc, etc? How quickly you forget.
Van Dijk coming aboard has been the single most important addition to how we defend and set up. Just for the shits and giggles, how many teams allowed fewer goals than us the 2nd half (19 games) of last season? name them
Then we have this season, where we've added Fabinho and Klopp himself has said we are more methodical and conservative than in the past, which everyone has seen with their very own eyes. When has Migs played with such a cohesive defensive unit / team?
I know i know, you will take this as me saying Migs =/> Alisson, but i am not. I am simply stating that the circumstances under which each of them played when they were/are the #1 are vastly differemt.
