Alisson Becker Player Thread

Not going to put the boot into him, the guy has had what sounds like a crazy year of ups and downs. New dad, loses his dad under weird circumstances. You'd forgive any regular bloke for being a bit sh*t at his job for awhile after that. These guys are all still humans so when there's a huge noticeable dip in their play and it can be attribute to something in their personal life, probably best to show them some grace.

Of course, we are just discussing current form, same as Mane.

Being that far off his line is partly what allows us to play such a high line, but he has been very average this season.

What high line ..? When your keeper is sweeping or distributing then the keeper is out his box but running far out to be chipped is criminal...

Look at his position in Madrid’s first 2 goals...

He had regressed the past two years. I'm not picking on him, it just is what it is. Cant quite out my fingers on it, but he has definitely been struggling. Position, distribution, and shot stopping have all gone backwards.

It can't be helping the defenders looking round and seeing Ron Burgundy in goal. Lose the 'tache Ali, it's f***in shockin!

It's gone! 

It's gone! 

Someone's definitely shown him the Freddie Mercury pisstake.

for sure!

He's probably on here mate and saw my post. 

Get a feeling he wants to move on... his performances have been poor...

He has been sh*t for a while now, his last 4 shots against him went in for 4 goals. Honestly think he should have saved all 4.

You have this with all goalkeepers once in a while, just as sometimes your strikers do not score on consecutive occasions. You have to look at the big picture. And though I think Alisson is overrated he's better than Mig was.

Needs to get his sh*t together if we want to have any chance of top 4.

I think he tried to flick the ball & not stop it...

Im nonplussed with him this season..

Most, if not all keepers would have saved that with their foot but na, our Ali has to go down and let it slide in under him.

FFS, the lads must be smashing it in training and hitting everything past him. He looks timid now, lost confidence.

Watching the replay of the game, that was a really poor effort on him for the goal. Sunday league keeping.

Kinda weird isn't it, he's gone from one of the best goal keepers in the world and now been looking average for couple of months. What is it with these keepers?

DeGea also been throwing average performances in over the last couple of seasons after being No 1 for so long. Wish I could explain it but I can't.

Complacency Keith.

De Gea had no competition for his position until this season. Low and behold his form improves as soon as he sees how good Henderson is.

Well based on recent events it's a possibility because DeGea has improved. However, DeGea still stays on his line far to much for me whereas Henderson has no hesitation coming off it when needed, it's a trate I love to see in goalkeepers.

Not that I'd even want De Gea at our Club but that goal Villa scored, could see De Gea stopping that with his feet easily. Ali went down to the ground to try to save that!

Of course you wouldn't he's a manc  DeGea stops shots with his legs more than the average keeper as it appears to be his trade mark, obviously works ( well it did) because he came No 1 for years. I know he's no longer No1 but still better than Ali 

I would support Alisson with all he went through. He gave us two brilliant seasons! Next season, he will be better.

He has to be and be back to his old self, otherwise there needs to be a goalie conversation and who to replace him with. You look at the goals he gifted City at Anfield, then Leicester soon thereafter, the goal yesterday and the 3rd goal against Madrid as 5 goals conceded from individual errors or stops a goalie needs to make, and there are probably more as well as his overall substandard level.

This current version of Alisson is not good enough for a team that will have league and European title aspirations.

Might not sit well with some but I’d swap Ali for Oblak in a heartbeat..,

Give him a f***in chance to be back to his old form. His father's death isn't helping either.

YNWA Alisson.

I don't think anyone is saying he should be moved this summer, therefore giving him the opportunity to get back to his old form, which dipped long before his father's unfortunate death.

If next season we get this year's version of Alisson, then a conversation about replacing him is merited.

Of course but this season everyone has dropped.

Showed his class tonight with the double save.

Our best player tonight after Trent.

Brilliant keeper having a tough few months

Anyone making sounds to replace Ali is daft as a brush.
