Carragher comfirms my claim.
Reds legend Jamie Carragher believes Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson is as important to JĆ¼rgen Kloppās side as centre-back Virgil van Dijk.
Alisson claimed a sixth-straight clean sheet against Tottenham Hotspur yesterday. The Reds were 1-0 victors away from home thanks to Roberto Firminoās first-half strike. Liverpool currently possess a 16-point lead at the top of the table.
Once the match finished up, Carragher certainly gave an honest opinion on Alisson. Despite the fact Van Dijk receives most of the plaudits, Carragher believes Alisson is a key reason why the Reds are solid in defence.
āI think the goalkeeper is equally as important as Van Dijk. His performance today, youād look at and think āhe didnāt make a great saveā, he never makes a great save! Thatās the sign of a great ākeeper, everything looks easy,ā Carragher told Sky Sports after the match.
āAgainst Spurs in the Champions League final, it was very similar to some of the efforts they had today. They were in semi-chances or half-chances and he dealt with it so easily. He catches everything and he makes it all look so easy.
āListen, we speak about Van Dijk and heās amazing, a massive influence, I think equally as much is the goalkeeper.ā
