      Although I'm too young to remember Clemence, which probably makes my vote a bit void, I'm going with Alisson.

      The most complete goalkeeper I've seen in a Liverpool shirt. Makes it look so easy with impeccable positioning and timing whilst his distribution takes the piss.

      Ray Clemence stands out for me, although I can even remember Tommy Lawrence, nicknamed the flying pig who played in the sixties for the club.

      I witnessed Friedel, James, Westerveld, Dudek, Reina, Mignolet, Karius and Alisson. Out of them, Alisson is the greatest but from videos I watched Clemence was better.

      Ray Clemence was head and shoulders above for consistency and over a long term. He would have had many more international caps if that fat w**ker Peter Shilton hadn't been noshing off Bobby Robson. What a pair of creepy cu*ts they were.
      Clem was like a third centre half, a brilliant shot stopper, and his distribution was top drawer. One season, cant remember which without looking it up, he conceded just 4 goals at Anfield. Yeah, not in a match, not in a calander month, not just F A Cup rounds. The whole F***ing season !
      Tommy Lawrence before him was brilliant one minute, but prone to a clanger the next.
      Grobbelarr who replaced Clem was probably the most athletic keeper I've ever seen, but didn't outshine clem for me.
      Pepe another with brilliant distribution and probably top 2 or 3 in his time, but for me, nothing surpasses Ray Clemence.
      Perhaps its my age and a bit of nostalgia creeping in, but my all time greatest keeper ever.

      Type of thing I was after. I have only heard how good he was.

      For me, ability wise, Alisson is the best I've seen but feeling a bit educated now.

      I would have gone for Pepe if it was a vote for the Goalie who celebrated every goal with gusto.
      Clemence was incredible and remember when he played Goalkeepers were fair game for strikers to knock chunks out of. He was incredibly agile some of his saves simply out of this world. 16 goals in 42 league games is just incredible.
      However I wouldn't have anyone else in the world right now ahead of Allison he is simply the very best there is right now

      Though he's only been here a short while, I've seen enough to think Alisson will be our best ever goalkeeper. I can barely remember Clemence, but he is a firm second.

      Never saw Clemence so it's easy for me. Alisson is so phenomenal that he makes all those torturous years of Mignolet in goal worth it.

      The three mentioned are all 'keepers at the top of their game, they were/are all internationals and could walk into any top flight team in the world,
      On the day it would be impossible to put one above the other or guage their respective importance to LFC.

      Clemence was awesome and as you mention carried that brilliance for many years, the 'flying pig' who he succeeded had some F***ing howlers and in the day at Anfield there was a mutual gasp whenever the ball was in his vicinity, nobody had a clue just what his reaction would be. 
      Thankfully Lawrence had more good games than bad as opposed to Clem who was the model of consistency.

      By popularity then. Results are also influenced by age distribution or the generation of this board. It's another great way of looking at it.

      I can top that with a Patrice Luzi, but where's the mentions for Pegguy eh?

      :lmao:

      Probably in all seriousness it has to be Clemence.

      Alisson though looks a big time keeper and already I'd have him as the best keeper we've had in the prem era.

      The records and stories suggest that Elisha Scott has, at the very least, got to be in this conversation as well. Though I doubt there's any on here who would of saw him play.
