While completely missing the point that Ali saves at least two of the goals Kelleher conceded at Utd.
Kelleher is good, Ali is still better though.
None of those goals over there were down to him. Of all the post mortem pages on the match thread, nobody held him responsible for the outcome, not even yourself, because he wasn't. Some even voted him as motm.
The decisive moments at Arsenal, were directly down to Alisson. Not much point in producing great save after great save, if he can't be trusted to just clear a ball away 2 foot off the ground, or save a tame shot hit straight at him on the floor, without conceding. We didn't pay Roma 70mn quid for that.
It was not the first time, or the second, or the third, it's a regular occurrence, and sometimes it results in goals conceded. You really can't teach a goalkeeper in his thirties, how to clear his lines properly. It's basic stuff. He either can or he can't. And if he can't, then he's clearly not the best keeper in the world.
There's nothing he can do that Kelleher can't. He's been nothing short of perfect for the past couple of months, and he's been a fantastic servant over the past 5 years. As I said, I barely notice Alisson is absent, let alone miss him.
