Former Liverpool goalkeeper Shamal George has claimed on Twitter that Alisson remains the best in the world in his opinion, following his shocker at Anfield tonight.
Manchester City cruised to a 4-1 win over Jurgen Klopp’s side to move 10 points clear of the reigning Premier League champions, who have also played one game more.
And as good as the Sky Blues were, Alisson’s errors are going to be the main talking point.
Liverpool had only just equalised through Mo Salah when two botched passes from the Brazilian keeper inside the space of three minutes led to the visitors scoring twice.
Alisson, a £66 million signing in 2018, has been a revelation since joining the Merseyside club, but these were two massive mistakes in the context of the Reds’ title hopes.
But George, who came through the club’s Kirkby academy before leaving in 2020, has said that the former Roma stopper is still the finest in world football.
Liverpool’s domestic season is now all about qualifying for the Champions League.
City, who have won 14 games in a row, are as good as 13 points clear of Klopp’s troops – who are fourth, one point ahead of West Ham in fifth – and at this stage, defending their title seems an impossible ask.
