Alisson has made a big impact at Liverpool so far.
Summer signing Alisson has made the desired impact at Liverpool.
Goalkeeper is no longer seen as the team’s weak point, with the Reds now possessing the meanest defence in the league, conceding the fewest goals.
Since joining from Roma in a big money move, Alisson has been impressive.
He has been the subject of praise this week from Liverpool under-23 goalkeeping coach Mark Morris.
Morris told Liverpool’s official website that Alisson’s reflexes are the quickest he has ever seen.
He said: “He’s the quickest I’ve seen. You strike a ball and as you strike the ball, you look up and you see the ‘keeper going. I was striking the ball, looking up and he was already there. He’s remarkably quick.
“In terms of goalkeeping, he doesn’t take chances. If it needs to go, in terms of his handling, he doesn’t try to catch something that he’s struggling with – it goes. His decision-making is very, very good. He has a footballing brain and he’s very, very quick.”
Alisson’s Liverpool have only lost one Premier League game all season and are closing in on the title.
Whether they or Manchester City end up winning this year’s title, Alisson’s arrival signals a shift at Anfield, with the goalkeeper position locked down and secured for years to come.
That’s reason for Liverpool to be excited, and he appears worth the money already.
