Alisson Becker’s performance this year, in which the Liverpool custodian has once again proven why he is among the greatest in the world, has been praised by Robbie Earle.
The Brazilian international, who was undoubtedly the Man of the Match against Tottenham this past weekend despite Liverpool losing 2-1, received high accolades from the analyst on The 2 Robbies.
Last season, Alisson, a 30-year-old custodian, was voted Liverpool’s Player of the Season after helping to prevent the Reds from completely disintegrating.
And this season, the former AS Roma star has once again been excellent, earning praise from Earle for his work at Anfield.
The commentator noted that Alisson had made two or three outstanding saves that few goalkeepers in the league could match.
“His recent performance; Almiron’s spectacular save at Newcastle away; last weekend; another superb save. As the team was, he is back sharp and at the top of his game. I felt terrible for Liverpool.”
Without Alisson, Liverpool would struggle this year.
Based on recent performances, Alisson is conceivably the finest custodian in the Premier League, and the Liverpool star proved this against Tottenham this past weekend.
Without the Brazilian’s heroics, the Reds might have lost the game, and this story has played out in most important games over the past 12 months.
Indeed, Alisson has improved his performance for Liverpool, and the improvement in calibre has been essential to the Reds’ success this season.
