I think we need some proof of this one.I picked De Gea in my mixed XI.
Alisson Becker | Budding Target Man

Uglier version of Mike Bisping.
It's funny that he thinks he isn't competing with DDG to see who is the best goalkeeper in the world. He is right though, it really isn't a competition between them I swear keepers and defenders doesn't need to actually defend and make saves anymore to be highly rated, they only need to look cool while passing the ball.

My cat died yesterday so I'm not really really that high on luck
Sorry to hear that
Hopefully Becker's mistake made you smile
That's a reaction to be expected when every good game of him result to our resident Liverpool fans labeling him "best in the world" or "better than De Gea". He's a good keeper, but "best in the world" HE IS NOT, maybe within few season he'll come good but right now he isn't.

I had De Gea and Pogba actually.
Wow, it’s almost, almost like the supposedly best keeper in the league didn’t make a howler last week. Like you can’t be a good keeper if you make a mistake. Wow.
Based on one game/error vs Loris who's played for Spurs for 5 years and consistently shit the bed in that time? Apt and meaningful comparison mate.
Like I said, I wouldn’t swap him for anyone. One mistake in an easy win doesn’t make a poor player. DDG’s horrendous distribution could have cost goals today but he’s still a world class keeper.
Don't be so harsh, they don't have much else
People were laughing because Pool fans tried to hype him as better than de Gea.
He fecked up today, nothing to argue with. Still, Alisson is in top 10 keepers playing right now. He saved us many points, and lost us none so far. No other keeper would be significant upgrade from him, only slight.
DDG has made times more errors this year. Does not mean he's average.

he gave us a laugh anyway - about the only one, mind
Based on watching him for Roma and watching him for you this season. What is that, 3 errors leading to goals already this season?
He barely gets tested (you have the best defensive record in the league) but he is still making mistakes. Very much capable of brain farts and I think we will see that across the entire season.
The best defensive record in the league -- which is down to him is it not?
How many points has he cost us? 0
One feck up doesn't mean anything, but still thought it was a bit premature/crazy all these proclamations that he's the best keeper in the league/world whatever.
He's not even better then Ederson for me.

I haven't actually seen a Liverpool fan claim Alisson is better than De Gea, although it won't be long until he actually is if the current trajectory's of both carry on.
According to BeIn Sports no keeper has made more mistakes which have led directly to goals than Alisson this season.
On par for me. Worse in distribution but better in other areas.
Way better than the likes of Lloris imo, who’s a mistake waiting to happen every other game.
I am really sorry. My reply was to Giorno's post below you who said that De Gea's problem with Spain has nothing to do with his relatively poor distribution. Somehow I screwed up and ended up replying to your post. My bad.

Purely down to him? No. You have a really good back 4.
He's definitely a part of your improvement (A hell of a lot better than Karius/Mignolet) but he's still not as good as somebody like De Gea, he's in the category below which is where I also put Lloris.
Lloris makes a few errors, but is also a fantastic shot stopper and reliable a vast majority of the time. I imagine he will make a similar number of errors leading to goals as Alisson this season, whilst being an equally good shot stopper. The amount of points he has cost you is pretty irrelevant, he's lucky to have a very good team around him which has meant when he does make mistakes it hasn't cost you. Against Leicester and tonight he could easily have cost you four points but you went ahead and won regardless.
I'd say superior to the Lloris of now (who had a poor season last, and a very bad start though has recovered it recently and been excellent) but 16/17 Lloris was easily on par with this Alisson for me.
I thought a couple of DDG's saves today were not far off of being goal savers, not out of his very best catalogue but a few GKs would have shipped 5-6 today.
Meanwhile up the other end... the new World Number One is clearing the first cross of the game with his knee isn't it?
It's not even close, lads.

Congrats then, I’m sure you’re happy with having the better goalkeeper while we easily won the game.

that's more or less it, tbh -
Alisson's distribution was excellent today. Doesn't panic. Gets attacks going very quickly. The ultimate sweeper-keeper.
This.
For me De Gea is easily the best still in the league - but Alison has probably sneaked into second place. Great keeper for you
Mane showed Milik exactly how to finish when in that position. Basically don't hit it right at the keeper.
You could say Alisson harassed Milik much quicker than DDG did to Mane
So it's 65 Million for Alissssspillison ?!
Sadly true.
Posting it twice doesn't make it any funnier.
I think de Gea is still the best GL in the league but when it comes to distrubution and sweeping Alisson is probably better. Although DDG came very quickly of his line one time today but Firmino (i think it was him) was offside anyway.
He’s great with the ball at his feet.
But I don’t think he’s all that as a keeper. Decent but nothing special. Nowhere near the best keeper in the world.
