Pretty much. Every pass he makes has been drooled over, every routine save made out to be amazing, it got pretty tiresome and I hope this error just calms down the hype machine a tad. I get that Liverpool fans are used to Karius/Mignolet, but this guy hasn't really done anything all that special yet and an error has definitely been coming.

Mate laugh all you want I'm not saying you can't, I'm more concerned that they finally seem to be doing the right things and sorting out their defence. Like I said I'd be laughing if they dropped points because of it alas they didn't.
Also, there is a difference between being a 'ball playing keeper', and being arrogant to the max and showboating like this guy has on a number of occasions. He's taken touches where the risk simply isn't necessary and overestimated himself and this will be a lesson for him.
Arrogance getting punished, that’s what’s funny. The fact that it’s liverpool’s world class keeper la, makes it just that tad more funny. Even if they still won the game.
What’s with the fun sponges round here?

If you find it funny knock yourself out, I never said you couldn't. At the end of the day it makes very little difference to the result. Say it had been a mistake to make it 1-1 or even go a goal down I would have been fist pumping you all.
Did you not find the mistake Lloris made in the WC final slightly amusing?
Sometimes things are just funny, regardless of if it has an impact on the match. It's like when somebody misses an absolute sitter, even if the team he plays for goes on to win 6-0 the miss itself is still amusing.
I'm a miserable bastard tonight, spending most of the day at an indoor soft play kids place may have effected my judgment.
But, honestly as a fan I love to see GKs and CBs attempting things like this even if it occasionally gets punished. It adds excitement to the game I want to see more GKs with the confidence to showboat like Alisson does.
I'm not laughing. I'm just addressing you're incredulity that people on a United forum would dare to take pleasure in a Liverpool player fecking up royally when they've arrived with such fanfare.
IM not ridiculing you I stated what I though after watching the match highlights, I'd rather they had of dropped points because of it, like
I said above I'm a miserable so and so this evening.

Really? I want my keeper/cb to be comfortable on the ball rather than panicky, and certainly want them to have quality, but the last thing I want is them doing things which are unnecessary. You're in positions where if you make an error the chance of the opponents scoring is very high, showboating should not be top of your agenda.
well that’s OK, take it out on us - not on the kids!Buddy, I'm having one of the worst days of my life, gotta find little things like this amusing
Really funny here. At least United fans have something to laugh, an error from Alisson.
Maybe he needed an error like to this to stop thinking he is the Ronaldinho of the goalkeepers.

Not sure if that's addressed to me as you didn't quote, but i wasn't accusing you of ridiculing. I said i was addressing you're incredulity at people finding it funny.

Actually I just sat through all of March of the day with a bottle of beer and maybe had 2 mouthfuls of it, just wasn't happening
.Don't get much for £70m these days.
I hope he’s not planning on doing dribbles and Cruyff turns every week. That sort of thing can cost you against the better sides. Imagine if he tries that against City!
Joking aside I'm just glad it cuts the hype train down a bit. Some of the stuff earlier in this thread was massively OTT. Good keeper but not the very best a la De Gea, Neuer, Oblak
He seems to be quite a risk taker as you say!
Well Ederson is going to be trying the same at the other end.
Ugh, I thought my heart will settle down this season, looks like that's not happening if so.
'Supports: Millwall'
You sure you watched the game? Surely you were off at an EDL march or something?
Beside the one mistake " CR7 goal" what did he do wrong?
Loris Becker
So many posters waiting for the one mistake from him, so they can laugh out loud and let everybody know how average and overpriced he is. The same happened with van Dijk. One mistake, and this place went nuts in lol emojis.
Stupid mistake, and he really needs to sort it out, but imo the real funny thing about him is, that he has generally been class so far and has conceded one goal in four games despite a defence consisting of VvD and three youngsters

Apart from having the fewest saves of any keeper in the WC since 1966 with 1 save in 4 games. The penalty shootout was also bad for him and should have saved Cherychevs weak spot kick.
Not bashing him as he is great for Utd but just a bit of perspective that one mistake doesn't make you a bad keeper.
Just watched the highlights, what a cnut
Na, there wasn’t one on. Did you pick up plenty of hubcaps whilst all the away fans travelled too then?
He should watch how De Gea skinned Mladen Petric back in 2012. That's how you do it.
He's a cocky goalie, so it was just a matter of time until his first mistake arrived.

It does move him from ''Greatest Ever With the Ball at his Feet - Reflecting More Tactical Genius from Klopp'' to ''Hopeless Showboating cnut'' though, on a Utd Forum at least,
.''I'm way out of my goal, the backpass has nailed me to the deadball line, I need to be careful I don't hook this straight back along the ground (quite a good first touch for avoiding that tbf, nicely out from 'under his feet') I'll just try the Cruyff turn...'' It's horriffic decision-making apart from the ludicrous execution. I think we're right & entitled to take the piss.

Not sure you really get how football rivalry works..
Is Robbie Williams still trying to play up front for you guys by the way?

VVD made another too. Horendous back pass. Both no where near the top of their trades.
Over payment central.
Nice to see stereotyping is still alive and well in 2018.
Haha yeah he would probably strengthen our attack to be fair.
Long season ahead for us too
He’s got a long way to go before he can be compared with the very best. Games like Spurs and Chelsea away will be the time to judge him.
To reiterate I think more GKs should try tricks. It adds excitement.
