Liverpool made it four wins from four in the Premier League but the moment of the game was provided by Alisson and not for the right reasons.
The Brazilian didn’t concede a goal in the three games and Liverpool were leading 2-0 in the second half when he made a huge error. Alisson received a pass from Virgil van Dijk and instead of blasting it away, he tried to be clever in his penalty box.
The keeper was tackled and dispossessed clumsily by Kelechi Iheanacho, following which Rachid Ghezzal scored to make it 2-1.
Liverpool had to hold out for the win as Leicester tried to get a second goal. The Reds were poor in the second half and had we taken our chances, the game would have been out of sight in the first half itself.
As the players head off for the international break, there will be concerns about our goalkeeping department and here are some reactions from the Liverpool fans.
Alisson gifted away a goal, so that other goalies wouldn’t get jealous. What a guy!

Alisson’s error didn’t cost Liverpool the 3 points and can now learn from his mistake with no regret. #LFC

At least Alisson took a risk with a two goal lead today. Jürgen needs to have a word. #LFC

Klopp: “Alisson we need you to carry us today”
Carry Us

Alisson needs to stop the fancy shit. I don’t care if he’s confident with the ball, all he had to do was clear it there. Just no need sometimes. #LFC

Yes that was poor decision making from Alisson but let’s calm the nonsense about Brazilian Karius etc can we? One mistake he is shit 🤦🏻♂️

Plenty for Klopp and his staff to work on before the next game, but three more points for #LFC, who retain their 100% record and stay top. Alisson won’t (shouldn’t) need too much telling about his little moment, but he needs to learn from it.

Agreed that mistake needed to happen to calm him down with the showboating and it didn’t cost us in the grand scheme of things sad to lose the clean sheet in that way tho
