Whoscored stats show the dominance of Liverpool legend Alisson Becker in the Premier League this season amid his injury issues. Liverpool have won nine out of their first 10 games in all competitions before the October international break halted them.
Alisson has maintained his importance at the club under the new head coach Arne Slot despite concerns about his future. Liverpool signed Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili during the summer and loaned him back to the Spanish club immediately.
The Reds secured the future of the goalkeeping department with this move with both Alisson and Caoimhin Kelleher’s future uncertain. Nevertheless, Liverpool have enjoyed a formidable start to their season due to the fantastic defensive performances, only conceding four goals.
According to the stat-based Whoscored (via X), Alisson has the best save success rate in the Premier League this season. The 32-year-old has an 88.2% save success rate followed by Nick Pope at 81.1% and Arsenal’s David Raya at 80.6%.
While Liverpool fans adore Alisson and would not replace him for anyone, many rival fans and pundits undermine his value. Despite overlooking him during the conversation about the best keepers in the modern era, Alisson has maintained incredibly high consistency.
The Brazilian has played a pivotal role for Liverpool regardless of their struggle or success during the Jurgen Klopp era. Alisson is more than a world-class goalkeeper for Liverpool as his leadership, humility and connection with the fans make him a worthy role model.
Alisson has struggled with constant injuries since last season and missed two games this season due to a thigh problem. According to Liverpool Echo, the Brazil international suffered a hamstring tear in the away victory against Crystal Palace last weekend.
