Not even the best keeper in the premier league city have the best.

The city game doesn’t change the fact that Alisson is much better than Ederson.

Without the rose tinted glasses Alisson not performing at the same level as city keeper. It’s easy to say we have the best keeper the best cbs the best midfield and the best front 3.

Not at the minute, but Alisson is still the better keeper.

One cracking save yesterday.

I guess it helps having an understanding with your back 4. Who’d have thought :thinking:

Not sure about that or how you quantify it either. Just from watching football my opinion is Ederson is better with his feet and his distribution seems better to me. Alisson is maybe the slightly better shotstopper but it’s marginal I think.
Ali is certainly the best keeper we’ve had for years regardless of his current form or recent mistakes.

It’s not slightly when comes to shot stopping and they’re about even on distribution.

They’re not even on distribution, Ederson is far better with his feet than Alisson. If the stats say otherwise that’s indicative of poor statistical analysis.

Alisson is a much better goalkeeper when it comes to more traditional stuff like commanding his box and making saves, recent poor form aside.

Ederson is more adventurous with the ball. He’ll try things more creatively and be fancier with his footwork. Alisson will try and release the ball quickly and create simple counter attack opportunities and he’s not as silky with his footwork. But on a very simple level they’re the two most accurate distributors of the ball. Maybe Alisson can’t be as creative and doesn’t have as fancy footwork but the simplicity of his distribution could also be down to instructions and I think the “don’t piss about too much with the ball at your feet” is an instruction I agree with.

The biggest issue with him is how many games he misses with injury probably good for a half dozen maybe more a season.

Ederson is just better. He looks far more comfortable with the ball and is even better than Ali at starting counters. It’s that simple really, regardless of instruction.

I’d still take Alisson every single time, but distribution wise it’s a no contest really.

Yeah I think Ederson is better on the ball. Stats or not. Seeing that assist to Gundogen (regardless of that centre backs fuck up) was unreal. Think he has more assists than Thiago and Wijnaldum this season. That says a lot.

Alisson is a better shot stopper though.

He may be a little off form decision wise but for me he is the best keeper in the league overall and what impresses me is how he just holds on to everything, yesterday a low shot was fizzed into him and there players were following in ready for a fumble, but he just hoovers them up nice and calm like … wish the rest of his game was as calm!

Michael Owen has urged Klopp to stick with Alisson through thick and thin,amazing that Owen gets paid for being a pundit,little annoying cunt.

Has Klopp got a choice? I could be a pundit if that’s all you have to say, the obvious. :frowning:

Not sure you’re any good at that mate.
