1. Learning curve for Alisson
Alisson Becker’s composure on the ball has been a joy to watch for Liverpool fans so far this season, however it was slightly different at the King Power.
From a loose ball played back to the Brazilian goalkeeper by Virgil van Dijk, Alisson attempted a Cruyff turn with Kelechi Iheanacho pressing him.
He went on to lose the ball to the Nigerian, who squared it for new winger Rachid Ghezzal to pull one back for the Foxes. It’s something that he has to learn from; and never repeat.
His post match comments seem to reflect that. He said: “I won’t be stupid to make the same mistake. (The dribble) is part of my game but I will not be arrogant enough to say that I will keep doing (it).” That’s exactly what we want to hear.
