Kweev is great, but my point is that his great performances are the top of his current game. Alisson's return from injury was marked by some shaky performances, but he has so much more he can pull out from his toolbox. I argue that his 1v1 intervention intelligence is unmatched. #GKUNION #LFC - ThreadSky

Good as he is (and he is very good, as we all know), I very much doubt that Kelleher would have kept a clean sheet last night. That performance was in Lev Yashin, Gordon Banks territory, although they used to do it regularly.

Fair point, and FWIW I never suggested Alisson be replaced by Kelleher despite Kweev's better stats this season. My bigger concern has been how keepers perform as they get on the wrong side of 30. Ali is rounding back into top form and we have a highly capable backup should he be needed.

No, there were some very loud voices against Alisson's return, especially on the other platform.
Well, goalkeepers have a longer shelf life (aka Zoff life), so fingers crossed we see more of top Alisson. 😀

not sure about that - I always thought keepers were reaching their prime in their mid30s; maybe Alisson is different with his history of injuries..?

Neuer is in the convo for GOAT and he’s played recently - current era - and hasn’t aged particularly well according to the advanced stats.

Neuer also hasn't helped his case. Breaking your leg skiing doesn't exactly help your career. 😱

Alisson has six years on Neuer...

Exactly, meaning we have a GOAT quality keeper who has gone through what Alisson will be going through over the next 5 seasons.

Just need Alisson to maintain his form for the remainder of this season.
