Alisson Becker’s Season Review: A Deep Dive into Liverpool’s Star Goalkeeper

Whatever the injuries and whatever the rumours, we’re still talking bout the world’s number one. As the curtain falls on the Premier League 23/24 season, it’s time to reflect on the performances of one of Liverpool’s stalwart players, Alisson Becker. The Brazilian goalkeeper has been a key figure for Liverpool, providing stability and confidence at the back. Here’s an in-depth look at his season, highlighting his standout moments and areas for improvement.

Headline Numbers

Alisson’s presence between the sticks has been significant throughout the season. With 28 Premier League appearances, he has accumulated a total of 2,520 minutes on the pitch in all competitions. During these matches in the premier league, Alisson conceded 30 goals and managed to secure 8 clean sheets. These numbers showcase his consistency and reliability as Liverpool’s last line of defence. Kelleher was the starter in the Carabao Cup Final victory and having been a regular contender for the golden glove, he and Liverpool will be disappointed with that total.

Biggest High

One of the most memorable moments of Alisson’s season came in the thrilling match against Newcastle United. His save from Miguel Almiron’s powerful goal-bound strike was nothing short of sensational, earning him the highest WhoScored.com rating of 7.68 for a single match this season. This save not only showcased his exceptional reflexes but also his ability to perform under pressure, making it a highlight of Liverpool’s campaign. It’s a contender and should quite rightly win the save of the season in the votes.

Biggest Low

However, the season was not without its lows for Alisson. His lowest point came during the away game at Arsenal, where an uncharacteristic error on combination with Van Dijk led to an Arsenal goal, putting Liverpool behind. This match earned him his lowest WhoScored.com rating of the season at 5.03. Furthermore, Alisson’s campaign was marred by injuries, particularly a hamstring issue that saw him sidelined during critical stages of the Europa League and domestic competitions. This allowed Caoimhin Kelleher to step up, nearly matching Alisson’s appearances, highlighting the importance of squad depth.

Overall Thoughts

Reflecting on Alisson’s season, it is clear that he remains one of the world’s top goalkeepers if not the best. His statistics demonstrate his vital role in Liverpool’s defence, with moments of brilliance that have undoubtedly contributed to the team’s successes. Despite the setbacks of injuries and occasional errors, Alisson’s quality and resilience shine through. Looking ahead to the next season, the focus for Alisson will be on maintaining his fitness and consistency. With Liverpool aiming for more silverware under Slot, Alisson’s role will be crucial. The continued support in role of goalkeeping coach Claudio Taffarel should hopefully put pay to any Saudi or foreign interest.
