Imagine this team up against peak 08-09 Liverpool.

Yeah. Miles better innit?

Very close. The reason we didn't win the league that year was squad depth only.

Absolutely delighted with this signing! Well done to all involved.

Welcome to the best club in the world lad!

Seems really comfortable speaking English so communication shouldn't be an issue with the back four.

to be honest I think most defenders will understand their goalkeeper screaming "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?" in any language.

Looking at those gifs, next time we're in the 89th minute at Old Trafford and need a goal we could do worse then sending the big lad up front - seems to have all the skills!

Spines are roughly on par; but the sheer weight of talent in the current squad in all departments, especially the wings, definitely swings it to the new lads imo. Which is no disservice to 10 years ago because that was a fucking amazing team.

Living Legends · « **Reply #329 on:** July 20, 2018, 11:31:26 am »

He exudes confidence too which is great in a keeper, not over confident but absolute conviction in his ability.
Just like VVD...
Exactly what is required when the pressure is on.

I do hope the Allison purchase means that the online Karius abuse heightens to a level that is unbearable for the player. I really want him to fully understand the sheer scale of his errors - I will not rest easy until I feel Karius is properly punished...

...or maybe we could just leave the poor fella now.

Red Beret · « **Reply #331 on:** July 20, 2018, 12:23:38 pm »

I am beyond annoyed. Alisson is not yet available on Fantasy Football. He's the sole reason I've signed up again!

EDIT: Oh, he's just come on now in the last few minutes.

Alisson: Liverpool's world-record signing from Roma is 'goalkeeper of the future'

Roma goalkeeping coach Marco Savorani deserves a great share of the credit in the blossoming of Alisson.

Savorani was also behind Wojciech Szczesny's progression. The former Arsenal goalkeeper came on leaps and bounds under his guidance, so much so that Juventus chose him to be Buffon's successor.

Can we get this guy as well then.

Our keepers seem to have an alarming habit of going backwards recently. That must have at least something to do the coaching.

Not sure what you're getting at? I'm on the record here saying I'd have very few of that team in our current squad. When I say it was amazing I say it in the context of the time it played.

Mignolet is exactly what he was before he joined us. Karius is a still a young keeper. has very little to do with coaching.

You can't coach mentality and concentration. You either have it or you don.t

Zlen · « **Reply #342 on:** July 20, 2018, 01:02:54 pm »

Scoring one goal will now be enough to take the game away from most teams we’ll face.

What a delicious thought.

is Karius not just a year younger than Becker? Then again, last year Becker was reserve keeper behind the Pole formerly of Arsenal.

Talent and ability. You can coach all you want, but some players are more talented than others, and no amount of coaching changes that. Becker is the more talented goalie between the two, regardless of age.

Coaching helps you but you have to have something to begin with. They [coaches] aren't magicians.

If he sustains his performance from last year, I think it's the best signing we've made this summer (including Keita), and probably the best signing we could have realistically made at any position, full-stop. And despite the headline world record fee, I think 65 million is actually *cheap*, again, if he sustains his performance.

The market for elite keepers is not exactly liquid, so we don't really know what the best would go for (in their primes). Now add the crazy transfer fee inflation of the last 2 years, and the fact that keepers may be significantly undervalued at the moment, and you can see how 65 million doesn't sound so bad!
