Redknapp was waxing lyrical about us all game though to be fair. I think a lot of ex-players who become pundits try to even the scales when commentating regardless of how uninformed the comment may be. Perhaps they worry too much about the legions of screaming Mancs and Blues all over social media whinging about bias. I never listen to them properly anyway. Only interested in the game itself.

Yeah, I've no idea why some actually sit there and listen to pundits. I don't watch any half-time or full-time analysis, I couldn't care less what the pundits think about the match I just watched.

[clinical]

Must have been nervous today, as all the players but was absolutely fine.

Just think he's getting paid £110k a week to watch the best attack in world football ahead of him.

I normally don't as most talk bollocks, just thought it was a bit much him having a dig when the keeper did fuck all wrong.

[Lubeh]

Clean Sheet and top of the league and people complaining .. oh my!
When people say what if a west ham player would have been then i think he would have seen and thought it was safe to punch

I actually thought he may of being sarcastic

[rob1966]

Nah, he was being a cliched prick.

[Scousebeef]

His first league game and his first clean sheet. Lets hope there are many more. 

[classycarra]

That missile kick early on (maybe 20 minutes in) to Salah's chest straight down the middle to the centre circle was incredible technique

[newterp]

It was nice to keep the clean sheet as it would have started unnecessary comparisons with what Kept did yesterday if he hadn't

[farawayred]

When is he going to play for us? Can't wait to see him in action...

[Boaty McBoatface]

Because he had so little to do, I wanted him to go sprinting up for the corner at the end.

You need a Pam Ayres poem about you.

I think not only will he save us points  this season but I can see well get one or two goals from a quick direct pass to the forwards from him.

[hesbighesred]

He's immensely talented and was quality on the ball but I'm a little worried that he's rooted to his line on corners. Proactivity on corners/crosses was really impressive from Karius in the second half of last season, and seemed to have fixe what had been a real weakness for us. That said, regardless of if that is a thing - and obviously it's way to soon to tell - that's something that both Mugs and Karius seemed to improve on hugely under Achterburg.

I think where he'll make the biggest difference is actually against bus parking teams, same with Fabinho. He's yet another player who can break lines and find gaps in defences, I'd say we can field a team with 9 or maybe even 10 players who can do that in one way we or another now. That'll make a big difference in those games.

Presume you only mean corners, since he came out to claim the only cross I remember them making

To be honest none of West Ham's corners were in an area to sensibly come out to claim. Needs minor work but it's something that keepers tend to mature at and become better at with age and being placed in those scenarios.

[El Ninos Black Eye]

Dunno why Redknapp is getting stick, he's right about that save from Alisson, he palmed it straight down the middle of the box and we got lucky no West Ham players were in that area.

Yes but it didn’t! No need for Redknapps comments he did exactly what he could there and got it out of the danger area. Where as a lot of keepers will make a great save then it will fall to a striker to score. One of Alisson’s biggest strengths is that he will make a save but always parry/punch it away from danger as well.  As has already been said he sees it late coz of Van dijk so does the right thing and gets it away. You could say any clearance by any player could fall to an opposition player but doesn’t.  Watch some of his saves he makes for Roma and how he gets such a strong arm on them he clears it from the danger area. It’s clearly something he works on

[SpartanTree. No deccies or lights.]

Massive fan of signing him to do absolutely nothing but look gorgeous in yellow on a match day- long may it continue

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Shout out to the woman who kept shrieking whenever he was pressed and when he lost the ball

That Roma fan was right when he said he will make a few shit themselves at first with his calmness on the ball.

What corners could he have come for yesterday?

[bravarado7]

Couldn't have asked for more in his first competitive game - clean sheet, looked confident on the ball and that kick to Salah

Could hear her loud and clear on the TV when he misplaced the pass.

[El Ninos Black Eye]

People need to get used to this and just relax and just realise that he’s got this

[Bobinhood]

Allison, TAA, Gomez, VVD and Robertson

Is it just me or is that freakish fast set of quality defenders as a group? like, is anybody anywhere faster than that, cb's included?

[Clint Eastwood]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mO4B6yRPCZE 1:20 and 2:03... it's amazing, could have even been a bloke

Watching his highlights back again though, I can see him getting a couple of assists. At one point he tries to release Mo early with a drop kick. He's a not far off putting him through.

I think that was Killer Heels...

[Kansti]

Is he getting the #1 or not?

[sms1986]

Is he getting the #1 or not?

I don’t see why it matters, personally.

[Kansti]

I don’t see why it matters, personally.

It bothers me that I don't know if its going to be AL1SSON, or A-13ECKER, personally.

[simbo]

The season has started so that answers your question

Thanks Scotty.

[DelTrotter]

*drools*. Adore him.

[steashy]

great tonight, he made the saves he needed to make but his distribution is brilliant his passing range for a keeper is top drawer
puts us on the front foot all the time

[Dim Glas]

A central midfielder would have been happy with Alisson's body of passing work tonight.

[Zoomers]

It shows that the defense fully trust him - he knows how to control the ball and deflect the pressure from the opposition.

[Escorcio]

Some of his kicking was ridiculous
Under pressure and picking out Robertson on the left wing

[Hazell]

It's like having a cross between Schmeichel and Alonso in goal.

[Angelius]

Watched him a bit more closely today as I really haven't watched him that closely before. Have to say, he's a huge, huge improvement in the position. Even beyond his impressive technique, you can just tell that he is a really intelligent footballer. He just makes the right decision most of the time. Also, his long range kicking is really, really good too. It almost always finds his man.
