Leave him be, he's at acceptance, progress

DarkOfTheManatee · « **Reply #1762 on:** March 2, 2024, 10:18:56 pm »

Saw a story the other day that Celtic wanted him, and chuckled. There's only about a dozen clubs in the world who could pay the transfer fee he's worth - and he would represent an upgrade for most of them on whoever they currently have between the sticks.

Was absolutely laughable. I don't know their record transfer fee but I bet we'd be looking for way more than whatever that is.

Apparently it's £9m for Edouard. So they'd only have to quintuple that to kick off negotiations.

Just checked and its jota for €16m. I'd be looking for more than double of that.

Wee reminder that this lad has kept us in the title race, was one of the main reasons we just won a cup final and is content to be part of the team as a backup when others would be long gone. Brilliant lad who must be one of the top performers in the league on current form.

spider-neil · « **Reply #1767 on:** March 6, 2024, 08:40:21 am »

I think his first save in the League Cup is the save of the season.

fowlermagic · « **Reply #1768 on:** March 6, 2024, 08:53:38 am »

Absolutely. Just thought i say something about him this morning and then couldn't find his thread as was nearly a week since the last post, which was part of a discussion of how much will we get for him. I understand why fans would chat about that but save it for the transfer threads. Right now appreciate how good the lad is playing as we are not missing Becker. That thought alone is a credit to how good he's performing at.

They maybe training separately as there was no goalie there.

He's there training with Adrian

tubby · « **Reply #1772 on:** March 6, 2024, 12:56:16 pm »

Pretty sure I just saw him out there near the goal on the right.

Was that your reaction when he made <insert save here> or when it looked momentarily like he might be joining Alisson on the injury list?

Best two keepers this season in England are Ali and Caoimhin. Just not sure in which order.

Was going to say we're lucky we have him, but it's not luck. It's talent spotting, coaching, man management and building an entire club around the ethos that the next man up is more than capable of deputising if one of our superstars is out for a while.

cptrios · « **Reply #1780 on:** March 7, 2024, 06:46:38 pm »

Rarely has it better reflected my state!

In all seriousness, though...can anyone think of another club in recent history that's had two keepers this good at the same time?

Simplexity · « **Reply #1781 on:** March 7, 2024, 07:41:56 pm »

Playing out of his skin at the moment. Had a period last year where he looked very ropey, has completely recovered.

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #1783 on:** March 7, 2024, 07:56:56 pm »

Saw the season flash before my eyes when he went down hurt in the first half! Another top class display tonight that was the difference between the tie being done and having a tricky second leg ahead of us.

MonsLibpool · « **Reply #1784 on:** March 7, 2024, 07:58:58 pm »

He was a calming influence. Exactly what we needed when we weren't at our best (despite the scoreline). Made a very important save at 3-1.

rossipersempre · « **Reply #1786 on:** March 7, 2024, 08:17:05 pm »

It's the Alisson beard factor. Superlative performance tonight.

That’s so weird I was thinking about him replacing Southall (broken leg wasn’t it) and how good he was just the other day. Played in the 86 Cup final didn’t he

Never got a proper assessment of how good he was, given how much better Southall was. How was Mimms, compared with other keepers of the era?

He has that essential but rare quality that all the best goalies have - speed.

I'd say confidence myself. It's radiating off him these days.

Last I can think of was 2005 when Chelsea had Cech and Cudicini on the books

He's really answered his critics, myself included, recently. Obviously playing a run of games has helped.

Big Kev in 6 games since Ali injury:
30 SOT Faced
27 Saves (90% !), 18 inside the box
3 goals conceded
8.6 XGOT Faced
5.6 goals prevented (0.93 per game!!)
9 of 11 opposition big chances on target saved (!!)
Absolutely ASTONISHING numbers

Fortunately they don't have to be sustainable.

Interesting that VVD called him world class after the league cup final… he’s clearly rated highly within the team, and rightly so it seems.

Well, Ali is just putting in some miles on his Peloton bike, so er, yeah.
