Liverpool have only had a few bright lights in their 2022/23 season so far and one of them has undoubtedly been the man between the sticks, Alisson Becker.
Andy Robertson would seem to agree with that suggestion stating that he and his teammates “probably let him down” this term.
“Ali on the ball is unbelievable and you have to trust him in those moments,” the Scotland international said after the match on the club’s official website.
“He came off his corner or free kick and Ali has him in his hands and you trust him to make the right decisions.
“It’s something we trust Ali in, he’s amazing with the ball at his feet. He also has great vision and when he sees something then we have to react and we all pushed up and luckily the ball ended up in the back of the net.
“I think Ali is the best in the world for sure at what he does. We’ve probably all let him down this season because he faced too many shots, he had to be making too many stops. I think he will be much happier.”
The Brazilian international finished second in the Ballon d’Or ceremony for the Yashin Trophy, missing out thanks to the sensational efforts of Champions League final hero Thibaut Courtois.

We would probably be in a much worse situation had it not been for the heroism of our No.1. A difficult reality to conceive given that we are eighth in the standings.
However, an improved defensive output from our four defenders meant the former Roma goalkeeper was not left with everything to do throughout the process.
If we can replicate our last performance against the title holders and generate a positive run of results, it is not inconceivable that we could finish in the top four again before the World Cup begins in Qatar.
