While Adrian, signed to West Ham earlier this month, will offer decent coverage, a dive into Alisson & # 39; s statistics of last season shows how much they could miss him.

Although Liverpool had to punch £ 65 million, a world record for a goalkeeper, to sign Alisson in Rome in the summer of 2018, Jurgen Klopp knew it

The club was often abandoned by a series of unreliable keepers, later Loris Karius and Simon Mignolet, and it had to be addressed if they wanted to fight for higher awards.

The arrival of Alisson cured these ailments in one fell swoop, his debut season at Anfield a master class in conjunction between the posts.

Always present in Liverpool Premier League and Champions League games during 2018-19, Alisson saved 21 clean sheets in 38 league games, topping the list ahead of City & # 39; s Ederson.

His concession of 22 league goals was the lowest of all keepers in the English top flight, although a certain Dutch defender was called Virgil van Dijk, also a necessary release, could claim that he was a played a role.

In those 38 games, Alisson saw 96 shots on goal and saved 77.1 percent of them – again the highest return of a Premier League goalie.

But it wasn't just his shot-stopping that impressed. The distribution of Alisson was often vital for Liverpool to fly ahead in the attack.

He played a total of 1,076 steps, of which 864 reached their intended destination for a return of 80.3 percent. Only Chelsea's Kepa Arrizabalaga and Ederson had the highest accuracy when it came to playing the ball.

No wonder Van Dijk described Alisson as & # 39; perhaps the best goalie in the world & # 39; and wondered why he had not played included in FIFA & # 39; s 10-man shortlist for The Best award.

Although

was exactly the kind of goalkeeper Van Dijk wanted to be placed behind him and vice versa and the couple worked brilliantly together in what makes a memorable season for Liverpool.

The Brazilian made a number of crucial saves, the Tottenham insisted on an equalizer in the second half of the Champions League final.

Certain xG measures also say that Alisson Liverpool's efforts last season yielded 13.5 extra points to bring their title fight with City to the late afternoon.

While Klopp wanted to praise Adrian's virtues for himself at Liverpool's Super Cup meeting with Chelsea in Istanbul on Wednesday night, there will be understandable concerns.

First, he didn't play in the Premier League last season, with West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini who preferred Lukasz Fabianski.

The Spaniard's ability to shoot is good – in his 125 Premier League outings for West Ham, his rescue rate was 72 percent

But his distribution accuracy was less than 50 percent , quite the fall in Alisson & # 39; s 80.3 and it can take a while before he gets used to sharp and short play.

With City out of the blocks, Liverpool cannot afford to miss a beat in these opening weeks of the season. It will be up to Adrian to ensure that the absence of Alisson is not felt sharply.
