One of the most important things Jurgen Klopp has done since taking over at Liverpool was to bring in a new goalkeeper. Both Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius proved to be solid operators in goal, but neither of them were good enough to be part of a title winning side, as shown by Liverpool’s defeat to Real Madrid in the 2018 Champions League Final, where Karius made two glaring errors.

However, since his £67 million switch from Roma, Alisson has had a massive impact on this Liverpool side, and was vital in their success last season. He has only featured for 40 minutes so far this season though, after picking up an injury against Norwich City on the opening day.

He will return to the Liverpool side when they take on Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday, and without a doubt, he will make this Reds side a lot stronger.
