Premier League: 3 reasons why Liverpool couldn't beat Arsenal

#2 An impetuous Alisson Becker

Liverpool FC v Arsenal - Premier League

Not something you want from your goal-keeper, but then again Alisson Becker is not your ordinary, day-to-day goal-keeper. After all, why would you pay a former world record sum of €62 million for a simple shot-stopper when you can get a samba man from Brazil? Like Virgil Van Dijk, Alisson has had a flying start to his Liverpool career, with the Brazilian only conceding five goals in his 11 appearances in the Premier League.

However, despite that, the Brazilian has made a few high profile errors and has also come under some stick for his show-boating ways. Since then while he has calmed down, against Arsenal, Alisson was a little impetuous. A few errors in the opening half of the game, one of which should have been the opening goal. While Leicester City and a few other sides made the most of it, Arsenal couldn't do that despite the having the likes of Alexander Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

But luck was with Becker in this game at least and despite conceding; things could have and most definitely should have been a lot worse. However, with Liverpool facing Watford, Everton, Burnley, Bournemouth and then Manchester United, the 26-year-old needs to learn to calm down and learn from his mistakes. Otherwise, soon the Reds face a side that will punish any small error, especially in the Champions League going forward.
