After Man United’s defeat, Alisson believes that three “massive” Liverpool players need assistance.

Alisson was essential to Liverpool in order to prevent a really disappointing outcome from turning disastrous. He has given some thought to where Manchester United went wrong.

Alisson Becker, the custodian, was aware that Liverpool’s typically potent offence fell short in the match against Manchester United on Sunday. Even though the Reds dominated the whole game, they couldn’t penetrate the United defense—before this match, they hadn’t drawn a blank in 35 games.

Liverpool had a commanding 68% of the possession and made an incredible 34 shots on goal. But André Onana of United’s goalkeeping failed to stop it, resulting in a disappointing fall from the top spot in the Premier League.

Alisson was forced into action to stop two significant Manchester United attacks, but he was pleased with Liverpool’s defensive effort. But he blamed the lack of creativity from the attacking line against the team’s bitter rivals for the failure to clinch a victory.

Alisson said, “Unfortunately, it’s a draw for us today, not what we were hoping for,” in reflection on the game. However, we must accept the positive things we accomplished on the pitch. We had a lot of chances and I believe we dominated the entire game, but there is still much room for improvement.

“We take the positives from this afternoon: the clean sheet, which was, in my opinion, extremely good; our defence was strong; we were aggressive when necessary; we stopped counterattacks and gave them only one or two opportunities. Perhaps we should do better in the last third of the pitch during the creation phase, giving ourselves better opportunities, maintaining composure when handling the ball, and making wiser decisions. We hurried a little bit at times.”

Alisson analysed the final third of the game and questioned the front line’s decision-making, saying, “Shooting balls that we could have passed to a player in a better position.” However, since the season doesn’t offer us much time to get better, we must learn from this as soon as possible because it is a part of the game.”

Even after the scoreless draw, Alisson is still confident that his squad can score more goals. While acknowledging that dominating the scoreboard isn’t always possible, he insisted that there is still room for development and urged other players to support the forwards:

“The strikers, they are huge for us. They consistently score. I believe there are occasions when other players try to score from set pieces as well. Every game, one after the other, the first three and the newcomers make all the difference.”

When it comes to scoring from set pieces, Alisson is quite knowledgeable. Against Manchester United, players like Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté missed good opportunities, and nobody was able to save the attackers in the end.

According to Liverpool.com: Alisson may have been a touch too kind in his judgement that the strikers are the ones making the difference in every game. The statement primarily applies to Mohamed Salah, but it hides a bit of a lack of production from the other front-line players. Luis Díaz and Darwin Núñez were the other starts in this game, with Cody Gakpo coming off the bench.

The Egyptian is incapable of doing it alone, and it’s possible that he required assistance from a midfielder or member of the defence against Manchester United. Trent Alexander-Arnold came very, very close to achieving that. Above all, though, Salah needs to give up part of the blame to the other attackers.

Alisson is correct: Liverpool’s front line is “massive.” It’s crucial to get them all back into shape because of this.
