So we're looking at Liverpool and their sort of squad situation that we spoke about that
00:05
they've got quite a tight, small squad this season. Obviously, it was no secret that they
00:09
had such a small and quiet transfer window in the summer and, you know, for Arne Schot's first
00:15
season, he was sort of confident in the group but, you know, you are going to have to react
00:19
when injuries start to kick in and Alisson, you know, such a huge key player in this side.
00:25
What's the thoughts following his, you know, possible injury and his situation? I know
00:31
there's, you know, it can change so quickly as they found out, you know, a few years ago as well,
00:36
where you have all these big players and big names and then they start to drop like flyers
00:41
and the complete squad looks completely different and, you know, results can start to sort of drop
00:47
and, you know, competing across all competitions becomes quite a struggle.
00:52
Yeah, it's a blow for Liverpool but I think the unfortunate thing is it's not a massive
00:57
surprise when Alisson gets an injury and it should be for a goalkeeper but, during his time at
01:05
Liverpool, he has had injury issues, you know, he had one last season, I think he had two spells on
01:10
the sidelines and he missed a game early in the campaign and, yeah, he went down with a hamstring
01:18
issue and was spotted limping, leaving Southampton Park. So, I think that's what Liverpool fans are,
01:27
I don't want to say disappointed but, you know, they've always become accustomed to Alisson being
01:32
a little bit injury prone, which is a surprise for a goalkeeper. But Liverpool, look, in the summer,
01:38
he could have potentially sold Kovic and Kelleher, he made it no secret that he wants to go out and
01:43
play regular football but Liverpool have said they need two strong goalkeepers. That's probably a reason
01:49
why they kept Kelleher around, to be frank, because maybe they knew that Alisson, for as good as he is,
01:55
and as, you know, Arnold Slot called him the best goalkeeper in the world after the game, but
02:00
they do know that he can break down, Bozzi can break down and they need a top-class keeper
02:06
in the background. So, yeah, Kelleher looks like he's going to get a chance, did really well in two
02:12
games earlier this season, did really well last season when he has a sustained spell in the campaign.
02:18
And, you know, again, Liverpool went and bought Giorgio Mane and Sevilla from Valencia as Arnold Slot's
02:26
first sign and clearly Liverpool are planning for the future there and maybe looking at Alisson's
02:31
deal, I think he's got maybe two years left on his deal, maybe looking and thinking, well, he's going
02:36
to be 33 at that point, maybe we shake hands and say you've been a fantastic servant, but we
02:43
need to move on and, you know, Mane and Sevilla will be the future. So, it is a big blow for Liverpool.
02:49
I'm sure Alisson will be assessed, but I would think he's going to be out for a number of weeks.
