Ed001 question for you as you are a huge fan of Allison

What is he like with crosses and long balls as we all know they come thick and fast I this league.

{Ed001's Note - difficult to really judge him on those as they are not as common in the leagues he played in before. However he does sweep up very well, so he should have little difficulty with long balls. Crosses are something he will have to adapt to.}

He really tried to make a point to the fans in the last pre season game, that he can command his area and help organise the team. I think the quote was “ cmon, go go go” 💪🏼😂.

Was delighted on Saturday night with 1 of the corners in the 2nd half. You could hear it very clearly over tv that he was coming for it. And gini ducked his head after hearing the shout and he caught it comfortably. I know when i played as a striker i hated if the gk was a big unit and came out shouting really loud it put split second doubt that he was away to clatter me. He will take time to adjust to premiership id imagine but looks very impressive.

Agreed coco. If I remember rightly a Napoli player might have even been able to get a head on it but heard Alissons shout and thought 'f that'. He's a big lad so I'm sure he will be able to handle himself in the prem. Martin Tyler and Gary Neville will be looking to scrutinise him at any given opportunity.

So far the indications are he’s accomplished 👍.
