Does anyone think kepa has showed he's better than Alison so far? For me he's been more solid but been tested less and had less highlights too.

I don't get you. More solid but tested less?

Not really. Although VVD has buffed up our defence since his arrival, it's Alisson's instalment as number one that's really restored a sense of calm and security to our backline, which has created a platform for the way we now play. At the same time, sure, Alisson hasn't really been tested much but he's also made some vital saves (the immediate one I can think of is the Hazard one-on-one) . Kepa, on the other hand, has shown he's a good keeper with a lot of potential but his impact has not been anywhere near as powerful as Alisson's.

This makes no sense I'm afraid mate, especially when you consider they've conceded more than us!

Kepa has made no mistakes leading to goals alisson has made atleast 1 and others where I belive he should've made the save. Kepa hasn't been tested as much as alisson but so far has done nothing wrong. The reason kepa hasn't had the impact Alisson has is because he was replacing a really good outgoing keeper meaning it was what they expected whereas we had karius leave and were expecting better. We've got better because of alisson but Chelsea have stayed the same replacing courtois with kepa. Which is the harder bar to meet?

Sadly we don't give goal keepers time to settle into the team like we do with out field players. Fans getting on like Alisson has been brilliant every week r wrong. He's been ok, could do better i would say. But he's only new to the English game so I'd give him more time before I judge him.

I couldn't give a toss. I'm delighted with Allison so far.

Such eloquence 🙄 obviously a meaningful debate was too much to ask for such a shame the eds provide such a good platform and its wasted on some fans.

Nun

Keepers will always make mistakes here and there.

Despite a couple of mistakes allison has also made some important saves too.

Two really good one on ones at chelsea spring to mind.

Wouldnt swap him for anyone. He is even better than i thought he was. He has slotted in pretty good and will only get better as he gets older. His attitude is spot on too. He is a big part of all those clean sheets.

Our defence as a whole is looking very solid. Taa is having a bit of a wobble at the moment but i think that's more to do with the constant midfield rotation than anything else.

We have conceded 5 league goals. 5! Alisson is top class don't worry about any other team's Kepa!

I think there's a good debate here. Most just don't entirely agree with you, Nun. That's all.

I think 87Red was meaning that it doesn't really matter who is better. Alisson is a vast improvement on what we had already, that's been obvious from game 1, and we've had far more clean sheets than last season, it would seem.

Kepa is a good goalie from what i've seen, but he replaced a good goalie, so the impact was always going to be lessened.

Can't say that Kepa is better or worse than Courtois, as I haven't seen much of him, but I would state categorically that Alisson is better than Courtois.

Kepa not fit to tie Alisson's boots in my opinion.

Allison has been excellent at what he does so far this season. Couldn’t care less about any other keeper apart from Degea, hope he leaves united- by his own standards I reckon he’s below his usual quality yet still by a mile he’s the best keeper in the world.

Hiya Nun red, not sure why you complaining about the responses you got, I think the replies were decent with valid points. I think Kepa been as good as Allison and Allison been as good as Kepa, I think Leno of Arsenal been decent as well. Every goalkeeper, even the greats make 4 or 5 mistakes a season, unfortunate for them their mistakes are often costly, where a defender can get away with a mistake a game that goes un-noticed.

Alisson simply exudes confidence when he is on the field. You don't see hesitation, you don't see any dithering whatsoever, he sweeps and distributes very effectively and the fundamentals of goalkeeping are all well covered. In my opinion he's better than Reina, and only time will show if he is as good as Clemence. In regards to the comparison with Kepa, I think it's too early to say. Both Gks play with top teams with very good defences. We'd be able to tell only after both have been really and truly tested and that still has not happened.

Alisson didn’t cost any points with his error against Leicester and he has won us points with his save against Brighton and he set up then move for the first goal against Fulham.

We almost could say that we have a goalie and 11 outfield players. pretty happy with that.

Liverpool have more clean sheets if I’m correct and also consider Allison has created goals from his distribution. Whoever is the better keeper, I’m quite satisfied with our No.1. With a tip off from Sturridge on this one, I would bet that he would’ve saved that cheeky little CL Final goal.

Nun, I was asking myself the very question you posted and frankly, I don't know if he is better than Allison or vice versa. Kepa has conceded goals this season BUT he has not been at fault for any of them and like many have said, he has not been tested that much so that is more credit to the way Sarri sets the team up and plays than it is Kepa's ability, IMO. I am happy with Allison and even tho, he will make mistakes as all GK's do, his mistakes will be few and far between and most importantly, he will keep us in games which is what we ask for, in the main.

You're talking about shot stopping only here. Alisson's distribution has imo been the best in the league this season. Absolute quality. Definitely a big help to our goals scored/ chances created so far.

Something to keep in mind is how much pressure any keeper would have to shoulder coming into our team at the point he did. It's been a problem position for years for us and the worry of being another victim of the LFC goalkeeper curse probably weighs you down alot.
