Been saying this for 18 months, Ali is a liability, ed001 you used to say he was the best with his feet even better than Ederson. You must admit now he just isn't up to this level. You can't win anything with an average keeper.
{Ed001's Note - if you say so.
01 Nov 2026 19:39:20
Honestly. One bad ball and you're crying about a great goalkeeper. The defenders could have done better. We had an entire game to score at least 1. We didn't and you're blaming an all time great keeper.
01 Nov 2026 19:44:41
I agree Mark. he's been a liability all season with his feet and this costly error has been coming. Wasting your time point scoring with Tristan on here though, just hope Ali doesn't keep doing it else we will concede more goals as a result if he doesn't learn from today's error.
01 Nov 2026 19:52:05
Has he done something today to upset you? I don't think he done anything wrong. Nothing he could do for the goal (I thought Van Dijk) could've cut the cross out. He also made a great save late in second half so not really sure what the moaning is about?
01 Nov 2026 19:56:05
That save he made in the second was top drawer.
01 Nov 2026 19:59:13
Sure it was a terrible pass from Ali but why's VVD taking a quick goal kick and giving it to Ali, putting him under unnecessary pressure in the first place? He's literally looking straight at Havertz who he can see is ready to make a b-line for Ali, he's literally begging Virg to give Ali the ball, just as much Virgil's fault if you ask me, not to mention Araujo actually saw Havertz spin off behind him into space, even checked to see where he was and still made no effort to track him, he failed to anticipate the ball could get as far as him simply because Jacquet and Virg were in front.
When the ball is struck for the cross, there's 3 Liverpool defenders who are all closer to it than any of Arsenal's men, but none of them manage to get a foot on it.
01 Nov 2026 20:00:53
I am just peed off. I admire your work. Ali needs replacing.
01 Nov 2026 20:04:44
I mean we are going to give the defence a pass then when Arsenal won the ball back? Yeah, Ali started it but by no means did he make the only mistake in that incident.
01 Nov 2026 20:05:57
Yep, probably our best keeper ever certainly in my lifetime, but looks like he's coming to the end now. It's not one game, he's not looked himself now since start of the season. No point in being blinded. Same as Salah last season. Time to replace unless he can step it up another notch asap.
01 Nov 2026 20:07:24
Worst take of the day.
01 Nov 2026 20:13:11
Give you a clue then, your handle mate ?.
01 Nov 2026 20:15:25
Oh wake up. Ali is a liability he will cost us in games. He couldn't pass water. Many many keepers after an error make a good save. It's the oldest trick in the book. Unfortunately he finished at the very top level. That's not to say the forwards shouldn't wake up.
01 Nov 2026 20:20:11
Van Dijk should also have closed the near post off.
Too many times over the past couple of seasons, he's facing our goal when a cross comes in.
Basic defending, nearest CB makes sure that ball cannot go across the 6 yard box.
01 Nov 2026 20:50:52
Look a few weren't great for the goal. But Alli certainly played a part. Hes been dodgy with the ball at his feet a longtime now. After his error we never get the ball back before it's in our net. others weren't great but Alli definitely shares in the blame.
01 Nov 2026 20:56:19
Doesn't Vvd pass it to Ali for like 90% of all our goal kicks for the last 5 years or so.
Vvd's biggest error was not attempting to cut out the cross and then Araujo for ball watching and not tracking the runners to the back post.
But yeah Ali started it with that pass.
01 Nov 2026 21:10:36
Replace him with who? he's still in the top 5 in the world for me.
01 Nov 2026 21:46:42
Wow he's not top 5 in the league.
01 Nov 2026 21:54:43
What a bunch of crap. Best goalkeeper Liverpool ever had and you want to replace him for a mistake.
01 Nov 2026 22:20:14
JK23, but Tzolis is on the edge of the box waiting like a sprinter at the blocks to run at Ali, and we're completely out of shape as the rest of the team seems to be expecting a long ball, having pushed way up the pitch.
You can see VVD clock Tzolis and almost second-guesses giving it to Ali, but he does it anyway – poor judgement in my opinion.
02 Nov 2026 04:35:05
I like how you just ended that argument with "if you say so", Ed. It's like when you're arguing with the missus and you know that, no matter how many logical counterarguments you come up with, she just won't listen. So you simply give up and say, "If you say so.".
{Ed001's Note - it is pointless getting into an argument. Ali made a mistake, he has not been at his best with his kicking but he still picked out a great ball to Gakpo later in the half. I have to say, he has been overtaken by Suzuki, but he still has quality with his passing, when a ball is on. The problem is that we stopped playing to his kicking strengths in recent years and started doing too much passing around at the back.}
02 Nov 2026 06:32:10
Chewy very true.
I actually think Ali should have given the ball back to Virg or gone long.
Quite a few poor error of judgements in the goal.
