Allison Becker is regarded by Andy Robertson as the best goalkeeper in the world, who also feels that this season, Liverpool’s outfield players have “let him down” with their own performances.
Allison claimed an assist for the winning goal after his punt up the pitch sent Mohamed Salah clean through with just under 15 minutes to go at Anfield.
The Brazil international is one of few to emerge from the frustrating campaign to date with any credit and he was once again flawless for Jurgen Klopp’s side as they recorded a huge victory over the champions.
Meanwhile, the Scotland captain believes the Reds’ 1-0 victory against Manchester City on Sunday, as they get ready to host West Ham United at Anfield on Wednesday night, could be the spark they need to help turn around their season.
What Did Robertson Say About Allison?
“I think Ali’s [Allison] the best in the world for sure in what he does,” Robertson said. “We’ve all probably let him down this season in that he’s faced too many shots.
“He’s had to be making too many saves and I think he’ll be a lot happier tonight.
“Ali on the ball is unbelievable and you have to trust him in those moments. [The goal] came from their corner or free-kick or whatever it is and Ali has got it in his hands and you trust him to make the right decisions.
“We had a similar goal against Manchester United a couple of seasons ago where Mo did the exact same thing.

“He capitalises on a mistake, someone’s took a poor touch and then Mo’s clear through on goal and his composure has been excellent.
“It’s something we trust Ali with, he’s unbelievable with the ball at his feet and he’s got great vision as well and when we see something then we have to react off it and we all pushed up and luckily the ball has ended up in the back of the net.”
