Yes he did but the striker still didn't allow the ball get far enough away from.him. I thought the same.and looked again at the goal and I'm confident charging out at him would make no difference Again alisson will pitch his tent then wait for thst touch. Once the player touches it forward he can no longer hit it and alisson is like lightening in his closing to smother it. Marmadashvilli would have had to come out so far the guy could smash it past him before he could reasonably make a save. He'd have had to come to the edge of the box. The fault lies with the two cms who both went chasing the game and the powder puff wirtz losing it and the two cbs being 4 miles apart. Thry are only set up to go forward, theres no thought to one cm staying, no thought at all to losing the ball or what to cover. The second wirtz lost it with Ekitike he had one breif second to maybe do something but the die was then cast as he should have went right at the guy turning and hit him before the ball goes goes. Jones plays it from sort of left midfield to wirtz, Szoboszlai is in a 10.right side sort of position so theres no 6 nor thought of being a 6. Once Ekitike plays it poorly.jones jogs across not involved and wirtz doesn't react aggressively. The two cbs are miles apart neither paying any attention to their forward. Like..... come on. Even the first goal you can see the ****e way its let out but then tjry have not a clue as they seem to think they guy can throw it a mil but its always dropping at near stick and vvd and konate are not doing the job. They leave kerkez.on his own for the flick one. Not one single long throw worked thereafter. Just get the big agressive cb out in the zone and head it sky high. Long throws drop like a bomb done and are almost impossible to do much with unless you help it on. We let them help it on. Again agression in defending. Then the pen. Vvd had two nibbles at the guy. if you watch the goal back vvd is after straight arm.pushing one guy then actually gesticulating at kerkez to watch and overlap. Again no cms present. Vvd is obviously just ****ed up of it and has.two goes at the guy petulant rather than properly defending. Look at the shots damsgaard got off. Again two top svaes made but no cms in the picture. A free run down our middle once a ball turns over.
Obviously alisson is world.class and we will see a difference Blaming him for a shocker of a team goal.cos he couldn't stop a one on one is not good. Asking how ****ing dire is he with his feet that we ended up 5 up hoofing it is more reasonable and what I'd rather focus on there.
I hadn't noticed myself but I've seen others saying that he keeps getting the ball passed to his right foot when he's left-footed. Maybe that's why he's not looking good with the ball at his feet. I would have thought he'd be efficient at both sides with an obvious bias towards one. Some people are very left (or right) footed.
Maybe. The sloppiness of certain players. Especially cbs is shocking. Again go look at that stupid throw. Bad passes back, sloppy ****e then ball is flicked out sort of at Bradley rather than smash it 4 miles down the park. Bradley then hasnt the sense to not let it out. Stupid sloppy nervy crap. I hate when I see them retreating under a half oress as they will play it behind each other as cbs and inevitably end up back to the keeper. Have not the bravery to pass forward nor even pass it to feet. They pass behind as its assures they couldn't give it to the opposition
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNdcs2CaF/ Very different attitudes. Similar starting positions but Marmadashvilli retreats with every movement, Alisson moves forwards with every movement. Both strikers keep the ball very close
Two different situations. First not every movement is forward. alissons firdt movment is actually back to the 6 yard box beofre the ball is played, in anticipation. Alisson thrn moves lateral first as the angle is there.l and he has to cover the near post. The forward takes a faux touch and he then moves out. He is on his 6 yard box. Marmadashvilli has a guy bearing down from outside the box from miles out. He steps back to 6 yards as he also knows like alisson tjst the ball goes over his head if he goes out. The first touch is outside the box. The second is yards away from marmadashvilli. Now I dont think he did well. He got his legs miles apart and couldn't do a thing bit its a bit unfair to critique a guy who kept us in the game with 2 big saves in a situation where most keepers don't get to save it. Again the forwards touches are far enough out that if you charged out st them he can go either side of you and hit the net. The angles are **** for a keeper. I'd be fine with anyone slaughtering him for his presence aerially or for his passing. This was a 5% chance of a save at best.
I don't want to keep on about this all night, but he backed off - and there's nothing at all to be gained from that. Moving backwards, your momentum is wrong, your balance is wrong and you're just giving the striker more to aim at and a keeper unprepared to react. The only way is to go to the player and try to make yourself as big as possible - try to block it or force him wide. He got it wrong. You can write as many essays as you want on it but it doesn't change that - it's pretty basic stuff. I can't say I've ever seen Ali retreat in a situation like that. Please note I'm not having a go at Mamardashvili, just pointing out that in this situation he made an error of judgement. However small the chance of a save was he made it smaller.
