That was tough for #Alisson 😔
#Foden’s goal highlights how important holding an upright set position is for a GK!

There’s nothing nuanced to say about the 2 distribution mistakes
The first he just scuffs & thus doesn’t get sufficient height on his pass.
The second he clearly doesn’t see #Silva & thinks his full back is open.
They just highlight the difficulties that ball playing GKs face.
The major thing I took from the two distribution mistakes is just how good #Ederson is at passing.
#Ederson has to play so many passes under pressure than any other goalkeeper in the league & he seldom gives the ball away in a dangerous area, he’s just a phenomenal player.
Here is some data from 2018/2019
Of #Ederson’s 100 pressured short passes 91 ended up with #MCFC unpressurised possession
91% Success
Of #Alisson’s 121 pressured short passes 99 ended up with #LFC unpressurised possession
82% Success
Additionally #Ederson bypassed more players
