Alisson Becker was beaten from outside the box when Liverpool lost to Nottingham Forest. How do he and Giorgi Mamardashvili compare with long-range shots?
Brilliant piece as ever, I genuinely believe Conor Bradley thought CHO was left footed as the confusion on his face when an apoplectic Alison was slapping his right leg towards Bradley was stark.
It was common knowledge that later-stage Klopp was purposely channeling attackers to shoot from distance rather than work better percentage chances against us. I wonder if this strategy has been altered by Slot and Alisson is struggling to adapt to the new holes left?
It's only been one goal under Slot, in fairness. But there could be something in that... the defenders didn't go out of their way to block Hudson Odoi, so maybe there is a little confusion back there regarding the issue.
We probably have to accept that after posting one of the best seasons in the data era in 2023/24, he's probably going to fall back a bit. Alisson did, so anyone can.

Thanks. I saw a map of Hudson-Odoi's goals yesterday:

Bradley definitely needed to do more to keep away from where he ended up shooting from!
Absolutely, he is a very dynamic player!

Is Allison brilliant as a shot stopper because he gets down so early, but the longer range curling shot evades him as he's already on the deck?
Interesting idea, I hadn’t really thought of that. If that’s the price for him being generally brilliant, it’s probably worth it!
"This term Mamardashvili has been beaten with three from six"..
Well...I know that it's very early in the season, but 3 goals from 6 shots..?!
It doesn't look good, does it?
That's from outside the box - he's 10 goals (worth 9.4 xGOT) from 22 shots in total:
