"Alisson is one of the greats at the club, but I also think they will be missing him off the field when things aren’t going well, to help situations and to make sure players stay in line."He is so good in one-v-ones; you can play high lines and know he is there. Giorgi Mamardashvili is a very good goalkeeper, but he is very new when it comes to playing in the Premier League.



He needs to learn the Premier League, which is normal."He has a big frame and looks very good, but at this moment in time he is not Alisson. I remember when Hugo Lloris first came to Tottenham, he was at Lyon, a Champions League club, and he was an important layer for France, winning games.“But when he came to the Premier League, he found that he had so much to do all the time, whereas when he was playing at Lyon, he didn’t have as much to do."You have to get used to that as a goalkeeper; you have to get mentally prepared that if you are playing bottom of the league, you might have to do more.

You just never know, because it is the Premier League.“I think before people can really jump on to how he is, they need to let him have a run of games, to be settled in the country and at the club for a little while. He has many years ahead of him, so let’s see how he develops.”
