Giorgi Mamardashvili‘s run as Liverpool’s starting goalkeeper may have come earlier than he expected due to Alisson‘s layoff, but it was one the Georgia No. But Mamardashvili’s stand-in stint was an instructive one, not only for the player himself but also those within Liverpool and the club’s supporters.

Giorgi Mamardashvili: The saves and the stats One thing is clear with Liverpool’s new goalkeeper: he is an outstanding shot-stopper. Those can be considered teething issues, and on the whole Mamardashvili has shown he is a player at least capable of stepping into Alisson‘s shoes whenever required.

Alisson is in a league of his own, and even at 33 he is one of the best in the world in his position, so comparisons with the most expensive goalkeeper in Liverpool’s history are difficult. That is something the Liverpool squad will need to get used to, as Alisson‘s contract is due to expire at the end of the current campaign – and even if the club trigger their one-year extension clause as expected, the frequency of his injury issues suggest that could be his last at Anfield.
