Giorgi Mamardashvili let in four more goals on Sunday, as he failed to really make the most of his last outing as Liverpool’s undisputed No. Had Alisson been between the sticks, it is impossible to say he would have prevented any from going in.Nevertheless, fans have already made their mind up on the 25-year-old after last season, and many are simply unwilling to give him a chance to prove them wrong.“I think he is been very poor,” said one supporter.

I don’t rate him to play for Liverpool,” another fan slammed.These were fairly typical of the dozens of replies, with many deriding him as ‘not good enough,’ ‘very poor’ or ‘terrible.’One supporter even labelled the former Valencia man as ‘Marmadashliability,’ while others called for a return for Caoimhin Kelleher, or for Freddie Woodman to take over back-up duties.Though fans may have simply been venting after a difficult pre-season defeat, Mamardashvili has regularly been a target for fans online since his arrival in 2025, and it is high time they realise that the Georgia international still has the potential to be Liverpool’s first-choice goalkeeper.Mamardashvili has had a good pre-seasonYou get the feeling at the moment that Mamardashvili could have the greatest game of his life for Liverpool, and if he lets in one goal, a certain segment of supporters will be straight on his back.That was the case on Sunday, when he played very well up until the point that Breden Aaronson scored for Leeds.
On Sunday only two of his nine long balls found their target, but that is hardly reason to decry him as a liability.Mamardashvili also played well against Wrexham, again making three saves, with another good one recorded against Sunderland, too.All in all, he has had a good pre-season, and with Alisson still around, he will be the back-up goalkeeper heading into the new campaign. He is a Liverpool player who has had some difficulties, the fanbase need to get behind him, not tear him further down.
