Liverpool defender Joe Gomez has encouraged goalkeeper Alisson Becker to continue his style of playing out from the back, despite his mistake against Leicester City.
As reported on Goal, Gomez wants the shot-stopper to keep his style of play which has seen Liverpool only concede one goal in the Premier League this season.
Alisson made his big-money move to Liverpool during the summer transfer window and he has settled into the side effortlessly, making several key saves and passes in the opening four matches of the league season.
The Brazilian was recruited by manager Jurgen Klopp because of his passing ability and Gomez wants to make sure that he doesn’t change his ways just because of one mistake.
He said:
That is his style of play and I think everyone wants him to continue doing that. All the time he gives us that confidence that we can play and it relieves a lot of pressure for us.
Everyone has their style of play and we don’t want him to change. I think he’s confident and will continue to do so.
Alisson was caught dwelling on the ball inside his own box by Kelechi Iheanacho who squared the ball to Rachid Ghezzal to prod home but the keeper has held his hands up and vowed not to make the same mistake.
Just last week against Brighton, Alisson was praised for his composure as he chipped the ball over the onrushing forward’s head to clear the danger.
