# Jamie Carragher lauds ‘huge’ Alisson Becker display

Former [Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/05/08/virals-harvey-elliott-rounds-off-loan-spell-with-majestic-goal/) defender Jamie Carragher has lauded the ‘huge’ display from [Alisson Becker](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/03/04/liverpool-boosted-as-brazilian-trio-may-not-play-march-internationals/) on Saturday night as the Reds overcame Southampton 2-0 at Anfield.

The Brazilian was in inspired form as a typically [nervous-looking Liverpool home display](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/liverpool-fc-six-premier-league-home-defeats-at-anfield-b922670.html) this season threatened to cost Jurgen Klopp’s a vital three points.

Alisson rushed out to [deny Che Adams](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaSFB97Nt6E) in the first half before thwarting efforts from Nathan Tella, Nathan Redmond and Ibrahima Diallo as the night wore on.

Carragher was on commentary duty for [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football) at Anfield and saw fit to award the 28-year-old the Man of the Match award, as well as reserving special praise for the stopper’s performance.

> I just think that the goalkeeper’s role tonight has been huge. I think the save at 0-0 was vital for Liverpool at the other end to get that goal and also almost like a tackle really made second half as well. Man of the match.

Not unlike Klopp’s side moreover, Alisson has [struggled at times](https://talksport.com/football/417677/liverpool-fans-alisson-becker-mistake-leicester-city-goal/) this season to reach his best form.

Saturday night’s display was certainly a glimpse of the 45-cap Brazil star’s ability – earning a [Sofascofre rating of 8.40](https://www.sofascore.com/player/alisson/243609) in a six save, clean sheet outing.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Alisson has certainly [suffered this season](https://talksport.com/football/834574/alisson-jurgen-klopp-drop-liverpool-goalkeeper-mistakes-man-city-leicester/) in comparison to his elite form.

This outing should give Kopites confidence the top-level goalkeeper remains one of the [very best](https://www.goal.com/en/news/alisson-big-moment-keeper-best-in-the-world-liverpool/usp8zpy2cil1ffke263t45uw#:~:text=Liverpool%20star%20Alisson%20is%20%E2%80%9Ca,well%2Dcontested%20one%20at%20present.) in the business.
