# Liverpool: Fans criticise Alisson vs Aston Villa

**Many Liverpool fans questioned goalkeeper Alisson Becker during their Premier League clash with Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon.**

Liverpool were looking to extend the six-game winning streak that began after the November international break.

Saturday’s fixture saw Steven Gerrard, third on the Reds’ [all-time appearance list](https://www.lfchistory.net/Stats/PlayerAppearances), return to Anfield in the opposition dugout.

Jurgen Klopp made one change from the side that won 1-0 at Wolverhampton Wanderers last time out, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain starting a game at centre forward [for the first time this season](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alex-oxlade-chamberlain/leistungsdaten/spieler/143424).

Diogo Jota was only fit enough for the substitutes’ bench, having been [sidelined for much of the week’s training](https://twitter.com/neiljonesgoal/status/1469286970471981061).

### Recapping Alisson’s performance

There were two moments of uncertainty from Alisson in the first half. First, he [misjudged](https://twitter.com/mjmarr_star/status/1469691285170700296) a long ball, with Ashley Young able to nod it beyond him, only for his pull-back to Ollie Watkins to be cut out.

Later, [miscommunication](https://twitter.com/mjmarr_star/status/1469693960633430023) with Trent Alexander-Arnold nearly allowed to nick the ball in the penalty area.

He didn’t regain any confidence after the break, nearly giving VAR a reason to get involved with a late scuffle involving Danny Ings.

Along with Thiago Alcantara, Alisson recorded the joint-lowest[SofaScore](https://www.sofascore.com/liverpool-aston-villa/PU) rating in the Liverpool team (6.5).
