# Liverpool: Journalists criticise Alisson vs Nottingham Forest

**Ian Doyle criticised Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson following a ‘silly’ moment in their FA Cup clash with Nottingham Forest.**

### The lowdown

Reds manager Jurgen Klopp [confirmed before the game](https://www.thisisanfield.com/2022/03/jurgen-klopp-pulls-u-turn-on-caoimhin-kelleher-alisson-to-start-in-fa-cup/) that the 29-year-old was the preferred goalkeeper for the competition.

Caoimhin Kelleher had [started in the third and fourth round](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/caoimhin-kelleher/leistungsdaten/spieler/340918), before the Brazilian took over for the round of 16 tie against Norwich City.

Early in the second half at the City Ground, Alisson [mishit a clearance](https://www.bbc.com/sport/live/football/60655766/page/2) following a backpass from Ibrahima Konate, but Forest were caught offside as they tried to profit on the error.

### The latest

Liverpool Echo journalist Doyle [wrote on Twitter](https://twitter.com/IanDoyleSport/status/1505621563110010886) that the ‘keeper had been let off the hook after his poor judgement, saying: “Alisson gets away with a mishit pass as Forest are offside from the rebound. Bit silly from all concerned, to be honest.”

Meanwhile, [The Echo’s Paul Gorst](https://twitter.com/ptgorst/status/1505621533468856323) said that the 29-year-old had just about avoided calamity, stating: “Alisson almost in a world of trouble with a poor clearance but the offside flag eventually goes up.”

### The verdict

For the mor the most part, it was a very quiet evening for Alisson, aside from a [brief late scare](https://www.bbc.com/sport/live/football/60655766) when Ryan Yates went down in the penalty area in a 50-50 between the two. Forest [mustered only one shot on target](https://www.sofascore.com/liverpool-nottingham-forest/osU), with three efforts flying wide and another blocked.

His distribution was where he could make a difference. He completed 26 of his 30 passes overall, but three of his five long passes went astray (via [SofaScore](https://www.sofascore.com/liverpool-nottingham-forest/osU)).

Alisson, who earns [£150,000 per week](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/liverpool-fc/payroll/) at Anfield, has [already made one](https://www.sofascore.com/player/alisson/243609) error leading to an opposition goal this season, and he was fortunate to escape another this evening.
