OPINION
These Liverpool fans are obviously excited to see Alisson make his debut for the club ahead of what could be a breakthrough season for the Reds in their search for silverware. Goalkeeper has been a hugely problematic position for the club in recent years, with Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius both not up to scratch, and there are high hopes for the Brazilian ahead of the new campaign. He certainly has a lot to live up to with his £67million price tag, but the 26-year-old looks well up to the task. If he does fix Liverpool’s problems in goal then Liverpool could be in for an exciting season in 2018/19, with the squad looking the strongest it has in many years.
