Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp had a message for the rest of his players after Alisson made a major blunder today against Leicester City.
The Brazilian goalkeeper, normally so good with his feet, got a little over-confident and lost the ball in his own penalty area to allow the Foxes to pull a goal back.
Liverpool held on to win the game 2-1, but Klopp spoke about the incident afterwards, as seen in the video below.

The Reds boss insists that while it was not ‘cool’ of Alisson to make this mistake, the rest of his players also need to remember that the 25-year-old is merely an ‘option’ for them to look for, but not a ‘solution’.
In other words, everyone needs to stop believing the hype – he’s a goalkeeper, not a playmaker!
