The Reds left-back praised the passing ability of their new goalkeeper after his impressive debut against Napoli
Andy Robertson was struck by Alisson’s passing ability during his Liverpool debut against Napoli on Saturday.
The world’s most expensive goalkeeper featured in the Reds’ emphatic 5-0 victory over the Italians in Dublin.
Alisson’s clean-sheet was hardly threatened, however his distribution was notably impressive according to Robertson.
“All goalkeepers are different so it takes a bit of time but today will help the defence and help him know how we play as well,” Robertson told Liverpoolfc.com after the game.
“I thought he looked very comfortable and I think we adapted to him quite easily.
“He was very comfortable on the ball five minutes in and it meant we could show for it and he was starting most of our play, so it was a very good performance from him, but overall the squad performed very well today.
“From day one he settled in quite quickly.
“I think everyone knew from his first interview he spoke very good English so the settling-in period is over for him and I think he is very much part of the squad.
“Today he looked at home, he looked comfortable and when he was called upon he made the saves he had to make, so long may that continue and that will give him more confidence than he has already got and hopefully that will stand us in good stead for the season ahead.”
