Alisson raps Liverpool pals: Stop stupid goals!

Alisson is frustrated with Liverpool conceding “stupid goals".

The Brazilian was helpless when Trezeguet found himself free inside the box to score Aston Villa's opener on Sunday.

The Reds eventually secured a dramatic late, but Alisson doesn't want his team to put themselves in difficult positions by conceding poor goals.

"It annoys me always when we concede," Alisson said. "Stupid goals! When we concede that way, it annoys me and the team.

"We always have a common goal to win the game and to keep a clean sheet. You are closer to the victory with a clean sheet and you always have a draw.

"When you concede, the games become more difficult. We need to work better at that if we want to do great things."

He added: "We can do better in our concentration. Against Genk we conceded late on, so this annoyed me and the team. We need to keep our focus.

"We need to learn from these moments to make sure it does not happen again."
