Alisson Becker remarked on Liverpool’s’strong performance’ after the Reds rallied back to draw 1-1 with Arsenal on Saturday.

After Gabriel headed the Gunners into an early lead in the Premier League encounter at Anfield, Mohamed Salah’s brilliant strike ensured Jürgen Klopp’s side secured a share of the spoils.

The Reds are now second in the table, a point behind Mikel Arteta’s men, despite having chances to win the game in the second half.

“We don’t take disappointment from today,” Alisson remarked after the game to Liverpoolfc.com. “We don’t take disappointment because we played a great game.”

“To be honest, we wanted the three points, but as a team that is rebuilding, trying to be solid and consistent, the performance we delivered today was incredible.”

“We also have to mention that the fans today pushed us forward and assisted us in this performance.” We need the extra power and vitality from so many games, one after the other, during this really hectic season. We play three games in ten days, which is a lot, and we do our best.

“It was a really good and strong performance today against a strong team.” We are not completely satisfied because it was just one point, but we accept this point as well as the performance.”

After Salah leveled the game before the halftime, Liverpool came close to winning it in the second half with goals from Joe Gomez, Trent Alexander-Arnold (who hit the crossbar), and substitute Harvey Elliott.

“I think the way the opponent played today, they showed they are a really mature team,” he remarked. “We did that as well; our backline was incredible, as was the midfield, and the strikers contributed.”

“Our counter-press was incredible; I think the only thing we could have done better was capitalize on the opportunities we had and hurt them when they made mistakes.” That’s what we normally do.

“But as I said before, we take this performance to make us stronger for the next games that we have, and we move forward.”

Ibrahima Konate provided a dominant performance alongside captain Virgil van Dijk in the Reds’ defensive showing.

“I agree, it was one of the best [performances],” remarked Alisson. “Everyone knows how strong Ibou is, and he improves season after season.”

“He is still young, despite being a big and strong man.” Nobody realizes it, yet he is still young and developing as a more mature player with Virgil. They performed admirably, but not alone. They played an outstanding game since everyone contributed to their success.

“But in the one-v-one situations against [Gabriel] Martinelli, against [Bukayo] Saka, against Gabriel Jesus, they are amazing strikers, and the way they defended was amazing.”

Liverpool return to play on Boxing Day when they travel to Turf Moor to face Burnley, with Alisson emphasizing the importance of focus and consistency if they are to remain in contention at the top of the Premier League.

“Of course, we want to be at the top for the rest of the season,” the Brazilian stated. “We understand that it is premature to discuss trophies at this time.” We won’t get into a rhythm with these chats; they’re more for you [the media] and your supporters.

“We are completely focused on doing our jobs, but we must use these performances to develop the mentality of a winning team.”

“If we can perform as well as we did today against a strong Arsenal side, and if we can replicate that against the other teams, which will be difficult, we can achieve great things.”

“We’re on our way, but we’re keeping our feet on the ground.” This is a time to be humble, to recognize that we can still grow, but also to be confident in the quality of this team and to develop trust.”
