Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili won’t “tolerate” his current situation and could leave in the near future, according to journalist James Pearce. “It wasn’t the cleanest performance I think we had, but those games, if you don’t play so well and then you still win it, keep the clean sheet, I think this brings confidence for the team for the rest of the season as well.

I’m happy that this afternoon it contributed to the three points and to getting the clean sheet.” The hope is that Alisson stays at Liverpool beyond this season, but speaking on The Athletic’s Walk On podcast [via Empire of the Kop], Pearce hinted that Mamardashvili could depart if that happens: “If Alisson does stay, Mamardashvili isn’t going to tolerate being backup for a third successive season. “I get the feeling that they’re quite happy with what they’ve got further down the line in terms of five, six, seven years’ time, but the immediate future is really uncertain.” Is Giorgi Mamardashvili good enough for Liverpool?

Liverpool need full confidence in Alisson’s eventual replacement being an outstanding option, but there are doubts about Mamardashvili in that respect. In an ideal world, Alisson will remain at Anfield for another two or three years, before a young goalkeeper is brought in to be his successor, rather than Mamardashvili, on current evidence.
