Former Liverpool goalkeeper Friedel was interviewed recently. He said that Alisson's absence has a huge impact on Liverpool.
Friedel said: "Alisson is one of the legends of the Liverpool Football Club. He is very good in one-on-one defense. You can use the high defensive line with confidence because you know he is behind you. Liverpool will miss him very much on the pitch and also off the pitch when things are not going well. He Can help stabilize the situation and ensure that the players stay focused."
"Mamardashvili is a very good goalkeeper, but in terms of Premier League experience, he is still a newbie. He is tall and looks good, but at this moment, he is not Alisson."
"Unfortunately, Kelleher also left when Alisson was absent, and he was used to playing at Anfield and playing with the Liverpool lineup. They missed him very much."
Friedel believes that Liverpool's winless momentum in the domestic arena will continue. : "Against Villa, I have to predict a draw. Liverpool have conceded a lot of goals, and given how Salah has reacted in the Champions League, they may have one or two other issues off the pitch that need to be sorted out. But they will come out of it, they have too much firepower. I don't think Liverpool will lose. But Villa will be full of confidence in this game."
Villa goalkeeper Martinez was rumored to be involved with Manchester United this summer, and his state has declined since then. Friedel said: "This has affected him. I have seen Martinez, he is a great person, a top professional player. "
"I was a little surprised to see his behavior at the end of last season. It was really like saying goodbye, so when you saw that, I naturally thought he was going to transfer. From the outside, he was mentally prepared for that transfer and not mentally prepared to stay. "
"But having met him, I know he loves Aston Villa and will work very hard. Is he still one of the best goalkeepers in the world? Yes. Can we get him back to form? Absolutely, no doubt, a slight dip in form is not that bad."
"He is one of the top five goalkeepers in the world, and starting from a club like Villa, there are only a handful of clubs that you can consider moving to. If it's Barcelona and you're from South America, I can understand that kind of move. I'm glad he stayed because it's hard to find such a good goalkeeper."
