Liverpool suffered a disappointing 3-2 defeat against Turkish side Fenerbahce in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
The Reds opened the scoring thanks to a fantastic Trey Nyoni volley, but they were pegged back just moments later as Mason Greenwood's deflected free kick found its way into the back of the net.
Liverpool then found themselves back in front as substitute Alexander Isak headed into the back of the net, but they once again conceded just a few minutes later.
English left-back Archie Brown scored an equaliser for Fenerbahce before Vedat Muriqi made it 3-2.
Manager Andoni Iraola will be incredibly disappointed that his side threw away a lead twice. There's no doubt there were some poor performances out there.
The result made it three games without a win in normal time for Liverpool after they drew with Chelsea (although they won on penalties) before suffering a defeat in the Premier League against champions Arsenal.
One player whose performances have been questioned of late is goalkeeper Alisson Becker. The Brazilian international simply hasn't been up to scratch in recent months, and it could be time for him to have a spell out of the team.
Alisson could undoubtedly have done better for multiple goals against Fenerbahce, while he's looked incredibly shaky overall.
Alisson also failed to adjust his feet and get back into position for Kai Havertz's goal for Arsenal at the weekend in the Premier League.
The 34-year-old has undoubtedly been one of the best goalkeepers of the Premier League era, but that doesn't mean he's invincible anymore.
Alisson's Premier League statistics at Liverpool
Liverpool brought in substitute goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili as a long-term replacement for Alisson, but it could be time to give him more of a regular run-out in the Premier League and Champions League.
Alisson simply hasn't been good enough, and although he's one of Iraola's favourites, the Liverpool manager might need to make a tough decision.
Only Virgil van Dijk has managed more minutes in all competitions than Alisson so far this season, with Mamardashvili only utilised in cup competitions.
Alisson has been the number one goalkeeper for both the Premier League and Champions League, but that shouldn't continue for much longer.

Alisson still deserves respect

Nobody can take anything away from what Alisson has achieved in the game. The Brazilian still deserves plenty of respect for what he's done for the club, but there is always going to be a time when he naturally filters out of the side.
That might come sooner than Liverpool might have expected, but there's absolutely no doubt that he's dropped off this season.
Liverpool need to be preparing for the long term, and giving Mamardashvili more regular minutes could be hugely beneficial.
Whether Mamardashvili is capable of stepping up remains to be seen, but he's produced some strong performances for Liverpool since joining the club.
