Player Notes:
Cavalieri is the third Brazilian who puts pen to paper at Liverpool, following in the footsteps of Aurelio and Lucas. The shot stopper played over 100 games for Palmeiras since making his debut in 2002, but when he joined Liverpool he was second choice at Palmeiras to legend Marcos.
As expected Cavalieri mainly got his chance in Liverpool's goal in his debut season in the local cup competitions. He conceded one goal vs Crewe in the 3rd round of the League cup and was hardly impressive in Liverpool's 2-4 loss vs Tottenham in the 4th round at White Hart Lane. He was in goal vs PSV Eindhoven in December when Liverpool had already progressed from the group phase of the Champions League and kept a clean sheet in the 3rd round of the FA Cup vs Preston North End. Cavalieri will have a difficult task to displace Jose Reina as Liverpool's number 1, but if something happens to Pepe, God forbid, than it's very important to have an able deputy. |
