Caoimhín Kelleher

[Doc_Piptorious]

Ali is still a level above for me, maybe it’s silly to think so but I’m convinced Ali would’ve saved the Brighton goal. Kelleher is good enough to start for many Pl clubs but he isn’t better than Ali, however given the injuries Ali gets then it’s great having Kelleher around

He’ll only have 1 year left in his contract in the summer, a bargain for someone. If I’m Chelsea, then he’s top of my list to buy

A few levels above for me. Ali is a best in the world level keeper. Kelleher is a good to potentially very good keeper.


When we bought Ali he was the age Kelleher is now and already being spoken of as one of the best in the world.


Really happy we have Mamardashvili bought though. For me he is already at least on the same level as Kelleher, probably a notch above him thanks to being a regular starter for a number of seasons and also has the advantage of being a few years younger than Kelleher.

Given that Ali is peak age for a keeper, a better comparison would be between Kellerher and Ali aged 25

Already made that comparison. Ali was being regarded as one of the best in the world or on the way to being so at the age Kelleher is now.



At almost 26 Kelleher is a good back up keeper that might be good enough to be a very good number one away from Liverpool. At almost 26 Alisson was a starter at Liverpool, had been a starter at Roma and was already one of the most highly regarded keepers in the world.

Gulacsi contract up at end of season at Leipzig, so that could be a potential transfer, especially as English clubs clearly don't rate him as highly as they should.

I could see Ali saving the Saka goal that put Arsenal 1 up too.

And I know it’s pedantic because it was ruled out for handball anyway, but I think he’d save the Frimpong ‘goal’ last night in the event if it had counted.

Kelleher is very good, but I wouldn’t have anyone ahead of Ali.

This is exactly what went through my mind as well last night - Kelleher's reactions are excellent, but Alissons's are next level and that, combined with his size, means his stops more of these 1-1 shots

[Charly]

I think those short goalkicks are going to cost us a few points.

Apart from that he looks top class.

Liverpool best start for any new manager has been under Kelleher's keepership mainly. I think we are vastly underrating his presence for us.

Don't think anyone is to be fair.

Saying he is not as good as Alisson is no knock on Kelleher as the exact same thing could be said about almost every other professional goalkeeper. Alisson has been at best in the world level for the past six or seven years.

Am I the only one who thinks Ali is better with his feet than Kweev?

Am I the only one who thinks Ali is better with his feet than Kweev?

Nope.

I think Alisson is far better with his feet. Alisson can receive the ball under more pressure and will look to play a pass more often than he goes long, whereas Kelleher goes long more than Alisson.

Again not a knock on Kelleher as I think the going long under pressure is a tactical thing that Slot wants from Kelleher.

Exactly, and it's not punting out long. Salah is often ready, and the ball is usually ideally played for him to receive. If Ali was playing he'd be given strict orders to do exactly the same.

Kweev is probably just one level below Ali. Not several like mentioned by someone above.

Alisson is great, but people forget he's let in some stupid goals in the past. He's not invincible. Would he have stopped the saka goal? Dont know. I've seen easier stuff go through him before. I really like Kelleher. One thing I really like is he seems to always be fit as well. He's brilliant.If we didnt have Alisson we'd have been claiming Kelleher is one of the best keepers in the world, best one we've had in years. One thing I dont like about marmaduk is he runs out pretty far sometimes which could be suicide in the prem.

Nobody's invincible and even the best make mistakes.
Alisson is routinely outstanding though.

[Norbs]

He still looks like a child who's drawn on a beard to play an adult in the school play
