Caoimhín Kelleher

It's the same technique he used vs Sparta Prague.  The difference being that there was no Gomez to rescue the situation this time around. He's slow to react to Amad's winner. It's as if he thinks the defender has forced him wide enough. He should try to save it with his feet. He did make some good saves though. Alisson probably does better with at least one of the two goals mentioned. Are you still trying to convince us that a save widely recognised as top drawer was actually a mistake?  You save Gomez "saved" Kelleher, would it not be more accurate to say Kelleher saved Gomez? If Kelleher doesn't pull off a remarkable save, then Gomez doesn't have any chance to make a clearance. Both are poor saves. Poor technique. Change your jocks, tell your ma you're going outside into the real world for a change, and breathe some real air. Everyone needs a day off. You've been hard at it for awhile now. Good lad.

Love when one of our keepers concedes multiple posters on here become goalkeeping analysts

But I had mentally noted that he was atrocious and annoying.  Dixon is on NBC a lot and his commentary is awful at the best of times. He sounds completely disinterested and bored, like the job is beneath him which is ironic given his career

In what is a sad commentary on how far United have fallen, I rewatched much of the match last night (allow us our small victories). As mentioned, when Diallo scored, Dixon said "Kelleher has to do better". When they showed the replay he actually started to rant again but the commentator cut him off. He was just livid that United scored. Throw in the cap rant and it was one wierd afternoon of Co Comms....

For context Alissons in the League this year is 19 goals conceded with and xGC of 25.7. Liverpools xGC went over the 4 goal mark yesterday.  He definitely could work on getting a stronger hand to point blank saves like the first goal but even at that teams score rebounds from point blank saves every day of the week and it’s as much an indication of defenders being off the pace as much as anything else.  I know stats aren’t everything and he’s not perfect but some of the talk on here is as usual with Kelleher laughable.  yep its great to see his improvement. Especially when Bazunu was bottom of this stat last season

Every goal he conceded vs United was to his left. I'd have to rewatch some of the efforts he has conceded this season but id be interested to see if there was a trend there.

A good save to deny Menuier. He didn't catch it right, which helped Kelleher a little.
