Caoimhín Kelleher

Yup

Do you run Kenny Kids or something?

An Irish player can have a bad game every now and then

It's not what John's going to want to hear but, having seen the four goals back this morning with added replays and improved picture quality, there were issues with Kelleher on all four. 

The first one was a reasonably decent shot to be fair, but Kelleher seemed a bit slow to get down. The second one was the worst of the four, it snuck under his body, he really should have been saving that. The last two were more positional issues, he seemed way too far over to the right side of his goal in both cases. He wasn't saving the very well placed shot for the third even if he was in the centre of the goal, but standing so far over was probably what encouraged the shot in the first place. He probably saves the fourth one if his positioning is better, he seems to have lost his bearings a bit running backwards towards his goal as Southampton attacked.

As Ireland supporters it's almost impossible for us not to regularly compare Kelleher and Bazunu, it's just the way of it. But Bazunu played over 30 games this season and I don't think he had one where conceded as many potentially saveable goals as Kelleher conceded in his solitary league appearance yesterday.

Obviously rustiness will have played a part as well, but I'm not sure I see a Premier League team spending the money to sign him as an out and out first choice at this point, unless Liverpool significantly drop their asking price. I'd almost prefer to see him get a full year out of the spotlight as a regular in the Championship being honest. But I doubt any Championship team would pay the fee, unless maybe someone like Leicester. It's entirely possible he ends up back on the Liverpool bench again next season.
