Caoimhín Kelleher

I suspect Randolph signed for West ham for a final contract payday knowing that he would be playing second choice to fabianski.

A sub keeper in the Premier League will likely get paid more than a starting keeper in the championship 

.

Wow I didn’t even notice when I saw this earlier. Just saw it online now. Idiots.

It was corrected at HT cause he had a new jersey with the correct spelling in the 2nd half.
 

 

He seems to be far more suited to Liverpool's style of play than Adrian which may go against him in terms of a loan move. He's been really good over the last two games it must be said - looks like a seasoned pro out there and being no. 2 at a club as big as Liverpool isn't the worst place to be for a 22 year old. Can't see him going anywhere in Jan but possibly a loan move to a Championship club or the likes next season would be good for his development.

The general consensus was good luck to Kelleher but don’t get your hopes up too much and Bazunu is by far the better prospect.  

I genuinely do think Bazunu is still our best goalkeeping prospect that’s not to say Kelleher can’t be a top class goalkeeper himself. 

Kellehers distribution is so good that really if he can do the goalkeeping basics effectively he really should play at a very high level by default. 

Kenny wants to play out from the back etc so really he should consider playing Kelleher going forward as he offers that dimension/quality that Randolph doesn’t offer and most importantly he’s now proven he can be competent and relaxed in high pressure games.

Not that Randolphs passing is terrible it isn’t but Kellehers is elite even at this relatively early stage of his career.

Yeah i was of the impression that he was extremely ropey myself but that was based on some of the hammerings they took in cups with him in goal. Was it against Arsenal last year when he could have done better for a few goals? He also looked far too wirey and didnt give the impression that he was commanding enough to be a keeper. 

Early days but more than happy to be proved wrong. 

 

In fairness he has looked like a totally different player over these last two games compared to his earlier outings. He's now looking like the player Klopp has been telling everyone he is for the last couple of seasons.

That adds up given the info above and Adrian has played 5 already this year. Throw in Kellehers 2 and that would be 7 already as a theoretical No.2 this year. Tells you the sort of gametime he might expect especially if Alisson keeps picking up niggly injuries.
