QuoteBack in the Liverpool senior squad for their Champions League tie last night, as an unused substitute
Kelleher was pictured in training on Thursday, ahead of the visit of Brighton. Klopp revealed that Kelleher would not be in the squad at Anfield, with a start for the Liverpool under-21s pencilled in instead. (Thisisanfield.com, 1 Oct). The Arsenal U-21s are 1-0 up after an hour.

Undefeated in penalty shootouts! Sounds like he had a good game or at least a very good shootout. Anyone watching?
21 leagues and 25 cups.
Had very little to do in an awful game,made 1 really good save in the shootout,really needs to go and play somewhere though,it wont be at Liverpool I feel.........
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Had very little to do? Saved three penalties and the consensus is they were all excellent saves. Yeah it would be great if he played more, but his performances for us and Liverpool have been consistent. He looks assured, excellent with his feet and radiates calm.Originally Posted by joey B

Top class.
21 leagues and 25 cups.
Nothing to do in normal time. Superb performance in the penalties. Needs a loan or Bazunu-like move in January. Needs to be bold and demand it
the first two were good saves but wow, that third one was world class.
If it's a straight choice between big nights out at the Bernabeu next year or big nights out at Burnley, it really shouldn't take too long for him to make a decision.
Yeah ~ ~ Burnley every time.
Is it because I can see it better but the second save looks a great save to me ~ ~ All three were good.
Are Real in for him and making him first choice?
21 leagues and 25 cups.
He'll have a cracking view from the bench to be fair and he'll be able to soak the atmosphere in warming Alisson up too, easy decision!
Lad needs to move and move now. His career is passing him by and it's frustrating to watch.
hes 24 relax.
he's about a quarter of the way through his career*, he still hasn't reached double figures in league appearances, and almost half his career apperances have come in the league cup (8 of 19)
Nobody is panicing yet, but he unless Alisson gets injured or sold, he really does need to move for first team football
*assuming a career starts at 20, and ends with retirement at 36 = 16 year career, Kelleher is four years into it
he should move in the summer but i think the decision hes made to stay put until now is a good one. Liverpool have done an amazing job at developing him IMO so im not really sure i can question the lack of loans etc. CK has only been a keeper since u15s , he clearly needed to catch up on a lot from a development pov .He wont knock Alisson off the no1 spot so i think a move over the summer is a must. Hes spent 3 years developing in one of the best environments in world football. Pretty unique whatever way you look at it.
with any luck a team like leicester finds some investors and comes in for him as their no1 now is shocking.
Spot on piece of analysis there. His performances, reliability and confidence seem to validate the career path he has chosen. I'd agree next year would be the time to move on.
Not sure on that. All we are seeing are occasional glimpses of the results of the path he chose. We won't know how good he could have been with more games under his belt. We still don't know if he can handle being a number one. He gets injured in training so how's he going to be over a season? How will he cope with the ups and downs etc? He's been great in shootouts and looks good with the ball at his feet. That's about all we can say at this stage.
Although I've said this before, I do like the argument that he's a unique case who is further behind in terms of readiness for senior football who may have benefitted from the slow exposure.
Either way, it sounds like we all agree he should go at this stage.
I hope he starts one of the friendlies at least. Definitely deserves it with Bazunu not looking completely confident at the moment.

Only time will tell, but with no disrespect to Bazunu who is a bit of a prodigy and an incredible athlete, I'd put money on Kelleher winning more caps. Liverpool are manufacturing an exceptional keeper. It may well be another club who benefit from their investment. City outsourced Bazunu's development and it appears that there are still frailties and gaps in his development. He's learning and making mistakes in the full glare of the PL and that's not easy.
