Is that just for Liverpool or are his Ireland caps included?
Liverpool rejected a bid of £15m for Kelleher from Nottingham Forest. No interest in selling him ATM …..
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
When ya think about it ~ A goalkeeper could really do with a pre-season at a club if he was moving, and especially if he was not an experienced goalkeeper.
Kelleher could just use any type of season at this stage of his careerOriginally Posted by seanfhear
Its really not that complicated!!!
If I hadn’t seen the game yesterday, I’d still be aware that Kelleher had a decent game by the absence of comment on this platform. (As I reach for my tin hat).
Nothing on the Bazunu thread and he conceded 3...
Not necessarily an inconsistency.
Two good saves advancing well on strikers. Didn't have a chance with O'Shea's header but in slow-motion from the goal camera, it looked like the timing of his dive was off.
On the other hand, I am really starting to see the benefit of his ability with the ball at his feet. He always seems to release it to his first or second option, whereas Allisson often changes his mind two or three times and gets himself in trouble much more than Kelleher
Those 2 saves were excellent and vital. Also closed down the angle for another one on one that fofana put wide. Trafford for Burnley seems to have had a really difficult season with Burnley fans forums strongly wanting him out of the team for the last few months despite been a big money signing. Distribution for him certainly a big issue as well as presence in the area and on crosses.
2 of the goals conceded by Southampton yesterday didn't look great but were deflections so unlucky for a keeper rather than any real blame I'd say
Probably because he's been playing well all season? Or as they put in on the Southampton forum - "I think Baz has enough credit in the bank via his previous saves to be cut some slack about yesterday's non saves."
Hopefully Kelleher keeps playing well and we have two keepers playing regularly and don't need to analyze everything to death. Alisson will be back soon though?

Kelleher makes BBC team of the week
Chosen by Garth crooks. Here's his rationale:
Caoimhin Kelleher (Liverpool): Alisson was out of action due to illness and so Kelleher made a rare appearance for Liverpool and played particularly well. The Republic of Ireland goalkeeper made two excellent saves against Burnley and in Alisson fashion stayed on his feet both times and forced the striker to make a poor decision.
First he denied Zeki Amdouni, who was clean through on goal, and later David Datro Fofana. Both Burnley's strikers should have scored and would have done had it not been for Kelleher's reading of the situations. Burnley had enough chances to get something out of this game but blew it.
Probably. I saw the goals and none of them stood out as being as a result of errors. Two were deflected and another was a good shot. One of the deflected ones took a crazy loop up into the air and dropped into the net but was impossible read.
Some people spend time in his thread making out every goal he concedes is an error and a travesty to goalkeeping as a profession. Nice that he conceded 3 and the world didn't end.
There's no deflection on the first one in fairness? Looks like he was fairly weak for that one; went in under his arm. Others were a rocket and a horrible deflection alright.
Yep. I think we are at the stage where GK just isn't a huge worry anymore so people don't need to get too bothered by a bad game or over excited by a good one. Bazunu has had a few rocky patches and bounced back. He's still so young that I'm sure he will have a few more tough runs. Kelleher still needs to play regularly so we can see how he deals with the ups and downs a but more, but I doubt anyone would have an issue with him starting for Ireland in a game at this point.
It's not "an embarrassment of riches" situation but it's not "an embarrassment" either. We have good options. One or two of them may still turn out to be world class options. But they are solid already.
Enough to be worrying about everywhere else though!
i found it interesting in the analysis that Damien Delaney said he should stay at Liverpool for another few seasons. Basically a why would you want to leave. Kenny Cunningham on the other hand said he was 'good enough to start for the majority of the top half teams in the league and it would soon reach the point where he'd need to leave'
Getting on the Team of the week is good for his profile. Forest bidding 15 Million for him at the end of January sounds about the correct valuation for him at this stage but I can see why Liverpool wouldnt want to sell him. I think that is the 1st bid that we've really seen publicly for him so hopefully its a sign that come the summer there may be more.
Its really not that complicated!!!
He'll never really prove it until he does it though, will he?
I'll take Cunningham's side of that argument all day long
Delaneys argument for him to stay another few years would be fine if he was 20. At some point a footballer has to prove hes a footballer
Its really not that complicated!!!
