Back on the bench in the league cup against arsenal. Relying on an Alisson injury for any more senior game time for the remainder of the season I’d imagine. Not for me
I don't know - Champions League is back next month, so a couple of domestic Cup runs and he'll probably be back in for them. But it's really not ideal alright.
not ideal at all but he'll play next thursday in the second leg
Well they've a league game at the weekend and Alisson hasn't played in three weeks, so it seems they want to ensure he's match sharp for the weekend. Once he's back to regular league games, you can leave the cup to Kelleher.
Not saying that will happen, but it's certainly possible.
I wouldnt hold my breath. This close to a final Id expect Klopp to pick his best team
With the focus on playing out from the back, distribution is a key element. Bazunu has already seen a penalty conceded because of his distribution issues. We got away with it then, but that's no guarantee we will when it happens the next time. Against Serbia, he ran out to clear the ball and completely missed it. He was almost beaten in injury time from a very long range free kick. When Kelleher races out to clear, he always clears it away from danger.Originally Posted by Supreme feet
Kelleher didn't play against Arsenal last season, not even in the League Cup tie. Against Leicester, he had no chance with the pot shot from 30 yards. But he's already saved 3 penalties in the League Cup this season, and may be needed to save more.
FWIW that was never a penalty. Hendrick clearly won the ball. VAR referred it because of that and if that ref wasn’t so in love with Ronaldo and his 100th goal, it would have been overturned
Bazunu has high level distribution. Mypost is either trolling or has an inability to perceive reality in the way that normal humans do. I like Kelleher and his distribution is high level too — but he’s also botched it by trying to be too cute. Both keepers are high level in many ways but have growing pains. I tend to give Bazunu the edge as he’s younger, getting way more first time minutes, and I think there’s more room to grow.
This thread is so focused on searching for every mistake kelleher and bazunu have made to prove one of them will never be a top keeper. All keepers make mistakes. Take last night ramsdale had 3 very poor mistakes with crosses that he was just dog lucky that Liverpool didn't score from. If any of our 2 had those mistakes there would be loads of talk on here saying they would never be top level
Travers might turn out to be better than both of them = Who really knows ?
An interesting thing to see is how Bazunu will avoid the same issues in the coming years.
The only way out of sitting on the bench at Man City for him are (a) leaving the club permanently or (b) taking the number 1 spot. The latter, with the best will in the world, is odds against just by its very nature.
I think Bazunu will be off to play in a top European league next season, either on loan or for a relatively big money transfer. He seems like a confident and ambitious chap and I don't see him having any fear of a move outside England.
