Sounds more like, tall for his weight ~ Lurch, perhaps ? !Originally Posted by geysir
If anything, he seems to be slightly slow with his diving. Especially, it seems to take him that fraction of a second longer to get down to low shots.
Maybe that's being too upright, or having poor footwork meaning that he needs that extra fraction to sort his feet out, I don't know.
Can some post good video footage of the performance ? I haven't really seen the best quality of video to make good assessments.
All the goals are here Seanfhear if that helps

They get worse every time I watch them!

Probably a bit to much movement to Kelleher's right for the first goal.
2nd ~ looks like it went through him and maybe that was one to try to save with his feet.
3rd ~ no one is saving that when the defence lets a player at this level do as he pleases.
4th ~ maybe a bit too much to his right.
Anyway it was like an exhibition friendly where both sides agree to let the defenders have a day off.
Mad game ~ When defenders take the day off ~ It never looks good for goalkeepers.
They go in every time. It's as if you don't get a second chance ! ! ! !
I think its unrelaistic to think he will get a premier league move
He really shoudl think aboiut Italy or the like
becuase if he stays in England its a champsionship move at best
Given some of the commentary, I was almost surprised when viewing that the highlights didn't show Kelleher throwing the ball into his own net over and over again. Certainly I think he got down too slowly for the second, perhaps exposing a goalkeeper suffering from a lack of regular first team football and therefore match-sharpness. But I've thought the same of Bazunu on several occasions during the past season, who has no such excuse.
Beyond that, if Kelleher weren't Irish and I wasn't therefore overly scrutinising his performance, I don't think I would have particularly thought about the goalkeeper's role in any of the other three goals.
I think we're probably overscrutinising all our goalkeepers' performances. I too was expecting to see calamities rather than "maybe could do better" moments. But there was a clear Kelleher being at Liverpool surely must be a better option than an out of form Bazunu feeling from some posters here and I think that argument holds little water now. We have 3 (or more) keepers whose A games are top notch but are for various reasons inconsistent or performing below their best. I think they're each as likely as the other to play really well and each as likely as the other to slip up in some way. My personal preference remains Bazunu.
No, upright, solid backbone.
If Kelleher decides to hang on for another year at Anfield, his successor as No. 2 goalkeeper may already be on the books, thereby facilitating the Corkman's departure. Former Pat's keeper Vít?zslav Jaroš "has been catching the eye at the U21 Euros".

Linked with a move to Wolves.

Just for some context, from fbref.com, goalkeepers who played at least 1,000 minutes in first tier sides in Italy, Spain, France and Germany in 2022/23
(R = relegated):
Carnesecchi, 23, Cremonese (R); Di Gregorio, 25, Monza; Dragowski, 25, Spezia (R);
Mamardashvili, 22, Valencia; Vilar, 25, Celta de Vigo;
Chevalier, 21, Lille; Diouf, 23, Reims; Donnarumma, 24, PSG; Lafont, 24, Nantes;
Muller, 25, Stuttgart; Kobel, 25, Dortmund; Christensen, 24, Hertha Berlin (R);
Burnley have just signed James Trafford from City for 19 million. This has been my fear for Kelleher, you can only be the hot young prospect so long before other younger guys start coming through and if you're not making progress you get left behind very quickly.
Kelleher is going to be 25 years old this November, thats only 2 or 3 years younger than Kieran O'Hara who was once seen as a decent prospect at Man United.
I hope he has something lined up, another season as a back up would be a disaster.
Its really not that complicated!!!
Trafford's 20, and will be 21 in October, and has had two loan spells at Bolton, and another with Accrington Stanley. Last season alone, he played more than twice the number of games(52) than Kelleher, has in his career to date(22).

Yep, theres only so long training under a great goalkeeper with a great coaching staff can be used as a positive. A 24/25 year old is far too old to have played so little football and still be expected to be a top player
Its really not that complicated!!!
Doesn't seem to be overwhelmed by offers. Season starts in 10 days.
Kelleher not going anywhere, according to RousingThe Kop (3 August). The Swede Leopold Wahlstedt (24), who was being considered as Kelleher's replacement as Liverpool's no. 2, is going to Blackburn or Brondby, not Anfield.
Club agree to sell 24-year-old, after claims Liverpool wanted him to replace 'outstanding' player (rousingthekop.com)
I wonder is there a known record for least number of senior club appearances by an international keeper by the age of 25 - if so, Kelleher must be closing in on it.
