He'll never walk on loan.

Proper No.2 now.

Fits style really well and very good prospect.

One f the reasons why I think the squad has progressed since CL win despite limited spend. Much better suited than Mignolet or Adrian

b_joseph · « **Reply #482 on:** September 22, 2021, 12:16:01 am »

Yeah doubt he goes on loan...if anything, he'll want to be a #1 somewhere permanently ( as it also helps him gain a footing at International level, too ), which we obviously wont be able to provide him for a very long time.

A fundamentally sound modern day GK. The cub should be really proud to develop someone as good as he is. And by the looks of it, we have some more along the way.

When he first played 2 years ago I thought he wasn't going to be any good. He's actually pretty good and decent no.2.

Really enjoyed his sweeping behind the defence yesterday. He got it spot on every time, only dodgy one was when Gomez probably had enough to get to the ball in the second half, but it's better to be sure and decisive at his age.

Also did well on a couple shots that he could easily have spilled or deflected out into Norwich players. He has come a long way in the last 2 years.

I think the heavy eyeliner is a fantastic ploy to throw off penalty takers.

He played in the 5-0 against Aston Villa. Actually 5 of that team (and one sub) have shown themselves as top half Championship or better: Kelleher, Hoever, Van den Berg, Chirivella, Elliott (and Clarkson).

It's still early, but I don't think he will be here very long. He will quickly outgrow being the no. 2.

As long as we put a buy back clause in any deal!

Fantastic backup, with plenty of time on his side too, so learning from the best for a few years ain’t the worst thing.

Samie · « **Reply #492 on:** October 16, 2021, 02:21:03 pm »

Another 2 years of being Ali's backup and then we sell unfortunately. He's too good to stay as a #2.

y2w902 · « **Reply #493 on:** October 16, 2021, 02:21:38 pm »

Cracking save, he's an amazing number 2 really.

SinceSixtyFive · « **Reply #494 on:** October 16, 2021, 02:22:02 pm »

Delighted he got the clean sheet.

DelTrotter · « **Reply #495 on:** October 16, 2021, 02:22:06 pm »

So good to have a class back up for once though maybe a bit too good in a weird way

MonsLibpool · « **Reply #496 on:** October 16, 2021, 02:23:39 pm »

Decent outing today.

Hedley Lamarr · « **Reply #497 on:** October 16, 2021, 02:23:52 pm »

When Alisson is out I have every confidence in him. He controls the area well, good with his feet, good shot-stopper. He's good enough to be a problem, because he's better than quite a few first choices in this league and that'll be apparent soon.

scatman · « **Reply #498 on:** October 16, 2021, 02:27:22 pm »

he's gonna be a problem soon, he's basically a younger Ali. Great save

He seems level headed, it’s great to see him starting games now so hopefully he will stick around for the long term, he has every chance of becoming our number 1 once Ali moves on

Erm Ali's got a contract here till he's in his mid 30's. He's not staying here for another 7 years as a backup.

Better on the ball than the Watford defenders today.

Damning with feint praise that. Danny Rose was an embarrassment to himself, and his profession but Ranieri actually looking at him and thinking ' he'll do fine against Salah' well, he'll be there less than the others.

A-Bomb · « **Reply #503 on:** October 16, 2021, 02:47:09 pm »

Fantastic performance, he will keep Ali on his toes with performances like that

At least he should get some action in the cup games.

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #504 on:** October 16, 2021, 02:49:06 pm »

Can't remember us ever having a better back up keeper than this lad.

Unintentionally!

Same applies with many of their midfield! And Ben Foster too, who is definitely good with his feet.

The low near post save and coming off his line to the edge of the area (past VVD) were brilliant. We have a number 2 who is both very good and entirely conducive with how we want to play.

Cracking backup keeper, Ireland and PL debut in the space of 4 days - he must be on cloud nine!

It's fair to say there is no step down in quality when he steps in for Ally. Tremendous keeper.

It was a cracking save. I think Ali is the best keeper in the league, but he makes me a tad nervous with the ball at his feet because he attempts stuff where the risk/reward ratio probably means he shouldn't. Kelleher is great with his feet, he always looks for the simplest pass and I like that, especially as our CBs are great ball playing defenders, give it them and let Matip weave his way through the midfield.

I don't think Kelleher will be here long, Danny Ward left as soon as a top flight club came calling and Kelleher is twice the keeper, could start for five or six clubs in the prem.

I wish he was 5 years younger... Could be such a great next keeper, but I doubt he'd stay as No.2 as it has been said. Deserves to play though, can't fault him for that.

He's not 23 until November so very much a baby for a keeper. And with his potential I could understand if he did get itchy feet.

He looks really confident and competent but not a patch on Young Ben Foster.

Can we give them some minutes up front? Either one? After all, Alisson can score, and Kelleher used to be a striker. We can't afford to have specialists in our quest for total football.
