The OFFICIAL Liverpool FC thread - SlotBall era has begun

[trileacman]

Kelleher's problem has nothing to do with his ability, I think its because he's bland as in not a big personality, not a big name, he's from Ireland not a big nation and that he's always been a second choice

He'll do well elsewhere but will get less protection from other defenses and will be exposed more often like he was against England

His nationality has nothing to do with why he isn't first choice.  Liverpool have had Zimbabwean, Polish and American first choice keepers in the past, hardly footballing strongholds. 

He is on a great run of form but Allison is a better keeper. 

Ali is a very good keeper but does the odd howler, remember Arsenal last year? He's prone to a brain fart every 4-5 matches. I always thought Kelleher was a poorer goalie but now I'm not so sure. He's fantastic in possession, certainly Alison's equal. Also he's been absolutely flawless this past 6 games, I don't remember a single mistake really, there's certainly a strong argument he's now as good as Alison.

The quad is on

Shortest odds I've seen to win quadruple in November. Could give Manchester City awful trimming on Sunday. When Sporting, Tottenham can score four goals against Pep Guardiola team how many will Liverpool score 🤔

Yeah that's not how football works...

If you say so.

Think it's unfair to say that Allison has a brain fart every 4/5 games, he makes mistakes yes but they are few and far between. He is also one of the best 1 v 1 keepers I can remember. 

Kelleher has benefited from a good run of games and been very good as you say, but if Liverpool where playing a champions league final in the morning and both 100% fit I know who I would be picking. 

[bennydorano]

Liverpool were immense today - fair play. Bradley BBC man of the match.

Great tackle on Mbappe, Club Brugges fella did the exact same sort of tackle on Forrest late on in the Celtic match and got a yellow card, got the ball clear as day

And the Georgian lad is on the way in next summer as Alisson's long term replacement.

Kelleher has to and will leave Liverpool. He's far too good to be a number 2.

IF football /sport worked the way yourself and MR2 believe it works, the bookies wouldn't be minted

[Look-Up!]

Very impressed by Kelleher lately. Always thought he didn't make himself look big enough in goal at times and doesn't look as physically imposing as Alisson but you can't argue with his record of late. At 26 maybe finally maturing.

[tiempo]

Yeah he looked boyish in goals for a time, last few years, but he looks a different animal now, the biggest complement I can give him is they may consider cashing in on Alisson, would be a great achievement for his perseverance

[Gabriel_Hurl]

Konate out 5-6 weeks apparently

[gawa316]

Has been having a great season and will be missed against city, especially his physicality.

Think I'd go for Gomez to start in his place.

Any word on how long Bradley will be out?

[north_antrim_hound]

Konate out 5-6 weeks apparently

Endrick tried three times to hurt him with late tackles and succeeded when the game was practically gone from them. A horrible child and has been at this sort of thing before. Real Madrid have cynical streak in them, now Ramos  is gone the dirt levels hasn't got any better.

Yes never noticed at time but wee Gypsy. I'd say the last one done it

[Turf]

Gomez is a more than capable replacement.

[trileacman]

Gomez is a poor centre back, average right back and oddly enough a good left back.

He was at the centre of the 7-2 shambles against Villa. He's really not a good centre half, given he can't judge the flight of the ball in the air at all.

The year VVD was out I thought he stood in well. As a back up I'd be content enough with him. That said Konate is a big loss. Playing really well.
