Then again with Alison Becker currently you seem to be guaranteed 10-15 games a season if your a sub, deffo something to consider especially as we are one of the best clubs going at the moment.
TO be fair, Alisson played the whole season when he was in the first season with us. It was last season that had an extensive period of injury for him. He does not have a history of being injury prone in his previous seasons before coming to Liverpool, so it might be too early to determine whether in the long term, Alisson is going to continue to suffer injuries that keepers usually do not. But of course that could happen. But regardless, Kelleher, if he continues to play well like this when Alisson is out with injuries, especially in the scenario you mentioned, then he will demand to be recognized as first choice rather than just backup. It is a good headache but one I hope we have.
We definitely need two goalkeepers that donāt see the drop off quite so drastically, It seems odd for a goalie to pick up a third injury in such a small space of time and hence why I said it, maybe theyāve all been freak injuries and are a result of the period we are in. The shoulder one was a clash with Trent and this seems to be a hammy which is common at the moment.
I guess we will see but if I was Kelleher Iād be optimistic about playing, and even if that was 10-15 games a season til my 26th it is still incredibly young for a goalie, and who knows he may even become that good he offers an challenge.
One thing is before the Ajax game I just couldnāt envisage two clean sheets with Becker injured as the game went on last night I felt comfortable on anything close to the goal, glad we didnāt see if he could save the penalty but if it had been 4-0 at that point I wouldnāt have minded a glance.
Itās amazing how different he looks playing for the first team compared to the u23ās, he looks confident on crosses good with ball on floor and very good passing, his form for u23 had me a bit worried he was playing against Ajax but he has been very good in both his starts.
Heās been earning his letters one clean-sheet half at a time. If/when he concedes Henderson is tasked with ripping them off and he has to start from KELHR again.
