I don't rate Kelleher as highly as some Liverpool fans do. I think you can get away with it against sides you'd expect to end up in the bottom half of the league but this is really bad news with the games we've got coming up.

Alisson out for 6 weeks. 

Slot said after the game he thought it would be a month, I said it looked slightly worse than that.

I don’t think he’s let us down so far though, has he? As far as number 2’s go, he is one of the best around.

I don't think having Kelleher in goal is going to be as bad as we think it might be. Our defense is doing very well and I am sure Slot has a plan for how he wants to get through this period. I don't think with the fixture congestion we were going to get away with a perfect run anyways.

There might not have been any mistakes worthy of a YouTube compilation but there were certainly goals last season that he let in that were extremely soft or ones you just know Alisson wouldn't have conceded. I'm not saying he's a bad number two but there's definitely plenty of Liverpool fans out there who don't think the difference between the two is big. It is. Or they go over the top and say Kelleher would be first choice for 15 other sides in the league or something silly. 

Liverpool do need better given Alisson's injury record and it makes sense why they went for another keeper this summer even though he won't arrive until next year.

I think there's a big drop in quality between Alisson & Kelleher. But honestly, I think there's a big drop in quality between Alisson and most other keepers in the league. As far as a number 2 goes, Kelleher's been pretty solid when called upon.

I'm not too concerned, but maybe Alisson's regular injury absences are why we've spent a lot on that Georgian fella at Valencia. They've got to be, right? Weirdly though, I feel more comfortable with Kelleher as this new keeper we'll be bringing in next year's meant to be a bit shit on the ball despite being a reportedly brilliant shot stopper. So I think there will be a steep learning curve for him to get used to our system.

At this point though, I feel like we should come to expect at least one lengthy injury absence from Alisson a season - unfortunately. It's been the case for a while now.

@LFCMike do you think Trent’s leaving for Madrid in the summer. I’ll be gutted tbh

Honestly, I've no idea. Would like to think it gets sorted. I'd be gutted to lose any of the three at this stage but understand the other two are a bit different given the age they're at.

With the Carvajal injury being a serious one, you'd think Real Madrid would now pursue Trent in a more aggressive fashion.

Regarding Kelleher, Liverpool fans I spoke to on the weekend all unanimously said they feel like he's always got an error in him. I asked if that's because you have one of the best goalies in the world and that got a missed response. Either way, I'd take him here which is probably about his level.
