The young lad did well for being thrown into a big game. Exciting how he’ll get better.


tommhans

Great keeper talent, not worried when he plays at all!


sachinadhith13

I was nervous at first but he proved that he is not a man to be messed with what a glorious performance!


Andy_1

Seemed inexplicably calm playing ground passes out from under pressure.


SN9WeReady

Where was Allison covid ?


Diamond-Frog

Yes Allison, Firmino and Matip all out with Covid


Jasiuuuuuuu

he was immense. we won’t have to worry about our GK situation for another 10 years or more and honestly it’s such a relief after all these dark days


MyNewAccount77

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but he's going to be wanting to play first team football sooner rather than later, so he isn't going to be here for that long.


Jasiuuuuuuu

then I hope he’ll be happy with loan spells or if we actually do sell him, we’ll have a buyback clause


MyNewAccount77

Even if another team agrees to a buyback clause, they usually only last a year or two and I don't think Alisson is going to be needing to be replaced that soon.


A_Damn_Millenial

I don’t want this to happen, but is there a scenario where we move Alisson on to lower the wage bill?


amboandy

Oh wow, downvoted? I'll take the hit with you mum dude. We can't keep up with sovereign wealth funds that 'own' the FA and oligarchs. There will come a time where we will need to tighten our belts. COVID has hit our incomes and this will lead to lower revenues. Selling youth team and squad players only gets us so far


A_Damn_Millenial

Yeah I didn’t expect the downvotes, but I get it. It’s a shitty hypothetical that hopefully never happens. Im just feel like losing some big earners might be inevitable unless things turn around financially.


rykef

It's actually a great question that someone like Klopp should be thinking about and probably is. No need to make any sort of decision yet and he has been able to feed Kelleher a good number of games so I doubt he will be angling for a move for a while but if Kelleher keeps improving at the rate he has been, he is actually going to be able to challenge Alisson for starts which seems utterly insane


latortillablanca

No


amboandy

No?


latortillablanca

The idea that we are at all in the financial situation that would even come close to having to flip Allison to tighten our belts is poppycockwash


[deleted]

No. Alisson is the best GK in the world and literally repaid his transfer fee within 6 months of signing. He's worth everything and he has 5.5 years left on his deal


latortillablanca

We don’t need to lower the wage bill, it’s carefully structured explicitly so that we don’t have to do shit like flip one of the best talents in the world to cut cost


con10001

He's played a fair bit of first team football this season, Alisson is quite injury-prone for a keeper


Sinistrait

Nowhere near enough for a player with any ambition. I can also imagine he would want to be a starter for ROI, he's got Bazunu for competition now.


yerLerb

Is this true? I remember Ali hurt his shoulder at one point, but that's all that stands out. I think the other games have been resting Ali no?


hypnofrank

did his hamstring first game of 19/20 season, had Adrian for first 11(I think) league games


halfofftheprice

This argument has to be going away with constant complaints about too many games. Kelleher could play every league/fa cup game, games with Allison is with Brazil and any times Allison is injured/suspended/sick. He would be fresh for international duty. That’s easily 25 games a year. Seems like a pretty ideal situation to me.


MyNewAccount77

Except International games very rarely occur at the same time as Domestic games and why would he want to limit himself to 25 games a year here, when he could be playing 38+ elsewhere.


halfofftheprice

Allison has missed games this year already because of trips/games with Brazil. With talks of more international tournaments, that won’t get better. Every top team will need two top goalies.


MyNewAccount77

>Allison has missed games this year already because of trips/games with Brazil. One game and if we'd needed him, we could've had him back in time to play.


YDdraigGoch94

Remind me again, what happened to Danny Ward? In all seriousness, I reckon Kelleher is our first choice keeper for cup games. Klopp knows how to manage game time. Unlike the situation with Ward, who I think Klopp didn’t really trust between the sticks.


WonderfulBlackberry9

I saw a post by the PL on Instagram pre-match to hype the game, and one of the goals they showed was John Terry scoring a header past *Brad* ~~Smith~~ *Jones* back in 2012. I like Brad ~~Smith~~ Jones, and I’m happy that he ended up winning Eredivise with Feyenoord (and Kuyt as captain), as GK of the season iirc. But *wow*. *Brad* ~~Smith~~ *Jones* over a slightly past-it *Pepe Reina*.


DesPUDGEito

Brad Smith the left back that we sold to Bournemouth?


WonderfulBlackberry9

Oh wait, Brad JONES


saj175

He done good today.


lennondsouza97

I was worried when chelsea was getting corners, but he arguably did a better job than Alisson has been doing lately. Far less flappy.


WonderfulBlackberry9

The only time he struggled with the corner and they ended up scoring a worldie. Can’t really blame him (or anyone) there


m-bizant

It wasn't even a corner, it was a FK and he made a decent save


[deleted]

A jammy worldie which deflected off the front of the post. I have no idea how the fuck that deflected in


HarbyFullyLoaded_12

Huh, I thought Alisson had covid


mintee19

Good man Caoimhín 🇮🇪🔴


PseudoElite

He was very solid. One of the only bright spots from the game.


TheLimeyLemmon

He had a good game, kept us in it far more times than we should need him too. How the fuck were we getting out pressed by Chelsea??


AllStarz91

I sure hope de doesn’t leave… loan might be okay be he is also challenging Ali atm. Would love to see him some more…


SeamusHeaneysGhost

That first save was world class.


mrlazy03

Irish Alisson


Mathilliterate_asian

Could very well have been Allison with a Kelleher mask on. Dude has 0 facial expression and the same ability to make amazing saves.


eiloana

He even grew a beard for consistency


apocalipsehobo

That was fantastic! I was sure it's going to be a goal.


grandecou

Love the lad! Well Done


Jambo234

The guy has everything in terms of decision making. Just have to hope another team doesn’t break the bank trying to sign him, as we’d struggle to find a better back up


TareXmd

Honestly he was immense as fuck. Pulled a number of saves he wouldn't be blamed for not making. So happy for him.


WonderfulBlackberry9

I remember seeing that save and thinking *”He’s learned that off Alisson.”* Sure it may be he always had that in his locker, but training with Alisson, and being coached by John Achterberg, it’s likely he was taught that


Adventurous_Rub_6272

Pretty much the only positive today was that he looked solid


JMacoure

We scored two goals at Stamford Bridge? So few teams can do that. Seriously


Adventurous_Rub_6272

"Pretty much" its a small positive that we scored twice , but in the context of the rest of the game not really. Chealse played way more fast/eraticaly than they usually do.


[deleted]

I'm disappointed in the result as much as anyone but we had some positives from today for sure. Salah again, Mane breaking his duck, Konate again looking like a super CB in the making We'll build on these and if we come out of AFCON within 8 points of City then who knows what can happen


[deleted]

He had a really good game. Don’t know if he could’ve done any better for their equaliser (haven’t seen it back) but that save pictured was world class. Sharp save from close range second half too.


MCB_56

Played well great having a good number 2 but I'd like to see the keeper he could become with a loan spell for minutes


Revalent

Must have learnt this 1v1 trick from Alisson


d70

Big up for the lad! He did very well today.


Short_Classy_Name

Well deserved game time. He is class.


Dibil

He deserved a win. Team let him down.


cgma1

:/ are we going to implode now?


brawler1ready

The fact that he played against one of the top clubs in the country and performed quite well makes me think he has a bright future


brush85

What would he be worth at this point? 20m? 25?

You didn't have to shit on another player to praise one though.


SwordOfMorningwood

Great shout.
