Liverpool have a star-studded squad of players, but former Red Robbie Keane spoke about a player who hasn’t kicked a ball this season, highlighting his talents within our team.
Speaking to the club’s website, the 42-year-old spoke about Caoimhin Kelleher: “He is certainly a goalkeeper who should be number 1, but when you have a world-class goalkeeper in front of you like Alisson, he’ll just have to wait.” your moment.
‘Definitely very impressed with him. We have been very lucky in the Irish team to have very good goalkeepers.

‘I’ve definitely been impressed by Caoimhin, just the way he plays: how comfortable, how calm he is in possession of the ball, he has a real presence about him.
“Like I said before, if he didn’t have someone like Alisson in front of him, you would imagine he could possibly be No. 1.”
It is certainly no easy feat to sit behind Alisson Becker in Jurgen Klopp’s side and the Irish international is hoping for more first-team football in years to come.
The 23-year-old has been very unlucky not to have played a minute of football this pre-season or the campaign proper, having been ruled out through injury and still out for the upcoming international break.
We may also be reaching a breaking point soon with the stopper, as he will have to choose between first-team football elsewhere and some potential cup success at Anfield.
However, come what may, his legacy has been greater than that of our former number 7, who hopes to help his team to victory against Manchester United in the next game of legends.
