However regardless of shining throughout Alisson‘s absence final season, no actual supply arrived in the summertime for his companies, with solely Nottingham Forest providing simply £7 million plus Matt Turner.
It was a pitiful supply then, and extra so now after his first minutes of the season in opposition to Bournemouth.
Kelleher made seven saves in opposition to the Cherries, with two instinctive ones late on defending his clear sheet and displaying his worth – which was not misplaced on Liverpool followers.
Kelleher as a 2nd selection GK is a cheat code.

Kelleher displaying at present why Liverpool did not need to lose him this summer time. The perfect deputy goalkeeper round. Amazed that no PL membership was ready to pay £25m for him.
