It’s clear that players are going to have to be managed through the season in a far more cautious way than usual, so if he’s fine for the weekend and beyond, I’m not concerned about this. 


If past experiences are anything to go by he probably won’t be fit for the weekend

Good luck picking the worst out of that bucket of shite.

The good shot stopper who barely made a save and  when he was finally moved on had to fuck off to a shite Belgian team.   Hes also the reason Jones and Bogdan played league games for us.

 

Nope, he was dreadful in every sense.

I disagree, he was ok at times. Otherwise Kelleher or Milner.

edit- I changed the post

I mean what the fuck with these muscle injuries ? ...
I can kind of take Thiago being out after what we saw but the likes of Shaq, Matip , Allison, Keita (I’ve probably missed a few out as well) it’s just beyond the joke and a by joke I mean a Russel Howard type joke

Bizzie summed it up right first time. He was good for Sunderland, a lower Premiership side, hence why we signed him.
 

He wasn’t good enough for us. 
 

Bogdan and Jones were horrific though.

So that’s a goalie, a centre half and a right back we need to sign in January,  I haven’t missed any positions out have I ?

Trust us to have the Daniel Sturbridge of goalkeepers ....

 

Ray Clemence once played 336 consecutive games for us between 1972 to 1978, I know it’s not relevant and it doesn’t make me feel better but just saying .

Ali is a sweeper keeper so is more likely than a lot of keepers to pick up injuries.

 

Anyhow, rather him resting and missing tonight and Wolves than playing and being out for 2 months.

 

How good will we all feel if Kelleher plays well in the next two games and can become a bona fida homegrown number 2.

I hope so, although I’m shocked to find out he’s 6 ft 2, because he managed to make himself look about 6 inches shorter in some of those League Cup games last season. Still, good luck to him.

When is a keeper ever out for a muscle issue? He gets such dumb injuries.

His training regime consists of MMA fighting, tables ladders and chairs matches with the Hardy Boys and racing in Demolition Derbies. At least he didnt play in the last Demolition Derby at Woodison as one of their players would have snapped him in two.

Jurgen seems to rate him. He has he look of a lad who needs a stint in the lower leagues getting bashed around by yard dogs.

Actually I'd forgotten Bogdan. Probably go Bogdan>Adrian>Karius>Jones>Mignolet. Jones was actually a solid Premier League keeper. Bit (very) old by the time he came to us.

He hasn't looked fully fit all season after his initial injury. Think we rushed him back a bit back then tbh, the recovery was said to take 4-6 weeks and he was back within a fortnight, wasn't he?

 

Agree that he looks a bit heavier, that often happens with long injury layoffs (and Covid-related layoffs it seems). Strength training/conditioning can just go so far in terms of getting you fully match fit, even for keepers. 

 

After watching Kelleher tonight I'm a bit calmer about our upcoming time without Allison, even if we'll miss his sweeper-keeper skills. Hopefully he's allowed to get fully fit this time around.
