I thought Kelleher was man of the match.

 

I’d still have played Alisson, as he’s a better player.

I’d have played Adrian. To give them a fair shot.

It cannot be unsaid.

Needs to work on saving penalties.  Decent at taking them, though.

Didn’t work out too well for them last time they faced Adrian in a penalty shoot out tbf.

He's a good keeper isn't he and nothing fazes the lad - very good temperament.

 

 

[Aventus]

Mad that we've gone from zero match winning goalscoring keepers at the club, to two in the space of a few months. 

[A_S]

Fair to say his stock went up a lot in this game. 

[Joso]

I think for next season he will rightly feel he is too good to be number 2. I think we should look to find him a nice loan, similar to how Chelsea handled Courtois by loaning him to a top team for two years before getting him back. Courtois grew a lot at Atleti and Kelleher has a huge ceiling. 

[sir roger]

A broth of a boy, so he is.

[DalyanPete]

We finally get a really good backup and people want to loan him out or not play him.

If he's happy with his situation leave as it is.

Fully deserved to play last night and again didn't let anyone down.

[stringvest]

He did save at least three penalties in earlier rounds, so to suggest he needs to learn how to do it is a bit wide of the mark.  

[JustTosh]

Penalty shoot outs are nerve challenging. I do belive the keeper shoud ocasionally not dive, but stay on his line. That puts more pressure on the next man, who knows he'll need to put his pen out of the keeper's reach. So maybe there's room for Kelleher to improve.

 

That being said, Kepa was doing the same, and that's the man Chelsea wanted between the sticks.

He didn't get anywhere near Kepa's pen.

We shouldn't even be thinking of not having him in the squad next season. Every top team should have two class keepers so the whole season is not at risk of being fucked up by one serious injury. Give him the domestic cup games and the CL group games.

This is true. Ali has missed a few crucial games - the least said the better about Adrián in the FA Cup and European Cup a couple of years ago.

 

With Queef, we can afford to lose the best keeper in the world for a few games and I don't shit my kecks.

Absolutely. He's been very good saving penalties throughout his time at the club, it's weird how some seem to think it's a weakness.

He's got that classic Irish hair. It'll be a comb-over by the time he's thirty!

[TheHowieLama]

He has played the other FA cup games so we should see him again in a couple of days.

Yes I agree, but second keepers tend to be older for a reason. Right now Kelleher, who is only 23, has to feel he is talented enough to start somewhere and grow as a footballer, I'm just saying, Id rather loan him than outright lose him. 

[Bob]

Very happy for the lad and he’s come on well from those first few games where he seemed to concede every shot at goal. Would’ve wanted him to save a pen to win it but scoring a pen to win it will have to do.

 

not at all wanting to be critical of him but just to recognise there’s growth needed from here: those 3 goals they had disallowed, the first he got a big paw on, but didn’t keep out. That one would probably have been a great save if made, but by it going in it looked a bit ropey.

 

The other two though, top keepers save them both, and he got nowhere near.

 

room to grow.

He knew the players were offside and let the goals in for the banter 

[Salou]

20 million + in the bank this summer when a mid table club decides to upgrade their first choice. 

[El Rojo]

On the penalty thing, he got much nearer to a few of theirs than Kepa did with ours yesterday. Fine margins. 
 

Agree that we certainly have to keep him, whether that involves a loan or an agreement that he plays a certain number of games. 
 

Very few snide comments about Achterberg on here these days too. It’s almost like the problem in the past was us not having very good players in the position.
