I saw ‘outstanding’ 25-year-old Liverpool man prove he’s incredibly underrated against Chelsea today
There’s certainly no doubt that Jurgen Klopp will be delighted with a number of his Liverpool players against Chelsea today.
Klopp went into the game without an incredible number of players who were missing due to injury.
It’s hard to remember a better group of players outside of the squad than when the cameras panned to the likes of Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai and Darwin Nunez on the sidelines at Wembley.
That being said, Liverpool’s extended squad, including a ton of inexperienced youngsters, did themselves proud.
But perhaps one performance stood out in particular, that of Caoimhim Kelleher between the Liverpool sticks.
Both Chelsea and Liverpool had a ton of chances today, and whilst poor finishing was blamed for the game going to extra time, Kelleher might consider it a different story.
The 25-year-old Ireland international was in fantastic in several one versus one situations, proving his capability as a shot-stopper.
Kelleher has long been lauded for his ability with the ball at his feet, he almost looks like a midfielder on the ball at times.
But against Chelsea today, Klopp surely saw a Liverpool keeper with everything in his game.
Caiomhin Kelleher proved his rich Liverpool potential against Chelsea today
In terms of Kelleher being underrated, he now has to be at the top of that category in the Premier League.
The keeper is increasingly being recognised for his ability, but such a display proves that he could be a starter for a team with the highest of aspirations.
Unfortunately for Kelleher, he is behind the best goalkeeper in England, Alisson Becker.
But otherwise, at 25, there would surely be so many talking about Kelleher as the next big thing, who is still relatively young for a keeper.
Kelleher has been with Celtic in the past, but Liverpool will surely be so reluctant to lose such a reliable number two.
And with Alisson now out for a period, Kelleher does have a chance to continue the rich form he showed for Liverpool against Chelsea today.
All that being said, it seems as if one potential candidate to replace Jurgen Klopp next season has now ruled himself out of the running.
