If the goalkeeper's injury woes are behind him, he believes the 33-year-old should comfortably retain his position as first choice and should be rewarded with a new contract.However, with Mamardashvili looming and other potential options available, persistent injuries could force new head coach Andoni Iraola and the club's hierarchy into a decision. "I think he (Iraola) starts with him, and I think he sees how his fitness is and form up until January," Friedel explained to Betting Sites, where you can review the best sportsbooks."If he looks good, I think they'll offer him another contract.

If it's hit or miss, or he's getting injured, then I think they'll still have him play until the end of his contract, and then I think they'll be on the lookout for another (goalkeeper), which I'm sure they're already on the lookout for.Giorgi Mamardashvili is battling to become Liverpool's No.1 goalkeeper(Image: Photo by Bill Barrett/ISI Photos/ISI Photos via Getty Images)"These clubs will know everyone that's available, and they'll be doing their monitoring. I think they'll be hopeful that he stays fit, and if he stays fit, you've got an outstanding goalkeeper on your hands."How old is he?

He's still got years ahead of him. He has picked up a couple of injuries, but at 34, that is not an alarming age for a goalkeeper, so I would think that they'll see if he fits in with Iraola and all his plans.
