While that is the case, Liverpool may well be missing the calm and measured presence of Kelleher as their back-up, which has only been further proven by former Premier League goalkeeper Ben Foster.When speaking to TalkSPORT, Foster named Kelleher in his top five goalkeepers in the Premier League, alongside Alisson, Aston Villa's Emi Martinez, Arsenal's David Raya and Manchester City's Gianluigi Donnarumma. The ex-shot-stopper was full of praise when pressed on picking Kelleher in his top five.He said: "He's [Caoimhin Kelleher] been phenomenal this season.

I think what he's been exposed to at Liverpool, because he played quite a few games at Liverpool. Any moment, you know that he's in full control of everything he's doing."I think Caoimhin's had this chance to be able to really watch him and learn from the best in that position.

I didn't make it at Man United at the time, one, because I had Van der Sar in front of me where you just think, 'My gosh, you're so good, honestly, you're so, so good.'"He's in control of everything, he's so calm, but when I did leave Man United, I was so well-equipped to deal with the rest of my career, it set me up for the rest of my career, and I think that's the same thing that's happened with Caoimhin."It's that type of calm manner that Liverpool have been missing at times this season, with games getting particularly stretched with opportunities at either end. It's a trait that Liverpool had at their disposal for some time, as the 26-year-old helped them win plenty of trophies in his time at the club.Now he is doing so for Brentford and the Republic of Ireland, the latter of which he helped secure a World Cup 2026 play-off spot with over the November international break.
