The former goalkeeper was effusive in his praise for Kelleher.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.

Don't forget, Alisson had quite a few spells where he's been out injured. I think the way he handled himself at Liverpool, for one, was phenomenal, absolutely brilliant performances, really calm and measured."But I think that comes off the back of one, obviously his character, I think that's just how he is as a person anyway, but secondly, just being surrounded by Alisson as the number one goalkeeper, getting to watch that week in, week out.

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 precisely that composed approach that Liverpool have been lacking at various points this campaign, with matches becoming particularly open-ended and creating chances at both ends.Whilst the issues may extend beyond simply having that reassuring and confident figure between the sticks, it's an element that could prove beneficial once Alisson returns to peak condition.Kelleher has featured 11 times for Brentford following his summer switch to the club, with every outing coming in the Premier League.The Republic of Ireland shot-stopper has registered two shutouts, shipping 17 goals during that period, as the Bees have begun to discover their rhythm in recent matches.Foster isn't alone among former keepers in heaping praise on Kelleher's approach to his craft.Shay Given also weighed in during discussions with The Times, commenting: "The good thing about Caoimhin is that he never gets too hard on himself when he does make a mistake or carried away when he saves a penalty, like he did against Ronaldo in the last game."He is still so calm and level-headed," he continued.It's a quality that Liverpool benefited from for a considerable period, as the 26-year-old contributed to numerous trophy successes during his stint at the club.
