Kelleher has been great but IMO if we had Ali we'd still be in the FA Cup and right in with a shout of making a European semi final.
How successful were we last year, with him as POTY? We were out of everything going 12 months ago.
Kelleher has had more games this season. He hasn't been merely great, he's been outstanding considering that even now nobody really wants him out there. He's massively contributed to another League Cup, sustained a title challenge, and the quarters of the other cups. He's not responsible for our FA Cup fate. We're still unbeaten in the league with him in goal this season, collecting 26 points from 30, at an average of 2.6 per game.
If Alisson had half as good a record, we would now be picking and choosing what opponent we would like to win the league against, rather than just hoping to stay in the race, as we are. I haven't missed him at all, and I'm not looking forward to his next expensive distribution howler, which we know is only a matter of time. It happened the last time, and happens far too often for my liking.
