“Day to Forget”: Kelleher Blasted as Fulham Defeat Sparks Summer Exit Talk!
Liverpool’s 3-2 collapse to Fulham might not only dent their title hopes — it may have sealed Caoimhin Kelleher’s Anfield exit.
After Arsenal’s stumble at Goodison Park, the Reds had a golden opportunity to tighten their grip on the title race. Instead, Marco Silva’s Fulham dismantled Arne Slot’s side with ruthless efficiency. But while the spotlight initially shone on missteps from Salah and Van Dijk, all eyes quickly turned to Kelleher — and not for the right reasons.
The Irishman, starting in Alisson’s absence, endured arguably his worst outing of the season. Wrong-footed for Iwobi’s strike, nutmegged by Muniz for the winner, and looking nervy throughout, Kelleher ended the match with just three saves, poor distribution stats, and a glaring -1.22 goals prevented mark — the kind of number that sets alarm bells ringing.
And with Valencia’s Giorgi Mamardashvili putting in a heroic shift against Real Madrid just days earlier, the writing’s on the wall. The Georgian’s resurgence — amid transfer rumours linking him to Merseyside — casts an even darker shadow over Kelleher’s future.
Fans didn’t hold back either.
> “Kelleher never saves the easiest shots,”
“Glad he’s leaving this summer,”
“Need Alisson back before his stock drops even more.”
Those were just a few of the harsh but growing voices on X.
Once hailed as one of Europe’s best backup keepers, Kelleher now looks destined to depart, with Bournemouth and Leeds reportedly circling. At 26, and with glimpses of potential over the years, a move could reignite his trajectory — but Sunday’s disaster will linger.
For Liverpool, the concern goes beyond one player. It was a team-wide failure. But if this was Kelleher’s audition for a bigger role, the verdict is clear: time to move on.
