Your AI work is top notch, Beez. Thanks for the breakdown of Marmadashvili. I'm not concerned by his footwork stat. As you write he may be following managerial instructions, and also may his back four be so too, any mistakes or near misses can be a player combination rather than an individual howler.
The question I raise is Alisson has backed this signing knowing his own time as an elite goalkeeper will soon be over but Kelleher must be wondering what he is to do. I was fully backing Caoimhin to stay and be our number one, without willing to get Ali out he door too early. Does Kelleher move this window or next one or two knowing another good to go keeper is joining? Jaros is in the wings as a future keeper. Liverpool seem well stocked but something, or someone, has to give.
I wonder why Kelleher hasn't moved already, is he patient or stubborn? I feel Liverpool have identified Marmadashvili as a better keeper for Slot's needs.
I've seen a theory that Mamardashvili will go out on loan in the PL next season to get acclimatised to English football. That makes sense for him and Liverpool, but what of Kelleher, as you say? Another two seasons as back up feels like a waste with his talent level.
He's a knock back to the 90s. A superb shot stopper who dominates his box. BUT, with the ball at his feet, he isn't good enough. Very surprised we signed him.
I go back to that Graham quote… but in many of his appearances people have been misquoting it to go after Darwin Nunez *cough Walk On*
But then there is also the models of does a players add or save goals for the team… where manadasvilli obviously would excel.
My only thought is they must have seen enough on the videos etc to believe Mamadashvilli could improve his play with his feet and sweeping to a level required.
In the clips of his mistakes I’ve seen it doesn’t look like there is a good structure around him to pass to.
And I do also wonder if there is a bit of the Joel matip there… if because he looks a bit clumsy in possession people are judging on the aesthetics 🤷♂️

Leave on a free? Won’t Kelleher have one year left next year?
Good point. He'll have to go next summer if not this.

This is the big question!
