Liverpool have had various outfield gamers compelled to go in aim throughout video games, and now Caoimhin Kelleher has forged his vote for which present participant he’d select to don the gloves.
Earlier than backup goalkeepers have been readily named as substitutes, you’d usually see outfield gamers thrust between the sticks because of harm or purple playing cards.
For Liverpool, we’ve got seen the likes of Steve Staunton, David Burrows and Jose Enrique having to alter kits and placed on the gloves to assist see the sport out.
We, sadly, or fortuitously, don’t get to see it too usually nowadays within the topflight because of squad depth and the variety of choices you possibly can have off the bench.
That doesn’t cease followers or gamers alike from contemplating who they might throw into the function if it got here to it.
Kelleher has now forged his vote for who he thinks can be finest, although he might have an ulterior motive, saying in a membership Q&A: “Perhaps Diogo Jota.
“He at all times offers out [banter] concerning the goalkeepers when targets go in and stuff, so I’d similar to to place him in internet so he can learn the way laborious it’s!
“I’d give buying and selling locations with him a go too as a result of I performed as a striker till I used to be about 13, however it is likely to be an excessive amount of working for me nowadays, to be trustworthy!”
We wouldn’t thoughts seeing that, though possibly not in a high-stakes recreation! At 5’8″, Jota is on the smaller dimension for a goalkeeper so that you sense he would rapidly admire how robust the job is.
Liverpool do have historical past with their left-backs taking over the emergency function, although, so Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas ought to maybe be within the dialog.
