00:00Liverpool face a key decision on Kermien Keleher's future, with the goalkeeper attracting interest
00:08ahead of the summer transfer window. While the club values him highly, his desire for
00:13regular first-team football could force their hand. Meanwhile, Arnie Schlott is preparing
00:18for a challenging restart at Anfield, where Liverpool knocked out of all but one title
00:23race this season. With the Premier League looking likely, but their only remaining shot
00:28at silverware, the pressure will be on to ensure they stay competitive under new leadership.
00:34To get an insight on Liverpool's stance on Keleher and Schlott's upcoming challenges,
00:39I spoke to Will Rooney of Liverpool World.
00:58It's possible he might have played his last game for Liverpool. In all honesty,
01:27in the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle, there was even a little bit of debate around
01:32would he start, wouldn't he start. I think he was always going to start for me. He deserved it.
01:39He's won the competition twice for Liverpool already. You don't need him playing the first
01:43leg of the semi-final because Alisson needs a little bit of rhythm, Schlott said. But look,
01:50these conversations are starting to happen now because Liverpool are so far ahead in the league
01:55and because they are having some issues in the squad now. Now comes the end of the season and
02:01regardless if Liverpool weren't stuttering, I think we'd be having this conversation anyway
02:06because Keleher, as you say, his future is up in the air. He's got one year left on his deal.
02:12Liverpool have got Giorgio Mamadashvili arriving in the summer. Where does that leave him? It'd
02:20be unfair on all that to keep him for a year and potentially be number three. Liverpool
02:26Keleher is a real top-class Premier League goalkeeper and they'll allow him to leave.
02:30It just depends what sort of fee can he get. If he'll get £20 million for him, I think that'd be
02:36a fantastic return with a year left on his deal. If we rewind back a bit further than that,
02:41they obviously crashed out of the FA Cup, then they out of Europe as well to a fantastic PSG
02:49side. Obviously Arne Schlott saying it's probably the best game of football he's been involved in
02:53over those two legs was great for the neutral as well, but then they crash out of Europe
02:58and then obviously losing the Carabao Cup final as well. They are lucky in this position that the
03:04league form is so good and has been so fantastic. Barring that though, they have crashed out of all
03:10three of the competitions. What's the sort of take? We've spoken before and you've been very
03:16sure that Liverpool fans would have certainly taken the league over anything else this season,
03:22but it must be a big learning curve for Arne Schlott and his players.
03:26Yes, I think so. I think there's a few people getting a bit annoyed because people are saying
03:33they're only going to win the Premier League title. Well, the Premier League title wasn't
03:38even in the equation for Liverpool to start the season because no-one expected them to be
03:42challenging. Jürgen Klopp leaving, Arne Schlott coming in, everyone thought it was going to be
03:46a season of transition. Finishing the top three, top four, qualify for the Champions League again,
03:54maybe have a good run in the Champions League, maybe win a domestic trophy,
03:58but instead they've gone to win the league. As I say, that week, it was,
04:04I don't want to say damaging because that has profound connotations because it's not damaging.
04:13They've been two tough blows though to take. PSG want, they deserve to go out on the balance of
04:19the two legs. They played well in the second leg, just ran out of steam, lost on penalties.
04:27For me, the Carabao Cup final loss was tougher to take. Does it come down to, does he trust
04:33enough of the players, the squad that he's inherited? When he gets some of his own players in,
04:39will he look to rotate a little bit more?
