Katie Keane

It wouldn't be us if we didn't have some level of injury crisis.

Yeah, and like you say, I think it sounds like Katie Keane will be back next week as well.

It sounds like she only just missed out on the goalkeeping position.

I

four or five goals which I can't even I didn't watch that game because I didn't feel like it would serve me to do so I don't know if any of the goals were particularly her fault but not a nice memory to have really is it and then yeah it just looked to me like she was low on confidence and yeah just a couple of sort of quite dodgy decisions and in terms of actual shot stopping which i've always thought she's pretty decent at and i just feel like for me i feel like katie keen has done more than enough to claim that shirt and i believe

katie keen was the you know it seems like she was the the choice at number one yeah well i mean they were both fit last weekend absolutely and keen got the nod

and i just feel like she commands the area a bit better i feel a bit more calm and i think that radiates out to the defense as well and I think even though Katie Keane herself is young, she's 20, I think if you've got kind of a young centre-back partnership, I mean, Leah Reddy's not really that old.

Is she like 24?

So yeah, it looks to be-

I think as, I think as well, if there's just a point about like having someone like Katie Keane who's clearly very confident as a goalkeeper as well, you know, coming for the ball whenever she feels like it.

Decent in possession as well, 'cause if they are gonna play out from the back you need a keeper who's comfortable in that sense, and clearly vocal is a leader as well, which is what Leicester are gonna need more.

Yeah.

I was gonna ask you what, what you made of Katie Keane actually because-

Mm

... we, we've been sort of talking about her and I was talking to Zoe McGrady as well about how impressed I've been with Katie Keane.

It almost seems like she, it seems she's picked Liv Clarke for the starting spot.

without that, it could have been 2 or 3.

You can look at the Sheffield United, you know, obviously the hit post that then rolls along the line to Katie Keane.

But obviously we also hit the post and that was directly off the back of a good save from Pellgander, actually.

Yeah, Alicia

rather than

anything else yeah I think up until the sending off I was kind of thinking to myself like and I would never say this out loud but I was kind of thinking to myself like I do not think they look like Sheffield United look like scoring at all no like there was a lot of quite hopeful balls going forward that never really came off a lot of balls went out of play you know whenever they were trying to get get a move go in I mean,

really, Katie Keane, she, well, you know, we'll get on to her, I'm sure, but she had a very, I'd say a very solid game, but it was the nuts and bolts of goalkeeping.

It was claiming your crosses.

But after that, I think she will hit the ground running for Ipswich.

Katie Keane, Leicester City, 20-year-old Republic of Ireland goalkeeper.

it's going to be an interesting one I think because you need a light six left Leicester City you've obviously got Olivia Clarke who is senior to Katie Keane but Katie Keane did so well in that final stage of the season I know they shipped a lot of goals but it wasn't down to her and she had one of the she

stepped in in that Arsenal game do you remember

yeah and made loads of saves but then also in the playoff she made some big saves and big penalty stops and it was only outdone by her fellow goalkeeper Sophie Whitehouse so I think she could be one to watch Jessie Gill, who is on loan from Arsenal to Newcastle United, hit the ground running in the WSL2 last year.

Okay, once again, give me your WSL top

five list them.

Lotta Lindstrom for Bristol City, Princess Adam and Louie for Ipswich Town, Katie Keane for Leicester City, Jessie Gale at Newcastle, unknown from Arsenal, and Emma Harries at Southampton.
