he's always getting beaten at his near post, i'm pretty certain 2 of the 3 we conceded in the league game where due to kelleher being beaten at his near post. Its a constant theme with him.

Yes, fine. I'm just saying that that's not what happened there.

When you complain about keepers being beaten at their near post, it's because they've positioned themselves badly or got a weak hand to a shot which is on the post they should have been protecting.

That's not what happened here. His positioning was fine, Willian wasn't shooting from an exceptionally tight angle so he couldn't stand right on the post, there was a defender blocking his view, and the ball was hit hard and low. The only way you save them is if they hit you.

Its not hit particularly hard at all and he's got sight of the ball all the time, Kelleher is just weak

How does he possibly have sight of it here?

He's following the ball the entire time. And his positioning isn't that great. He's far too central considering where Willian has been coming from and taking into account vvd and konate. Theres only one place hes shooting and that is to kellehers left/his near post.
Anyway we'll have to agree to disagree.

He's in that position because Willian's previous step was from a more central position between VVD and Konate, and Kelleher had to protect that shot.

He continues to follow Willian across the goal, as he should, but VVD is by that point blocking his view.
 
When Gravenberch first came he looked like a breath of fresh air. His recent performances over a decent amount of time have showed why Bayern weren't that keen to use him and to ultimately get rid. Of course he nearly just scored there. :D

Maybe when he's played consistently and not in games like this he'd look better. Personally i think he's been fine
