Everton and Republic of Ireland captain Séamus Coleman believes that the Golden Generation of Irish goalkeepers have the right mentality to make a mark on the game in the long-term.

Coleman says he's pleased not only with the talent but the attitude that the trio of Caoimhín Kelleher (Liverpool), Gavin Bazunu (Manchester City) and Mark Travers (Bournemouth) offer.

"Listen, it's early days, like everything you don't want to put too much pressure on them at the minute," Coleman said at a pre-match press conference today.

"To be completely honest with you, they are two exceptional goalkeepers. What we see in training on a daily basis from both of them is to a very, very high standard.

"They are both very humble lads, which is important, and both very eager to have a career in the game. It's early days for them, but if they keep that mentality along with that quality, they can go a long way. We're very excited by how they train and how they play."
