Doing really well

Red-Soldier · « **Reply #601 on:** September 22, 2019, 06:44:21 pm »

Great little story to the season so far this.

He made a couple of great saves today to go along with the one he made midweek.

Fantastic save on Alonso's effort (that was called offside). Playing to his strenghts atm.

You can see why West Ham fans were gutted to lose him. You do have to wonder how he has not been picked up by a top team earlier, right now he is playing as well as any keeper in the league, including the one down the road on £375k per week.

Signing of the summer. With a bit of hindsight.

He's so much more suited to our system than Migs was, and obviously has a lot of mental strength to boot - the way he's come back from that Southampton debacle is very impressive.

It would be hilarious if DeGea lose his place for Spain to Adrian. And their head coach should really consider it. He's more suited to how they play.

A couple of gaffs in his first couple of games but has looked very solid since.

I’ve stopped checking the injury thread everyday for updates on Allison now anyway

A massive upgrade on Mignolet and Karius.

If we didn't have Alisson, we'd probably be more than happy with Adrian as first choice.

SinceSixtyFive · « **Reply #609 on:** September 22, 2019, 07:25:47 pm »

Liked him a lot from the start and said so.

Even with the mistakes early on you could see he had bags of character and suited or style of play really well.

We couldn't honestly hope for better in the absence of our No. 1 just brilliant!

planet-terror · « **Reply #610 on:** September 22, 2019, 07:29:47 pm »

Allison will have his work cut out to get back in at this rate [emoji23]

Mutton Geoff · « **Reply #611 on:** September 22, 2019, 07:34:11 pm »

Signing of the season for me.

Cormack Snr · « **Reply #612 on:** September 22, 2019, 07:38:47 pm »

I wouldn't drop him at the moment even when Alison is fit, doing nothing wrong and actually better than Alison with his feet. His confidence is growing and made match winning saves . Good lad..

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #613 on:** September 22, 2019, 07:40:00 pm »

Brilliant claim on that cross when he kneed one of theirs in the back, text book keeping.

Clayton Bigsby · « **Reply #614 on:** September 22, 2019, 07:43:50 pm »

Not even checking the alison injury updates, thats how good an understudy he has been.

but I actually subbed out alison for patricio and then subbed out patricio for adrien in my fantasy team

Haha!

Adrian has done well, credit to him but Becker is a world class keeper and substantially better than Adrian

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #616 on:** September 22, 2019, 07:47:09 pm »

Brilliant saves from offside efforts today! And the one on one too, been brilliant for us.

Samio · « **Reply #617 on:** September 22, 2019, 07:49:15 pm »

Love how he’s fit in so quickly. Seems really close to the lads, brilliant.

Funny. Yes he's made some great saves but still isn't coming off his line confidently and his distribution is significantly worse than Ali. No doubt that he drops to the bench with a big pat on the back.

He’s doing well but I think it’s the optician for you next week.

He's improving game by game
Impressive goalkeeping today

Passmaster Molby · « **Reply #621 on:** September 22, 2019, 07:58:11 pm »

He looked like Lev Yashin today in his all black strip, and he played a bit like him too with that world class save from Abraham. Bloody good bit of business getting him.

Red Eyed · « **Reply #622 on:** September 22, 2019, 07:59:58 pm »

Give everybody in charge of recruitment at this club a raise

Chakan · « **Reply #623 on:** September 22, 2019, 08:01:32 pm »

He’s been excellent stepping in when I’m sure at the start of the season he was thinking of playing maybe a handful of games

Peabee · « **Reply #624 on:** September 22, 2019, 08:02:05 pm »

Honestly don’t think we could’ve done better for a no.2. (The way he left Abraham on the floor early on was smart btw.) Imagine playing no football for half a year, signing on a free then after a week standing in for a CL and Copa winner who also has the golden glove in the PL, CL, and Copa with the Super Cup and a penalty shootout your second game. Lesser men would crumble.

Wabaloolah · « **Reply #626 on:** September 22, 2019, 08:03:02 pm »

He's been excellent, a big upgrade on Mignolet and I didn't think Migs was as bad as people made out

Keith Lard · « **Reply #627 on:** September 22, 2019, 08:03:24 pm »

Second best keeper in the league! Don’t see why he can’t force his way into the Spain squad, other than he will struggle to get a game when Ali is back.

If he carries on like this... and Alisson is 100% fit, Adrian isn't getting dropped. If he has more games in a row where he's bailed us out consintently, then it'll be hard to drop him... but whatever happens, he has certainly contributed. Would like to see him dribble up the pitch a bit more tho... take on a few perhaps, then be in there for a cross on occassion but these things take time.

He’s surprised me how quickly he’s fitted in to our style of play and how many good saves he makes when required. He’s a really good keeper in his own right and would be first choice for a lot of teams.
BUT once Alisson is ready he ain’t going to spend time sitting on the bench and I’m sure Adrian realises this.

As soon as Allison is fit Adrian is getting dropped. There’s no question about it
