you mean 'mess' like season 19/20 when Alisson got injured and Adrian played 11 Premiership Matches and ended the season with a Premiership winners medal?
He's a terrific, humble lad and clearly a good personality fit for the squad, and he did amazingly well when initially called upon.

His errors also knocked us out of the FA Cup and CL within a week, and as many posters have said is not the person you want to depend on more than the odd game or half a game even. The abuse he received on here at that time -from people who rarely single out individuals- was considerable.

Personally, I wouldn't want him anywhere near the backup role, so if as is being reported that he'll be 3rd choice there shouldn't be too much to worry about hopefully.

Yeh that describes me, the only player I've dug into. I hold may hands up to that; I was particularly pissed off at the time, but it's not an valid excuse. I wouldn't do it now.

You weren't alone mate, I did it too.

Still think about what might have been if he'd just cleared that back pass to the CL stands.

Like you though, I wouldn't lay into him now the way I did at the final whistle back then. I'm sure quite a lot of us would do the same too.

He reminds me of Moreno, a genuinely likable lad, just limited in his capacity.

So, it turns out that Adrian is actually really wholesome. He's just set up a charity that helps disadvanted kids and immigrants. Turns out, he's also doing his coaching badges with us.

He's clearly doing a great job to earn another contract, and just seems a lovely guy. Well done Adrian. He's a quality 3rd choice keeper.

Looks like we have offered Adrian a contract extension.  Hopefully he signs, as he is a very reliable number 3, and a great member of the squad.

Adrian going to Betis. Wont say anything bad about him; 3rd keeper and won us a trophy in one of my personal favourite nights under Klopp. Those who get so excised we have an experienced third keeper can have a little wank though.
I don't agree, he'd go to Legoland. Bye.

My favourite memory of Adrian might ironically be from his West Ham days. Took the winning the penalty in a shootout against Everton, after throwing his gloves to the ground pre-run up. That's confidence. Won us a Cup and played a good number of games in our title winning season. Good luck to him.

Can't ask for much more from a 3rd choice keeper really. Best of luck to him for what's left of his career.

I always loved how Adrian seemed to celebrate our goals from the bench so passionately. Really seemed to love being at the club and by all accounts was a very popular squad member and great professional. Wish him the best.

All the best. The Super Cup win was great and I think even if Alisson was out the whole 2019/20 season we'd have won the league with him in goal, more an observation on how good we were because he obviously wasn't on Alisson's level. He done well though.

The goodbye message is one of the best I've seen. He was obviously a great presence at both the training ground and the stadium and came between the posts at crucial times to advance our cause. A good Red.

Only seen that goodbye video now, it’s amazing  :)

Good for Adrian, he did what he was here to do, and he did it with pride, and the club clearly means a great deal to him and his family.  It may have been a small playing part, but he was still an important part of one of the most successful spells in recent memory, as a hugely popular team player.
