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.

Samuel (not Glen) Johnson, as reported by James (not Joey) Boswell. They must have foreseen RAWK ;D

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.

He was training by his self in the park, rarely gets a game.

I could not ask more of the lad.

Keep living the dream lad  :champ

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.
