Topic: Welcome Adrian

[Crimson_Tank]

What a Lad!

[Son of Spion]

From nowhere to being in goal for the reigning European Champions. Cheated out of a 2-1 win by a dive and horrendous ref/VAR error, then wins it by saving the final penalty. 

He dines out on this story forever now.

[soxfan]

Really happy for him. What a boost of confidence! He's living the dream right now!

[Zoomers]

[Red-Soldier]

This is a great story.

Well done Adrian!

[GBF]

Played 2 games, win 1 trophy. Best ratio in the world. Alisson, you have a competition

[Darren G]

Made up for the lad.  Love his enthusiasm and seems to have fit it really quickly with the other lads in the squad, which is great from a football perspective.  The Chelsea penalty was ridiculous and the fact that BT Sport had a camera in a better position to judge it than VAR is laughable.  Anyhow, a real fairy tale start for Adrian.  Hope he does well until Alisson gets back. 

[Lofty Ambitions]

So is Adrian allowed to touch the Anfield plaque now?

I'd assume yes. So that was quickly sorted out, then!

I got the feeling they were reluctant to shine a light on a ref fuck up carried out by the first female ref in a mens game.

[Nice one, Barney lad!]

The plot thickens!
Apparently Adrian's towel celebrates a religious brotherhood in Sevill. This is going Da Vinci Code.

Adrian.
If you mix up the letters, add just a few more, you get - 42.
How could we've all been so blind!

Which is a really bloody shame if true and undermines the whole point of it in the first place.

A person reffed the game last night, and people potentially made a mistake with the penalty incident.

And it should be highlighted if mistakes were made.

[LallanaInPyjamas]

Needs to change his middle name to Like Rocky.

[redgriffin73]

Really chuffed for him, especially after the penalty incident in the game.

On a real note, was it not https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_of_Montserrat

Also, mega lols at the meltdown from our rivals because he was about an inch or two off his line, so was Kepa for some of his but nothing mentioned on that...

[conman]

Nice one fella.

First start and he gets to touch the “This is Anfield” sign already!

Not point pissin about

[keyop]

Great performance and so glad he saved the pen after the earlier one was harshly given.

Not much he could do about the goals really, and I think he was harshly judged by some on here for the Norwich goal. I think he'll be fine, and each game will only help his understanding of our back four and our system. Seems a good guy with lots of spirit too.

Another trophy for the champions wall. Onwards.

[Ciara (with a capital "C")]

Hahaha! Love how they gave him the Cup to take to bed!

[Samie]

Yo, Adrian we you did it. 

[idontknow]

I've a mate supports West Ham, really likes Adrian, pleased he won a trophy.

He told me Adrian seems to like penalties. He said, a few years ago in the FA Cup Adrian scored a sudden death penalty winner.  He took off his gloves before his penalty to gesture to the West Ham fans., "I'm not going back into that goal after this kick". It was against Everton.

Well doubly done, Adrian.

That seems to be the consensus with West Ham fans and Adrian, they love the guy! Even though they obviously aren't going to like Liverpool, many are genuinly pleased that he got to be the hero last night and has won a trophy.

From the refs angle it looked like a legitimate penalty. As it did from the VAR review - there was no clear indication that Adrian did not take him down. Which meant they could not overturn it.

I have not seen the other TV pictures but apparently Adrian himself said he did touch Abraham - who was looking for it. Soft penalty. If there exists better angles that were not shown on VAR than it is indeed a joke.

[eAyeAddio]

Adrian has been at Liverpool for less than a week & has won more European trophies than Man City have ever, in their entire history.

[sms1986]

They have won one, although it was the Cup Winners Cup in 69-70 so quite a long time ago now.

[Ghost Town]

Was a bit rocky for a while there but in the end we're all shouting "Adrian!"

[Ghost Town]

Seems to be, it was Lonergan's first as well.

Liverpool confer benison on all

Many West Ham fans speak highly of Adrián and quite a few wish he was still at the club. They still say he was better than what he was given credit for but the main thing they speak about is him as a person and how he connected with fans and players off the pitch. They still love him.

It’s great to have a character like that in the squad. You can already see the comradrery he’s built with the players.

[ConqueredAllOfEurope]

1st start resulted in 1st trophy. Not too bad I guess...

[markedasred]

Imagine coming on to a heroes welcome on Friday, then winning a big cup the next week. He must be thinking, "s'alright here, I could get used to this".

[Ghost Town]

Does Alisson get a Super Cup medal? Genuine question

If not it might make him hungry for more later on in the season

[I've been a good boy]

If you went up to him a few weeks ago and told him this time nent month you're going to be a European Super Cup winner, he'd drop you like Rocky Balboa dropped Drago.

I'd hope all the injured players get a medal, would be unfair to Alisson given that he's a big part of why we're playing that match.

[Number 7]

Spanish press all over Adrian:

He should definitely get one of the 40 medals.

[newterp]

It sure seems like the media of other countries and the supporters of teams not named Everton/Man city/Chelsea/man united/spurs think this was a good trophy to win

Everyone of those clubs celebrated a charity shield win, one even tries to claim a quadruple with it in the 4, bitter jealous twats .

Injuried by a fan on the pitch? This is up there with the beach ball. Absolutely ridiculous.
