Incredible.

Adrian has already seen more action than some backup keepers see in a career.

This is unbelievable.

People have invaded the pitch 4 times in our last 4 matches. Three idiot pranksters and one over-zealous (and ridiculously stupid) fan. People need to get a fucking grip.

Specifically stewards and security. Save our players from having to act out of self defense (whether they were at risk or not)

jambutty · « **Reply #328 on:** August 16, 2019, 03:55:01 pm »

Security around the players at match end is the answer.

Unfortunately, it's usually the case that someone has to get injured before anything's done about the issue. The media were all about how funny that girl that ran onto the pitch in the CL final was, but she could've slipped and tripped a player as much as this guy (though nobody saw him coming would be the main difference). Hopefully he gets a massive fine in order to stop people from trying it in the future.

alonsoisared · « **Reply #330 on:** August 16, 2019, 04:11:05 pm »

Trouble is there's only so much a handful of stewards can do when faced with 10000 football fans. The responsibility is on people not to act like dickheads because you just know the answer from the powers that be would be something extreme akin to fencing. All fun and games at the time but the repercussions for all of us can be severe.

All for giving stewards extra training but even with that it's easy to get on the pitch when youve got thousands of other people around you who theyve also got to be watching.

lamonti · « **Reply #331 on:** August 16, 2019, 07:13:04 pm »

Well the main problem seems to be fucking arseholes with YouTube channels or porn careers to launch rather than fans.

Wouldn't take the risk. Don't want him being injured for a long period.

We can't afford too with Allison being out.

I agree, although at least it shows that the injury likely isn't that bad. I bet he'll be fine for Arsenal.

I honestly thought I was in the bad jokes thread when I read this.

You couldn't make this shit up.

To quote the old Spion Kop song to anyone thinking of doing similar in future...

"Get off the fucking pitch, get off the fucking pitch, get off the fucking pitch..."

Players will mostly always say that they're fitter than they really are when injured as they want to play. He will be buzzing after the Super Cup but we have to be sensible and really should be taking the decision out of his hands.

Let him rest up at home and get ready for the Arsenal match.

Bobinhood · « **Reply #336 on:** August 17, 2019, 11:49:24 am »

fuck that, 3 aspirins and a shot of whisky and wheel him out there.

redtel · « **Reply #337 on:** August 17, 2019, 12:18:01 pm »

If he is fit to play the new goal kick rule will help him.

He can play a short pass to a defender inside the area who can carry it on from there.

No need for long kicks or even 12 yard ones.

No worries

thekitkatshuffler · « **Reply #339 on:** August 17, 2019, 04:45:47 pm »

You get what you don't pay for.

Last time we bought someone of this quality it was to be our #1, so I suppose this is an improvement in our goalkeeping recruitment policy.

Dim Glas · « **Reply #340 on:** August 17, 2019, 04:53:09 pm »

Beers on Adrian tonight

From hero to almost zero, lucky.

Other than the absolute howler had a good game.

Wool · « **Reply #343 on:** August 17, 2019, 04:53:52 pm »

Did well besides the obvious mistake. Not sure why we kept playing it back to him though considering the ankle injury.

Stockholm Syndrome · « **Reply #344 on:** August 17, 2019, 04:54:04 pm »

Remember Allison had a similar level howler against Leicester last year.

It happens, we won, no harm

Really good game and a really brainless moment. As long as it doesnt affect him going forward its fine.

Apart from that mistake he has done very well.

Yeah, although you'll get some rushing in here to attack him for making it. He's not perfect, even Alisson isn't, and we shouldn't expect perfection.

CraigDS · « **Reply #351 on:** August 17, 2019, 04:55:39 pm »

Made a couple of good saves, and a howler. Hopefully more of the former and less of the latter from now on.

Sometimes takes a howler like that to get a keeper to concentrate (happened to Alisson) so hopefully wont see it happen again.

Red Eyed · « **Reply #352 on:** August 17, 2019, 04:57:02 pm »

ADRIIAAN!

Really stupid mistake but ironically reassuring performance. Thought he was really good up until then.

JackWard33 · « **Reply #353 on:** August 17, 2019, 04:58:23 pm »

Moment of madness but he’s basically won us a cup and 3 points - we don’t win that game with Mignolet in goal today no chance we get out the first half with a clean sheet

TepidT2O · « **Reply #354 on:** August 17, 2019, 04:59:00 pm »

He’s a number two.

There’s a reason he’s not a number one. But he’s not a bad number two for all that.

farawayred · « **Reply #355 on:** August 17, 2019, 04:59:53 pm »

ADRIÁÁÁÁÁÁÁN!!!!!

What a spectacular calamity, but he pulled out two great saves! Credit where it's due. And yeah, the beers are on him.

He won us the cup but bollocks did he win 3 points for us. Alisson might have claimed the corner that Yoshida nearly scored from and he let them back into that after a 2-0 win for us looked certain. As stated above, there's a reason he's number two and the Alisson can't come back soon enough.

deFacto please, you bastards · « **Reply #357 on:** August 17, 2019, 05:02:39 pm »

Shows why he's a 2. Capable of making good saves but equally making mistakes. He made the same mistake twice, the 2nd time it cost us a goal.

Hopefully he learns from it, until Becker comes back

I also don't like that he's rooted to his line on free kicks and corners. But a good shot stopper

Perham · « **Reply #358 on:** August 17, 2019, 05:03:00 pm »

He made some good saves but hopefully mistakes like that will be rare from now on.

Medellin · « **Reply #359 on:** August 17, 2019, 05:03:29 pm »

Glad that's out of the way & didn't cost us points.
Very much confident in Adrian as our No2.
