Topic: Welcome Adrian

[The Test]

Loss of concentration. It happens. I reckon he was knackered from being awake all night last night wishing he had a real man...

[jillcwhomever]

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.

He made crucial saves in other parts of the game, including coming out brilliantly and stopping a certain goal. He earned the win just like everyone else did.

[Dench57]

Once is fine. Alisson did similar against Leicester early in his Liverpool career and didn't happen again.

[careful on these streets, I've heard stories]

He really needs to calm down, he seems to always be in a hurry to release the ball once he receives it.

[SteveLFC]

Not going to focus on that moment of madness but just to say it is one of those moments. A wake up call if you like, that can pull you back from being cocky to confident and decisive.

Overall, he had a good game and now his feet are well and truly on the ground, it bodes well for the upcoming matches. I want Jurgen to have a decision to make when Alisson is fit again rather than it being a formality.

[Koplass]

I thought his distribution today and against Chelsea has looked a little off to be honest but so did Alisson's when he first came. It might just be a case of getting used to the instructions he's been given.

[newterp]

He did the same thing in the first half

[aw1991]

Come on, he saved us numerous times today and he won us the Super Cup. It was an awful mistake but keepers who play risky like him are bound to make one eventually. I hope he will learn from this and keep up with his solid form until Alisson comes back.

He made several sharp saves. Overall he’s been excellent given his bar was Mignolet
Not sure you need to point out we need Alisson back

[PAC-MAN]

I really dont get the severe ammount of heroicness over Adrian, he was flirting with disaster all game, the first error when he kicked it at the Sthampton player should have be been enough for him to realise that he needs to stop thinking he has more time than he does.

Theres a reason he was a free agent, i get he made a reflex save and that's great, just i don't think he is a keeper that will control the goal, he just seems like another Migs to me.

Was a pretty average performance with all the distibution errors chucked in, understandably he gained us a cup, though that was close to been ruled out with the ammount of warnings he was given.

It is a story of how dreams are made though i guess, i also guess he was never expected to start for us

[Fromola]

If you're going to screw up it's best if it doesn't count. Today weve won. Like Alisson with Leicester early last season.

We do need Alisso  as soon as posdible

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Klopp said in his presser that the players shouldn't have played the ball to Adrian too much given his ankle problem. The goal he conceded wasn't because of that issue but there were other moments in the game where he felt that the ankle was a problem. He's usually good with his feet [paraphrasing]

[Hazell]

Blast from the 00s:

Yes! (I bought the single too!)

[Number 7]

It was a mistake and it didn’t cost us. I’m sure he’ll look back at the game and learn from it.

I still prefer him to Mignolet who was a calamity waiting to happen every time he played.

He also saved what would have been a farcical own goal.

[Dim Glas]

Klopp on whether he spoke to Adrian about his error…

Yes: ‘You finally arrived, welcome!’ Ali did the same. Obviously it’s a goalie thing at Liverpool, no problem with that as long as we win the games. All good.

Not to mention the save in the first half at nil-nil, from two yards out!

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

Get your shit together lad. You are not an amateur. Just twat it sideways when you don't know what to do with it. Everything is better than passing it perfectly into the legs of the opponent.

[ToneLa]

Get your shit together lad. You are not an amateur.

Bit harsh, he did make great saves...

[SinceSixtyFive]

I think hes great.

He won us a cup ffs.

I'm ignoring the mistake today as he deserves it as hes been ace for us... and I feel like it  - cos I like him.

Anyone with a different opinion can kindly do one and feck right off as Im right as always - the lad needs and deserves support.

[FLRed67]

To be fair, Allisson looked like an accident waiting to happen when he first joined .

I think some of it has to do with the way we play: a lot of passes back to the goalie, who then has to negotiate the press from the opposition forward.

He's been thrown into a difficult situation, and I'm not going to jump on his back.

[harryc]

Something you expect from a youngster not a seasoned 32 year old bu5 at least it didn’t cost us.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

Happens a few times every season (not to us always).

[Kenny's Jacket]

Get your shit together lad.

Follow your own advice

[Motty]

Bad mistake plus another one he was lucky with but apart from that I think he's done alright the last 2 games.

He wasnt the only player to fuck up today, hes the only one our "supporters" are moaning about though

[WhereAngelsPlay]

If he doesn't cost us any points then he will have done all we expect from him,seems to be better when he has no times to think.

[SinceSixtyFive]

You just don't understand how football works do you? Think about it... Danny is one of us and needed a goal in a way that wouldn't effect the result.

"Once a Red always a Red". Rehearsed. Obviously.

[I've been a good boy]

I think hes great.

He's definitely not great but as a back-up keeper, he'll do for now. Hope these type of mistakes are not a part of his arsenal, need a calm and composed figure between the sticks.

[Motty]

Needs to just get rid when someone is charging down on him then methinks. Obviously they are coached not to do that but think Alisson mixes it up right since the Leicester mistake.

[keyop]

Once is fine. Alisson did similar against Leicester early in his Liverpool career and didn't happen again.

Exactly. He did well throughout the game and his mistake didn't cost us, and he'll learn from it. Both fullbacks were available to pass to and he'll be kicking himself for a mistake like that. Think he's given a good account of himself in all 3 matches so far and we'll be fine.

[missis sumner]

I told my mum to "shut up" after she kept on going on, and on, about that goal.

FFS, he'd only just saved Matip scoring an OG...

Was good otherwise in the match, I'm not going to complain.

We've made up now, and we're going to watch MOTD later, because she's still stupid enough to pay for a TV licence. 

[Beninger]

He just needs to clear his head and move on. I think he’s doing well for our backup.

[El Lobo]

He’s fine. Think one of the reasons we signed him is he’s better with his feet than Mignolet was so people expecting him to just start launching it might be disappointed

[SinceSixtyFive]

He's definitely not great but as a back-up keeper, he'll do for now. Hope these type of mistakes are not a part of his arsenal, need a calm and composed figure between the sticks.

My bad.

He is relatively great.

All things considered.

I'm fucking made up with that.

[jason67]

Imagine what these young internet people would have thought of Brucie??? 

Would have been calling for his head after a couple of games, I seem to remember he went on to win a couple of things....

[hesbighesred]

He did the same thing in the first half

Yep. That worried me a little bit, as well as the insane lack of awareness he had that Ings was right in front of him - he had plenty of time and should have seen where Ings was as the pass was coming in. Not only that but he didn't seem to realise that the full back was open, either, I mean why pass to the centre back in that situation anyway? It was an absolutely dreadful mistake but thankfully it didn't cost us and hopefully he can learn from it.

It's frustrating because he had a decent game overall, though he's not the kind of 'keeper I was hoping for and thought he was, unfortunately - he's pretty rooted to his line for the most part. Not as bad as Mig's, I think, and does things quicker which I think is important.

[Ghost Town]

Pah ha ha. That was a stonker and no mistake

Made some good saves, though, otherwise.

And do Liverpool fans really need to be reminded that Alisson was fouled against Leicester, and therefore it wasn't a 'howler'?

[TepidT2O]

You get the best goalie in the world for a year...

Then he gets injured and a mere mortal has to go in goal ... and half of you lose your heads..



One year and you forgot what it was like

[keyop]

And they quickly forget that Alisson had his fair share of shaky moments, failed Cruyff turns, and a gifted goal - all before mid-September.

He wasn't a world-beater from day one by any stretch of the imagination, yet some on here expect Adrian to be. It's madness.

[DelTrotter]

No one has lost their head and no one expects Adrian to be a world beater 

There’s also no need to re write Alisson history, he was brilliant from the off. The Leicester error was early in the season but it was already obvious how good he was going to be after seeing how he dealt with everything v Palace and Brighton before that.
