right up until his first minor blunder. 

Absolutely. The shit cunt.

I'm a bit concerned.

Why

It would have been some save to get that. He's obviously not Alisson but he's not throwing them in.

Went down in instalments for the goal and the one he spilled out at the end. 

[Lee909]

Not worried

At least not yet. 

He's only just back and didn't seem like he had much preseason training. Hopefully it's only a 3/4week job for him anyway 

[ZonkoVille77]

He didn't anticipate the goal and was slow going down for it. I reckon Alisson saves that. Mig wouldn't. We'll never know. I'm fuckin shite.

[Mudface]

Adrianolet. Adrius.

He's a half decent goalie from what I remember at West Ham. Definitely an excellent number 2 to steady a shop at a top team.

 

However, if Ali is out for a few weeks, it's a decent chance we would drop points from goals that a world class keeper would save. Like Virgil, he brings a calmness to the defence.

I feel a lot safer with him between the sticks than margarine fingers Mingolet. Football is a funny old game. He was probably content with being number 2 for the foreseeable and will now be thrust into the limelight. He's capable enough, especially when we'll be up the other end of the pitch most of the time. Karius and Mingolet's problems where that they just weren't capable.

The one he spilled out?

 

It was always under control and there was never any danger.

 

As for the goal, Gomez and Trent somehow conspired to give their top scorer a free run on goal.

Dont really know, but it seems he’s a decent PL keeper. And looked quite comfortable with the ball at his feet.

 

If so, loosing Alisson for a longer spell is a big blow to our season.

 

Loosing Alisson for a longer spell and Mignolet stepping in would be a massive blow. A fatal blow probably, to a potential title challenge.

 

Three things needed to be addressed this summer, a fourth top class attacking player, a good backup at LB/full back and a good backup goalie. Looks like we may have picked the right one when we only addressed one of the three.

Adrian has always struck me as a decent keeper. He's now at that age where he's happy to be number 2 at a top club rather than being in the firing line at a lower club. I'm sure Alisson will be back sooner rather than later, it could mean he is out for a month, or could be back sooner. Our strengths are in attack and whoever is in goal has little to do a lot of the time. Mingolet wasn't good at that, nor Karius. Could be down to concentration etc. Adrian doesn't strike me as the type of keeper to lack in that area. 

[Captain Howdy]

I’m with TK I’m afraid, don’t like the look of him, hopefully Alison is back quick smart

He went down like my 80-year-old granny. To be fair though, you'd expect him to be a bit rusty and, aside from that, he did OK. Losing Alisson would be a huge blow though.

I hope you’re right, both with regards to the length of Alissons absence and the type of keeper Adrian is.

 

 

[Dr Nowt]

Big Virg rush goalie. 

 

No drama.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Not sure why people are saying he went down slow for the shot which led to their goal. It was a quick effort from Pukki and went into the corner, I doubt most keepers would have got anywhere near it. 

[No2]

Not being Mingolet is huge. Hopefully he not in nets long enough to lose trust of tram mates and fans. The international break could benefit us for once, I don't think he will miss more than 3 league games.

I don’t think whether or not he retains the trust of his fellow commuters needs to be a cause for concern.

She went down on me quick enough. 

Barely had time to take her teeth out, the saucy minx.

Jurgen sounds a bit worried about Alisson's injury. Looked like he was holding the back of his knee no this calf as some suggest. I hope he hasnt done his ACL, a bit like Sane.

 

That said, I was always of the impression Adrian was a good keeper. Im still surprised west ham let him go even if they did buy the lad from swansea. Im more confident with him deputising for Alisson. Problem is the back ups now are young lads who also seem to be injured. Maybe the lad who went on the US tour might be signed as emergency cover if he's still a free agent?

[sir roger]

Why the fuck didn't the physios insist on Alisson getting on the stretcher.

 

I hate this bollocks where we are paying small fortunes to guys who have medical science degrees coming out of their arses and spending millions on new cutting-edge medical equipment and then let a £60-odd million pound asset hop for 100 yards on a badly-damaged leg. 

[Josef Svejk]

My only impression of Adrian is that he was replaced at West Ham by a bog-standard Irish 'keeper who was binned shortly thereafter...
