    2 years ago today the great man made his league debut. And it was my first decent nights sleep in years after watching the Mig and Karius 😂😂

    21.10.2020 AFC Ajax - Liverpool FC
    24.10.2020 Liverpool FC - Sheffield Utd
    27.10.2020 Liverpool FC - FC Midtjylland
    31.10.2020 Liverpool FC - West Ham
    03.11.2020 Atalanta Bergamo - Liverpool FC
    07.11.2020 Manchester City - Liverpool FC

    Could be worse. Hopefully 6 weeks is real worst case scenario.

    I can now throw Adrian into that lot. From a duo to a useless trio.

    Jurgen, the analysis team and players just need to study the adjustments they made to how they play with Allison in goal to how they had to play with Adrian in goal last season and make sure they do the same things

    We'll need to modify a few things, for sure. I'd be encouraging players to try and keep possession for longer, slow things down in spells where we can and to avoid passing it back to Adrian if at all possible, with strict instructions to Adrian for an attempted long ball to a particular outlet should it come back to him.

    "Critical non-essentials" to buy little percentages all over the pitch. Time the press better, cut the channels off better, modify the press to ensure the distance between our lines is nice and small, whatever it takes.

    I Honestly wouldn't mind us dropping 10 yards whilst otherwise maintaining our usual principles as we have the capacity to counter very well. If we don't chase it at the very top of the pitch we keep the space between the front three and midfield three a little smaller.

    Don't give them any freebies, don't concede possession lightly, slow things down where required. We haven't become awful overnight.

    The Champion's League group should actually be a helpful change of pace. That Villa game was dire but 9 points from 12 is ultimately fine - we don't lose 6 points for a drubbing so let's get the thing out of our systems and regroup.

    One of the things that makes a mistake like Adrian's that much worse is that he has previously made the same mistake. Surely as soon as you make the glaring errors that he has (if not after the first time, then certainly at worst after the second time it occurs) you make sure (as much as you can) that they never happen again? It's not as if something such as just clearing the ball instead of trying to pass your way out of trouble is hard to rectify?

    For me, if a player keeps making the exact same mistake(s), at best their mentality and ability to learn and adapt needs to come in for serious questioning, and at worst they need to be binned off, and quickly.

    Can we all just pretend he's going to be fit for the Everton match so we can only start to worry when the team news is announced before the game.
