Why Adrian feels he should be Liverpool's no. 1 and not Alisson Becker

Image
For the first time in 10 years, Liverpool have two talented goalkeepers going to head to head for a starting spot. 

The first is Alisson Becker who is currently injured after picking up a calf injury in Liverpool's first match of the season. But before his injury, Alisson proved he is a world class keeper by leading Liverpool to their sixth Champions League. 

He is the only goalkeeper in history who succeeded in winning the Champions League, Premier League and Copa America best goalkeeper. 

He is also UEFA Best Goalkeeper and FIFA World Best Goalkeeper. Alisson is a modern day shot-stopper who combines athleticism with good reflexes, accurate passing and an incredible footwork. 

But his injury has paved the way for another to emerge from shadow into the spot light. 

Adrain is finally fulfilling his talent and developing quickly into one of world's finest goalkeepers. 

With Liverpool, he has won his first ever trophy as a player by keeping Chelsea's spot kicks out of his net. That morale boasting win has shot his confidence sky high and today, Liverpool are unbeaten in their opening seven matches of the season. 

Adrian meanwhile has conceded just five goals all season and looks to be getting better and better in every game he plays. 

Under Jurgen Klopp several players have emerged from obscurity into stardom. The likes of Trent Alexander Arnold, Andrew Robertson, Joel Matip and Fabinho have managed to come into the first team by working extremely hard and proving to the gaffer they're better. 

Trent Alexander {displaced Nathaniel Clyne}, Andrew Robertson {Alberto Moreno}, Jeol Matip {Joe Gomez}, Fabinho {James Milner } and now its time Adrian did the same to Alisson Becker.

Maurizio Sarri wins the mentality battle: Cristiano Ronaldo is back to his best for Juventus

Muarizio Sarri wanted a statement from Cristiano Ronaldo now he has. Ronaldo has fired Portugal to brink of Euro 2020 qualification after scoring a hat-trick {his 56th career hat-tick} in Portugal's 6-0 win over Lithuania.  The 34-year-old has now scored 98 International goals in 163 games and looks likely to reach a century when Portugal take on Luxembourg on Sunday.  Sarri thought for moment he could be the coach to close the book on Ronaldo, the man who will finally tell Cristiano Ronaldo; 'You're just not good enough and have to sit on the bench or leave'.  But how wrong was he, Ronaldo posses a giant mentality and hates to be told he is not good enough to play or last the entire match.. Against Lithuania, it sparked him back to live and give him another reason to keep fighting and proving to each and everyone who doubted him that he is the best player in the world. Put it this way, Ronaldo's rebirth is good news not just to Portugal but to Juventus and Ma...

De Bruyne warns: I don't care about the record at Anfield, we will beat Liverpool

Kevin De Bruyne has bruised aside the popular notion that Manchester City will always lose at Anfield when they face Liverpool.  City are yet to win at Anfield since 2003 but De Bruyne thinks its all meaningless statistics that will be ended on Sunday.  A draw at Anfield will be ok but a win will be fantastic for Pep Guardiola and City who will close the gap to 3 points and pile pressure on Liverpool. But a defeat will hand the initiative to Liverpool who will move 9 points clear of the reigning champions. Asked about the record, De Bruyne said: "What can a player do with statistics like this?" the midfielder asked reporters.  "It's for you guys to keep track, i don't care. The big games are the ones you want to play and win.  "I prefer to play in that than when there is nobody there. Professionals want to play in front of 50,50, 70, 80 thousand people and it makes it worthwhile. You train all your life to get to the big stages".  De Bruyne...

Pep Guardiola confirms 5 first team players will miss Liverpool clash

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that five of his trusted lieutenants will miss the penultimate clash with Liverpool.  Liverpool are arguably the only Premier League team strong enough to stop City from winning a third consecutive League title. They're 6 points ahead of City having won 10 games and drawn just once this season..  A win at Anfield will see the Reds move 9 points clear of City which Guardiola will be hoping to avoid.  But beating Liverpool at Anfield will be hard without Aymeric Laporte {ankle injury}, Leroy Sane {cruciate ligament damage}, Rodri {calf injury} and Aleks Zinchenko {ankle injury} and now David Silva {muscular problem} will be very hard.  "I didn't speak with the doctor but when he has a muscular problem and cannot play more minutes", Guadiola told reporters about David Silva's injury.  "It is because he has something and when it is a muscular problem it always a minimum of 10-12 days".  Pep G...

Liverpool 2-1 Crystal: Firmino is no average striker and 5 things we learnt

Another game, another victory, Liverpool have finally discovered how to grind out results even when playing way below average.  Palace were good to watch, they stopped Liverpool's swashbuckling football in the first 15 minutes of play and put them to the sword by scoring the first goal only for VAR {Video Assistant Referee} to choke it off.  The first half might have ended in stalemate but the second half saw Liverpool take the initiative through Sadio Mane whose snap shot evaded everyone and found the back of the net.  Wilfred Zaha did restore parity to keep Palace fans believing but in the dying minute, Firmino scored the winning goal to put Liverpool 2-1 up and eight points clear of Leicester City.  Here are the five things we learnt:  1. Van DIjk is a monster, he is a world class defender-  Where will Liverpool be without Van Dijk? Porbably in 7th place or most likely 10th. He won every aerial ball, tussled with Jordan Ayew and came out on ...

Redknapp: Pep Guardiola is not 'playing mind games, he is afraid of SADIO MANE'

Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp has bruised aside the assertion that Pep Guardiola was playing mind games or attempting to have dig at Sadio Mane.  Guardiola is afraid of Sadio Mane knowing he is Liverpool's most dangerous player. The Senegalese international is the star man at Anfield, he has scored 10 goals with 6 assists in just 15 games this season..  He has contributed to 7 wins this season by either scoring the winning goal or having a hand in scoring the winner. Redknapp feels Pep Guardiola is very worried about Mane and the danger he will pose when City visit Anfield in the weekend.  "Hearing Pep Guardiola mention Sadio Mane and diving was surprising", Redknapp told Daily Mail. "It is unusual to hear a manager say that about a rival player, but i don't think it was Guardiola trying to wind up Mane ahead of this Sunday's showdown at Anfield. It wasn't an attempt at mind games, or a deliberate dig. I believe Guardiola genuinely f...

From £90m to just £15m: Thomas Muller finally heading to Liverpool

According to Bild, Thomas Muller will join a Premier League team this summer after growing disillusioned with life on the bench. The 30-year-old is currently relegated to the bench and only used sparingly to give rest to the likes of Philippe Coutinho or Sergi Gnaby. Such demotion from Niko Kovac has hurt him deeply and now he wants to move to bigger and better club.  Jurgen Klopp is a huge fan of his German World Cup and once tried to convince him to join him at Liverpool back in 2017..  Klopp was ready to pay £90m to bring him to Anfield but, Muller felt Bayern Munich still loved him and were capable of winning both domestic and European trophies.  He was absolutely right with that assertion back in 2017 but today, Muller is back up player who can't even get into a team that contains the likes Sergi Gnabry, Philippe Coutinho, Kingsley Coman and others.  Fed up with having to watch others player while he sits on the bench, Muller has reportedly spoke...

Injury boast: Manchester City super defender returns to training

Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has confirmed that his highly dependable defender Aymeric Laporte is back and undergoing light training.  The French defender's return will come as huge boast to City who are seriously struggling for consistency or keep out goals.  City have kept just one clean sheet in 15 Premier League matches which goes to prove why Liverpool are 13 points clear of them.  Guardiola was asked if Aymeric Laporte and Leroy Sane are back and he said;  "First of all, Happy New Year for everyone. Laporte and Leroy are injured and the rest are ok!" he told the press.  Quizzed again on Laporte, he added: "He's getting better. He's training alone but already on the pitch. I don't know but he's in the last part.  "In one week or ten days he can start to trian with us".
