So was fucking Adrian, difference is butland hasn't lost the confidence of our defenders
Doesn't mean he's not better than Adrian.
Being better than Adrian is a pretty low bar.
I'd be fascinated to find out how a keeper tries to improve the thinking side of his game. We all know that Adrian can spend ages, if he wants to, kicking the ball until it stops going out of touch - there's an obvious way to work on some technical deficiencies - but what he needs to work on most are his terrible errors of judgement. Those are the things that have to be put right before he's going to be even remotely reliable.
He's currently as bad as Karius in terms of his incomprehensible tendency to bowl or pass the ball straight out to an opponent. That's what loses us games. That's what bombed us out of a CL competition that we should have gone on to win. He really does ruin our games.
Do they sit down with him, play such errors back and ask him what the hell he was thinking? There's sadly quite a few examples from which to choose. But that's surely the only hope for him - he just HAS to cut out the appalling decisions during games. And I'm not sure if that's even slightly possible.

That’s true but his body may no longer be up to it.
I'd rather keep Adrian than have Butland
Its decision making, which we all know at the top level is about good instinct and awareness - knowing the dangers, the potential, picking the right ball out and when to do it. He's just not very good at it. Reina and Allison have good footballing brains, knowing when to come and when to stay, the timing, the 30-40 yard punt that might give one of our attackers a quick break.
I think too often with sub goalies, teams just go for someone half decent, on low wages with some experience, who they hope they rarely have to use.

I laughed and cried at the same time, say it ain't so!Indeed. He stuck with Lovren for several years of disasters, Adrian will be here until the bitter end of all things.
Im struggling to think of a single player Klopp has signed that he has moved on in his time here. There might be a fringe or youth player hes signed that moved on but I cant think of any.
Klavan and Solanke are the only two I think.
Though to be fair, that's because he's mostly bought really well.
Or because no-one wants Karius
Klopp has bought relatively few players in his time here and most of them have been successes thankfully so there hasn't been as much need for chopping and changing.

I think the most notable senior player sale has been good 'ol Ragnar!
As an aside, we've done really well out of our Academy in the last few years. Didn't realize we got 13M for Danny Ward.
What surprises me about Adrian being shite under press pressure is that he gets to practice against Mo/Bobby/Mane daily (arguably the best in the business) so he has time to learn how to cope, find ways that work for him and generally be quick of thought about what to do. It's not like he's in an environment where the only pressing he ever comes up against is in games. Bizarre.
Ming used to be pretty shit at kicking, he always used to belt it to nowhere or out for a throw inviting pressure back for us. But since then we have gotten so much better at winning the ball back.
Maybe the coaches should just ask Adrian to do the same instead of trying to be too clever. It's obviously not his game. Just go the usual route one kick downfield, tide through this period where the pressure is hot till AB comes back.

Maybe Ming can teach him that special trick where you ponder over a rolling ball for an age trying to make your mind up what to do with it, until eventually you let it roll slowly over the line for a corner
Well no wonder Firmino's pressing game has gone to total shit having honed his skills against the formidable Adrian for the last year.
Or maybe he knows something we don't 😉
He's ended his own Liverpool career with that, I imagine.
He scored a lovely header against Barca in a friendly. Let's not forget that too.
We all set our own standards. Personally I'd like to think someone who knows more than we do would not be so stupid and cynical as to post such a message on Instagram. He needs bombing out the club asap.
I wonder if these Jack Butland Rumours are true or not..
Id say he is a better keeper than Adrian..
Though we would probably need to offload Adrian in order to make the deal happen..
Buy Butland from Stoke.. Loan Adrian to them as part of the deal..
Job Done
