Adrian: “It could have finished five or six-nil at least!”

Adrian’s return to the goalkeeping position has been one of the most widely accepted moves of  David Moyes’ reign.

With just one goal conceded since the Spaniard was handed the sweater at Manchester City, things could hardly have gone better.

And the guy for so long a terrace cult hero could hardly be happier with things – notably yesterday’ comfortable win at Stoke.

And after the game he said: “It’s a massive three points and a massive win. We played very well in defence and in attack. It could have finished five or six-nil at least!

“Everyone deserved it. We have been working hard for the last few weeks and we are in a positive way now and so everyone has to enjoy this massive three points.

“It was strange but we knew the game would be delayed, so we went back to the dressing room and started again. We played very well at three or four o’clock. The time didn’t matter.”

“We play as a team and we are showing that we’re a good team and a good squad and we are attacking and defending like that.

“We have to stay working in this moment. We have to enjoy this great win, but we have an important game on Tuesday against Arsenal in the Cup.”
