Bad day in the office for former Hammer

|

Former Hammer Adrian may have had the worst day of his career as he let in seven against  Aston Villa.

Liverpool were missing first-choice goalkeeper Alisson through injury who is expected to be out for at least four weeks.

New signings Ollie Watkins and Ross Barkley both of which have been linked to the Hammers over the transfer window scored four of the seven goals.

Villa’s £28m record signing Watkins scored his first Premier League goal as the result of a huge error by Adrian. The stand-in keeper passed the ball straight to Grealish, who cut it back for Watkins to side-foot in from eight yards.

Adrian has made five errors directly leading to goals in his 21 appearances for Liverpool – as many as first-choice Alisson has in 92 games. Klopp revealed after the game that Alisson is likely to miss several games with a shoulder injury.

It is the first time Liverpool have conceded seven goals since 1963 and is only their fourth Premier League defeat since 3 January 2019.

    Ollie Watkins the one who got away. Good signing Villa and Haller should study the video of that game.

    Yesterday just goes to show that every team in the PL can be beaten. Even Everton I am sure. But there is no need for any fear factor facing any PL team this season…every game can be a victory if we play with same momentum as last 2 weeks. Happy hammer!
