Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum feels that Adrian’s reaction to his error against Southampton will be important.
The 32-year old keeper’s misjudged pass saw Danny Ings score for the Saints. This eventually cost Liverpool nothing but a clean sheet.
Speaking about Adrian’s error, Wijnaldum said as quoted by the Mirror: “Those kind of things can happen with a goalkeeper. Last season it happened to Alisson against Leicester City. And in a pre-season friendly.How is he going to react to the mistake? I think that is more important than the mistake itself. Everyone can make a mistake, also a goalkeeper. But the only thing is, he is a goalkeeper, and if he make a mistake, a lot of times, it will result in a goal.
“Everyone needs time to adjust. He is just in for, not even two weeks, so we have to get used to each other. It would have been easier if he had come in from the start with Simon (Mignolet) leaving and him coming in. Now we just have to take the time that we have and train with each other and get to know each other better because everyone needs time to settle in.”
Adrian will have to be more alert in goal for at least as long as Alisson is unavailable because errors like the one he made against Southampton could well cost Liverpool points when they take on stronger teams.
The Reds next face Arsenal at Anfield and the Spanish goalie will have to make sure he doesn’t produce those kinds of errors.
