John Achterberg discloses details of Adrian's extra training during break
Goalkeeping coach John Achterberg says Liverpool's Adrian was undertaking extra training sessions during the current international break to make up for the Spaniard's lack of pre-season workouts.
Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com, Achterberg disclosed that Adrian had not been sitting back and taking it easy since we last saw him in action.
“We did a few extra sessions with them both last week at Melwood. Obviously, Adrian came late in the summer to us and then after that he had an ankle …
Four From Four - Business as Usual for Liverpool
We are four games into the Premier League season, so naturally, it’s time for an irritating international break. International breaks, of course, have their benefits: being able to focus on the Ashes, the slight increase in quality in David Squires’ cartoons, managing to go a whole weekend without having some sort of stress-induced heart attack, and for those of us that actually enjoy it, the prospect of seeing your national team play.
There are some benefits for Liverpool and its …
Fabinho: Banishing Ghosts of Emre Can - And Then Some
When Emre Can was allowed to leave Liverpool to move to Juventus in 2018, many questioned whether Liverpool had made a mistake.
The German midfielder allowed his contract to run down before inevitably joining Juventus on a free transfer, leaving many fans scratching their head as to the club's decision to let him go.
However, fast forward a little over 12 months, and a man by the name of Fabinho has not only quashed the above scaremongering from Kopites, but …
Adrian already loving Liverpool in his short time at the club
Liverpool's new arrival, Adrian, has already enjoyed what he considers one of the best moments of his career at the club, despite arriving less than a month ago.
Adrian arrived in early August when it became clear that Liverpool's second-choice goalkeeper, Simon Mignolet, was returning to his homeland with Club Brugge.
In the first half of Liverpool's opening Premier League game against Norwich, Alisson suffered a suspected calf-tear and he has been out of action since. Adrian made his entrance …
Klopp's Liverpool Evolution
Last season, Liverpool was arguably the best team in Europe. An incredible Champions League victory and a stupendous 97 point league haul; allied with 30 league wins, which was always a mark of special Premier League Champions (at least in the past!).
Four games into the new season, and, so far so good. Liverpool have continued where they left off last campaign. Maximum league points and the European Super Cup a welcome addition to the trophy cabinet. While Klopp is …
Klopp Creating Liverpool Siege Mentality
Jurgen Klopp reneged on entering into the transfer market this summer to reinforce his first team.
Despite links to several players, including Nicolas Pepe and Bruno Fernandes, the German elected to keep his powder dry and not add ready-made first-team options to his squad.
Legitimate arguments were made that the European Champions needed to add depth to their squad in the left-back and forward line positions, in particular. But the Anfield club -- doubtlessly under instructions from their hug wielding …
Adrian Adequate As Alisson Absent
After what felt like an interminable wait, Liverpool today gave an update on the Alisson Becker's injury status.
The Brazilian keeper was substituted in the 38th minute of the Reds' 4-1 victory over Norwich City at Anfield on Friday night with what was speculated to be a calf injury.
Speculation was rife that the former holder of the "world's most expensive goalkeeper" tag would miss an extended period of time, with social media going into panicked overdrive.
However, in a …
Klopp gives fitness update ahead of Chelsea clash in UEFA Super Cup
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp today gave a general update on the fitness of The Reds' squad ahead of Wednesday night's UEFA Super Cup encounter with Chelsea in Istanbul.
There is still no further accurate reading on how long goalkeeper Alisson will be out for with the injury he sustained against Norwich on Friday night. Klopp has only mentioned that the Brazilian international will be unavailable 'for the next few weeks'.
As it stands, Alisson and Nathaniel Clyne are the only …
Adrian Given Huge Early Opportunity to Prove His Worth
A flying start to the season, but also something to be concerned about. Liverpool are back.
The Reds were scintillating at times in their demolition of Norwich, in a first half that epitomised why the Reds are one of the top two sides in Europe.
This was a Canaries side who eased to Championship glory last season, scoring 21 more goals from open play than any other side.
This was what the step up to the Premier League feels like, …
Liverpool Begin Campaign with 4-1 Norwich Victory
Liverpool got their 2019/2020 Premier League campaign off to the ideal start with a 4-1 victory over Norwich City at Anfield on Friday.
Goals from Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Divock Origi, as well as a Grant Hanley own goal sufficed for the efficient, if not always electric hosts.
As happy as the Reds will surely be with their season opening three points, they will wait nervously on the medical news surrounding Alisson. The keeper was replaced by Adrian …
