# Liverpool: Fans fume as James Pearce releases an update on Adrian

**James Pearce has reported that Liverpool are ‘very content’ with their back-up goalkeeper options.**

According to The Athletic reporter, the Merseyside outfit are pleased with Adrian as their second-choice goalkeeper and Pearce doesn’t feel as though the club need to make any changes (via [@AnfieldEdition](https://twitter.com/AnfieldEdition/status/1285906563962732544)).

Liverpool [signed the 33-year-old](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/359359-liverpool-fc-complete-signing-of-goalkeeper-adrian) in the summer of 2019 to serve as deputy to Alisson. He made a strong first impression by helping the Reds to their Super Cup victory over Chelsea but has [fallen down in a lot of fans’ books](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league/liverpool/liverpool-fans-react-to-adrian-post-following-atletico-defeat/) after some nightmare performances between the sticks.

Adrian made costly errors in both the [FA Cup](https://www.bbc.com/sport/av/football/51730084) and [Champions League](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/mar/12/adrian-not-to-blame-says-jurgen-klopp-liverpool-champions-league-exit) which ultimately led to Liverpool tumbling out of those competitions. Now, many supporters have responded to Pearce’s comments to voice their disagreement with the journalist.

One fan has tweeted that they would ‘sacrifice the PL’ in order to sell the Spaniard, whilst another has written ‘this ain’t the circus’. A large chunk of the fanbase are clearly eager to see Adrian replaced as soon as possible.

> Yeah, he’s the best. Single-handedly cost us another 1/4 final in the CL, but otherwise he’s perfect. Pearce strikes again with his nonsense.
