Liverpool sign Adrian as backup to Alisson
ESPN FC's Stewart Robson explains why he believes Liverpool were the better side and were unlucky to walk away from the Community Shield empty handed.
Liverpool have signed free agent Adrian to deputise for goalkeeper Alisson following the £8 million departure of Simon Mignolet to Club Brugge.
The 32-year-old joins the European champions after undergoing a successful medical and agreeing personal terms on Monday.

Having left West Ham this summer, Adrian was due to hold talks with Real Valladolid, but stopped those negotiations once Liverpool made him an offer.

Jurgen Klopp was after an experienced No. 2 to fill the void of Mignolet's exit and the Spaniard ticks that box.
His six years with the Hammers saw him make 150 appearances in all competitions, with a professional career total of 287 outings.
Adrian is expected to be in the matchday squad on Friday when Liverpool kick off the new Premier League season against Norwich City at Anfield.
