Can you make it into a poll?
As for the question, I don’t know. Mignolet is probably a somewhat better GK than Adrian overall; but Adrian did make some key saves and kept a very positive attitude even after mistakes, he doesn’t beat himself up like Ming does. No problem with him as a 2nd choice keeper.

We need to accept that this guy has at least one mistake in him per game, and that is the view of the West Ham fans, but he is capable of making world class saves, and more importantly making those saves regularly like he has done already, and saves that you would never get from Ming in crucial moments of a game.
More importantly - as we are the fans who are experts in wrecking a goalkeepers confidence like no other fans on this Earth - we are extremely lucky that this guy is full of confidence, and shrugs of his mistakes very very quickly like they never happened, and will probably not give a shit what we think of him. For the record, I think this mental attitude is essential to be a goalkeeper at our club. More than happy with him as number 2, as he has:
1) The right attitude and mental strength
2) Able to make world class saves when called upon.
Well, the mistake for Aubameyang’s chance last Saturday was due to a lack of understanding between him and Van Dijk - Adrian is used to playing with slower defenders and having to take a risk to protect them, now he needs to get used to playing with the world-class ones who can deal with the opposition on their own in most situations. Surely this type of mistake can be eradicated with time. Hopefully this early sequence of games will prove to be beneficial for Adrian in the long run.
Ming was a fucking mong for us over 3 seasons. At least give Adrian a chance to not be a complete fucking retard.
It wasnt a lack of understanding, it was his fuckup against Southampton playing pin hours mind
I still that was on VvD .. all he had to do was clear it.
Adrian. They're both probably similar in terms of ability, & potential mistakes, but in different areas, & Adrian's style suits us more than Mignolet's did.
Add in the fact that he doesn't seem to get as flustered after fuck ups & let it affect his confidence, as well as being vocal in a way that I never saw Mignolet pull off convincingly, & he's the obvious choice between the two.

They're both shit, but I'd prefer Mignolet
Anyone who thinks Mong is better than Adrian is struggling with reality. So delighted he's gone.
Ming, just about. I recall ming making some mistakes but never as big as the adrians against southampton. Adrian is a decent stop stopper but no more and his kicking is appalling We should stop playing the ball back to him.
On the plus side Adrian did win a trophy for us.

There's something likeable about Adrian, and he seems at home. He doesn't carry Ming's nervous disposition and I'm happy with him. He'll make a clanger or two, and Alisson can't come back quickly enough, but I'm going with him.
Get the fuck with voting Ming. 700 fuck ups is enough.
Adrian is on about 4 and so far it hasn’t led to losing any games or dropping points.
Ming cost us infinite

That's where I was too.
Struggling with what? Adrian has looked a fuck waiting to happen, and it has. Mignolet was like that occasionally. He had general flaws that didn't suit our game, but mistakes wise it was nowhere near what Adrian has been like so far, I'd have neither personally but let's not rewrite history.
Just dreamt that Adrian fucked up for another goal against Burnley.
But we're 4-0 up in 92nd minute so no biggy
It'd be a surprise if he didn't fuck up at some point today.
Yes I voted for Mignolet, but to be fair Adrian is a bit of an unknown still. I mean looking at it at face value, the man has made a major mistake in almost every game he has played in for us. Can't remember anything against Norwich(remind me) though.
Point is Mignolet didn't cost us every game and he didn't do Karius and Adrian type gaffes as far as I can remember.
Let's just be patient with Adrian, he had a decent career at West Ham he can do well with us.
