Adam Bogdan had a Liverpool debut to forget

The goalkeeper was drafted in as a late replacement for the injured Simon Mignolet.

ADAM BOGDAN WAS thrust into the limelight as he earned his first Premier League start for Liverpool following a late injury to Simon Mignolet prior to today’s match.

And the Liverpool reserve goalkeeper had a difficult afternoon, with the Reds losing 3-0 against Watford at Vicarage Road.

The visitors started badly, after Bogdan dropped Ben Watson’s corner, with Nathan Ake kicking the ball into the net as the goalkeeper tried to control it.

Bogdan looked shaky thereafter, and Liverpool’s misery continued, as Odion Ighalo doubled Watford’s advantage after just 15 minutes.

The Hungarian stopper did partially redeem himself in the second half, however, with a decent save to deny Ighalo in a one on one.

Ignalo made no mistake in the dying stages though, as his header completed a comfortable win.

    @Ruairi Kinsella: ruairi I had to think about that one. Fair play to him anyway. Wouldn’t we all like to have the ability to do it and get paid for it. Beats what I do for a living anyway.

    @Christiaan Theron: I think rookies get a minimum AUD$70k. Tadgh Kennelly was quoted as saying the Irish kids going out are on standard contracts of AUD$80k with flights, rent and a car taken care of for 2 years. After that they’d hope to be on a senior list and earning something close to the league average of AUD$300k, but I’d guess that average is skewed high by the elite players wages.
