Adam Lallana: ‘It’s been a tough journey to full fitness.’

Cryuff Turn in the morning and last thing at night.
Keep my body turning baby, you know it feels right.

Shitting out of tackles. I really don't care for the nivea spice boy. Send him back to Southampton just for spite.

Lallana can be a very good player but he spends far too much time over elaborating on the ball in midfield ( fair enough twisting and turning in the box where defenders are shit scared of bringing him down) and going into rash challenges where he inevitably comes off worse and then spends a few months in rehab. Rinse and repeat.

This is where most of the problems are coming from with the team's attacking moves at the moment. Players are taking three touches with the ball, when the third touch should have been the pass to a player that has made a decent run into space. As a result of not receiving the ball, the runs become less intelligent and players then take extra touches instead and before you know it the players are running into dead ends and not passing to each other. Even if they do, the player receiving is no longer expecting it and the move breaks down.

Last season players were taking a couple of touches at the most - even the goal from yesterday was Gomez moving forward passing quickly to Shaqiri, he then took one, maybe two touches then passes quick to Salah and bang. Goal.

Pass and move, it's the Liverpool groove.

Disappointed in the Echo.

Their reporter should have asked Lallana if he was aware that he had a lot of balls saying that in public.

yep ,that's fair enough but Lallana doesn't give you that. Klopp needs to put it on the line to him.

If his name was Adam Smith and he was a Scottish economist from the 1700s and didn’t wear ripped jeans and do the floss you’d all be raving about him.

Great player, he was. Had a knack for predicting the Scottish economy before, during and after matches. He knew how to repair jeans too, he just rarely bother to get them repaired. 

Adam Smith can go, for me. We should be all over than Carlos Marcino lad.

He was absolutely boss the year of 2016 and when he played in the latter part of 2016-17. He simply cannot play in the front 3, even at his fittest he was dire there for us. Hopefully he can just stay fit for an extended period and get back to a decent level, he will be a good option to have with Ox out and Keita struggling more than previously anticipated.

Adam Smith is too busy wanking over Anthony Joshua than to play football.

If we're back pretending Lallana can be the creative midfielder we need than it really does make a mockery of this strong squad shite.

He’ll be an automatic choice when fit

I doubt he'll remain fit. Got a touch of the Sturridge about him, maybe when he's down to the last year of his contract he'll be less injury prone.

For the bench yes.

If he's fit, John Maynard Keynes gets the shirt every time for me.

But because of the controversy of how commentators would pronounce his surname, and to appear like a slick South American, he should have "Maynard" on the back of his jersey.

Something has gone terribly wrong if Lallana is an automatic first choice after we have spent £100m on the midfield in one transfer window.

If he's calling his outing on Saturday 'full fitness' then he has a marathon to yet run.

To be fair there’s one other spot alongside Keita and Fabinho.

Put your Cryuff turn in, Cryuff turn out

In, out, turning all about

I bet he’s got really nice handwriting.

I bet he gets injured while doing that nice handwriting.

The only footballer to miss 3 months with RSI

Lallana once done a Cruyff turn and a Rabona at the same time in a youth game.

That is why his voice is as it is.
