Adam Lallana

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Both he and Coutinho look a hell of a lot fitter now too. A proper pre-season and the poaching of Kornmayer seem to have done wonders for the pair of them.

[Grinch]

geez, reading some of the posts from the start of the year on this thread...how opinions change.

Well he was shit for two years and now he's playing very well. People are only calling what they see.

 

Obviously no more important than Mane, Coutinho and Firmino but well worth his place in the side these days.

[Dr Nowt]

Hats off to Lord Stringvest. He saw when there was nothing to see. He looked into Lallana's Cruyff Maze and out the other side to where Adam is now. The skill wormhole opened and it spoke.

The thing people don't realise about Stringy's incalculable haul of years on this planet is they don't merely stretch backwards to the dawn of time, but also forwards, to the end of it.

 

He has already lived every year there has been or ever will be, and is now merely unstuck in time, shuffling back and forth through the ether in Boden gear, incontinence pants and a Half Man Half Biscuit t-shirt, observing us curiously like ants he pokes now and then with a stick.

 

He is the hand on the tiller.

 

He is the face at the window.

 

He is the éminence grise.

[Iceman]

He was shit

But now he's good

His face looks like it's made of wood

Coutinh-o-o

Coutinh-o-o

He was shite

Now he's the daddy

Where the Fuck is Trucker Paddy?

Coutinho-o-o

Coutinho-o-o

He's gone quantum on these mofos.

I'm printing that out and sending it by owl to everyone who has done me wrong. And to those who will do me wrong in the future.

 

If the costs weren't so prohibitive, I'd have it engraved on my headstone.

 

Touched.

[Russ Atmosphere]

First time that a photographer has managed to capture him mid-Cruyffy.

Love to claim credit, mate. I grafted it from TK's draft folder when I hacked his account.

[joe_fishfish]

He's so much better now he's realised not every first touch has to be a Cruyff turn. Under Rodgers he slowed everything down so much with that shit.

 

In this system he's great in that central role. He finds space really well and although he's a slow weak fanny when he gives it first time or does a Cruyff turn at the proper time he looks fucking excellent.

Got a nice Shakin Stevens impression going on there.

[El Rojo]

Can only imagine the hype there'd be about this guy if he was English.

[Josef Svejk]

Can only imagine the hype there'd be about this guy if he were a 20 year old at Man United.

 

Just imagine...

Like capturing a humming birds wing.

Has anyone done a youtube of his performance yesterday?  I'd watch it over and over.

Has anyone done a youtube of his performance yesterday?  I'd tug it off over and over.

Yay!

 

Motm performance right there

Cheers Russ - just beat me to it.  

[Russ Atmosphere]

Cheers Russ - just beating off to it.  

 

No worries mate.

"I ask myself who England's best player is and on current form I'd probably say Adam Lallana," Le Tissier told Sky Sports.

 

Could not agree more. Top, top, top player.

[Barnesey]

I don't think I have ever seen a more genuinely two footed player

[Xherdan]

Top, top, top, top, top player.

[Kevin D]

Where were you,

Where were you,

Where were you when we were shit?

Where were you when we were shit?

[lifetime fan]

Xabi Alonso says you're talking shite.

[El Dangerous]

Lallana should be sold. I'm a long suffering sort, and I don't react and have a go at players on a personal level. He seems a decent fella and all the rest of it...

 

However, his job, in the area of the pitch he operates, is to offer a goal threat and also create some goals. The working hard and playing neat and tidy stuff is just a means to an end. Unfortunately the end product is just not there.

 

I think there are lots of teams in the Prem who could buy Lallana for 8-10M and pay his wages. The new TV deal sees to that. And he has enough of a 'name' that for some teams it will add a certain cachet that they are coming up through the ranks.

 

Replace with Williams, who will offer pace, goals, assists and will stretch it all out and scare the living daylights out of defenders. If the release clause thing is true, make it happen now.

You're definitely on commission as far as Williams is concerned!
