Adam Lallana

[lifetime fan]

The fuck is that???

[Trumo]

Dave's mum will tell you it's all because he's on 'roids. Seriously though, did he confuse the foot spa with an ice bucket?

[Anubis]

That's what happens when you let Stringvest lick your feet and suck your toes. A cautionary tale for the TSOP boys.

[Trumo]

Even Cheddar Man's feet are in better nick.

[El Rojo]

Even Cheddar Man's feet are in better nick.

Fair point, but I’d like to see Cheddar Man try to Cruyff-turn his way out of a scoring position and then signal to the bench that he’s pulled his hamstring.

[Tony Moanero]

 

I don't know whats more disgusting, his feet, or his hair.

 

 

Long hair is sound. Man buns are mega turd, though.

[TheHowieLama]

Yes and toes that have been surgically removed from a frostbite victim and Crazy glued on the stub ends of your former toes are worse.

 

I would sooner shoot myself in the foot with a foot shooter than have those attached to my ankles.

[Pidge]

If he hadn't forgotten his boots he wouldn't have had to borrow some from the cupboard.

[aws]

The hair is sucking all the blood from his toes.

[manwiththestick]

Everytime he does a Cruyff turn a red blood cell in his foot dies. Them's the breaks Adam, them's the breaks.

[cloggypop]

He's a good player. And he scored again. I like him. I also like Allen and Coutinho and Milner and Sakho. These are the players I like. Oh, and Ings.

Hang on, you like Coutinho?

[TheHowieLama]

[TheHowieLama]

Would have been nice if we could have brought him on last night.

[Baltar]

Honestly we'd have been better off had we bought Solanke on. 

[Dicko]

He is physically incapable of playing at the intensity required under Klopp.

[Mr T]

In hindsight Solanke would have been the better substitution. I can't really recall Lallana touching the ball.

[Anubis]

Made of chocolate. If we can afford to replace him we should.

[Section_31]

Think it'd be harsh to criticise too much as he's clearly rusty as fuck and his substitution was forced. He's not a top player though by any stretch.

[suzy]

I just can't understand how much he's gone downhill since last year. I seem to remember being really annoyed when he got injured last season and our form went really downhill.

He's been rusty as fuck for about six months.

[Guest Alex_K]

Solanke is v. poor too -- more so in his pressing during the game, so he wouldnt have been the answer. Lallana has never looked competent in the forward 3 roles, which is now at its most apparent with his slow, broken body. I keep reading that the Lallana/Salah sub. made our heads drop .. but more objectively speaking, it let the Madrid backline push right up the pitch, as we had no speed to get in behind other than Mane. The front 3 has worked like a metronome this season, with the pace of Salah & Mane giving Firmino space to be at his best .. with the lame Adam Lallana giving nothing, Firmino was crowded out, though Mane remained excellent. This is the outcome of the squad investment strategy (whoever has underseen it, group effort or not).

[Jay86]

Obviously depending on how fit he was we’d have been better off putting Can on to add a bit of physicality and pushing Wijnaldum up to the left wing, one thing he has got is bags of energy and that energy and pressing is what got Madrid and especially Marcelo so petrified to commit men forward. Lallana was less than useless last night.

Back to his real self?

He was truly terrible before Klopp arrived, then his form picked up and he hit a purple patch. He's clearly not match fit at the moment but I don't ever expect to see him have a purple patch again. Lovely touch, but no pace, no power, he literally hits through the ball like a child when trying to get any distance such as an 18 yard shot or a cross. I don't think I've ever seen a weaker top flight player and I get embarrassed watching him.

he is the main instigator of intensity when fit.  He's been out all season, and playing him wide has never worked.  Klopp should have taken off Wijnaldum at the same time, and played Lallana in the midfield with Ings through the middle and Firmino wide.

That is bollocks I'm afraid.
