“We’ve got technically-gifted players in the team, but that ability to press the ball allows them to go and get and create chances at the top end of the field. We asked the players at that end to go and press and work, and he got his reward.
“That might only happen a couple of times in your career when you go and get goals like that. He blocked it really well because if he doesn’t block the line tactically coming into the press, the goalkeeper probably rolls it out to the other centre-half.
“He blocked the line, that forced the ‘keeper to kick it, he got his body there and got the bit of luck his pressing deserved. I’m very pleased. I think he’s a wonderfully gifted player.”
Lallana has worked his socks off since joining from Southampton but his quality has yet to shine through, but his work-rate and his second goal in particular last night showed what Liverpool paid a hefty amount for.
Can Adam kick on from here and go on to have a great debut season? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
Yes, Lallana has an important role in the revival of LFC. With the return of Sturridge from injury, Origi. Ibe and other talented youngsters from loan, LFC can vie for the EPL and a place in the Championship cup.
please u guys shud tell me that this Berahino link is not true.
Yea, if he continue. With this kind of work rate and intelligence, he wii be a catalyst in lfc quest for top four this seasson.
its fact that liverpool have only lost one game in which lucas has started (against madrid which was an inevitable loss) so BR better persist with him in that DM role; plsss
Llama can’t do it against Man U or Real Madrid, until then he is just a bog standard player, people getting carried away because he scores against Swansea lol.
