Milner came off with a knock didn't he?

He did, good point

I wouldn't say the Lallana position is up for grabs. Firmino has done well, but Klopp likes Lallana & I think he's a guaranteed starter for now.

As for Ibe, had a good game midweek in addition to a few recent cameos so you could say he deserves to start ahead of Milner who isn't in top form.

I don't think Lallana's place is secure at the moment

The team is right. It's not a huge surprise to switch players round after aEuropa league game.

Apparently, if a player scores he's guaranteed to start in the next game. Probably bollocks!

Got a feeling Klopp really likes Lallana.

I'd like him more if he scored once in a while

Got a feeling Klopp really likes Lallana.

I wouldn't be surprised, he is a hard working player and he does have quality (TBH I don't think he's shown it as much in an LFC shirt as he should have so far), I think his hard work and pressing suits the way that Klopp wants to play.

But for me most of his good work in our team has been done defensively (tracking back etc) rather than in the final third - creating chances and scoring goals etc. which is what we want from him. IMO it is probably one of strongest positions in terms of strength and depth of the squad and for me he is yet to prove that he is a better option than the players he is competing against for a place. That is why I believe that 'his' place is up for grabs.
