Adam Lallana

Aye, agree with you both.

Anyone who had properly watched this guy play last season could see he was everything you'd want from a Liverpool player. Perpetual motion, two footed, vision, skill, commitment... I think he's great and £25m very well spent.

I was amazed to see so many underwhelmed. Proper footballer.

People don't want to spend money on domestic talent - simple as that. Lallana is a tremendous footballer. He isn't fast, he isn't particularly strong and sort of looks a little dopey but he's tremendous on the ball. No-one really like him in England really and could easily fit into a Spain-like set up.

Can you imagine the jizzfest if he'd have had a foreign sounding name?

very good today and boy does he love a pirouette

If anyone plays 5 a side (or even a skilful 11 a side level) they'll know how f*cking knackering it is to keep up with a player who never stops twisting and turning. Doesn't seem like any ground is covered but it can knock a defender/midfielder out way before the 90 minute mark.

Its no surprise by the end of the first half Coutinho and Lallana had brought their opposing midfielders to a virtual standstill to allow that one two to look like it was done in slow motion.

And the best thing is Lallana has the fitness to keep going until the 89th minute with his tricks with no visible drop in quality (unlike Coutinho). I'm expecting a lot of late goals from us this season.

Regarding his fitness, wasn't it a problem at Southampton?

Played every league game last season and missed 8 the season before.

He rarely finished games. Probably due to the intensity he applies in pressuring the opposition.

[Chazza]

Seemed to finish quite a few.

Less so toward the end of the season.

I think the hesitance on here is because he doesn't really have a lot of pedigree. I can only speak for myself... I don't doubt his ability because clearly he's a good player, but I had/have concerns he has only played 2 seasons of top flight football at the age of 26. I know there are players plucked out of the Brazilian second division that are converted into CL quality players overnight, but they are usually a fraction of the price. When you thinking of a 'big' signing, seeing Lallana can be a bit underwhelming.

Regardless of that, I've been very happy with what he's shown thus far. I know his first 2 or 3 performances were quite dreadful but that was due to a lack of match fitness. Now that he's playing and up to speed he's looking very impressive. Hopefully he can build on these performances, with our other attacking players not on song it's vitally important he does.
