Reanalysing Adam Lallana
In light of how manager Jürgen Klopp has come in and changed Liverpool’s style of play, it’s come time once again to reanalyse Adam Lallana’s role at the club.
Changes changes
Every football fan has seen it before. A new manager comes in and, in most cases, wants to spark some changes in the team. For Klopp, those changes were all highly anticipated. Supporters were referencing gegenpressing and heavy-metal football, and how much better, or at least different, it would …
Adam Lallana, What is the Point?
Seriously though, what is the point? You've read the title, you may or may not agree with the sentiment it offers but either way you're now expecting to read a piece of writing justifying whether or not there is actually any point in Liverpool's continual employment of their number 20.
Yet here I sit, staring deeply at my laptop, wondering how to describe or even justify a sigh? An expression of 'meh', the reaction completely devoid of emotion that engulfs …
Why Lallana should still be lining up in Liverpool's midfield next season

However, due to this change many fans …
Roberto Firmino: Sexy Hair, Can Score from Anywhere
It was around June 24th, I was on holiday and went to Dubai to visit my mate. I arrived the night before and we ended staying up late because we’ve not seen each other for a few years and are both avid Liverpool fans. We immediately talked about the poor season that just finished and started hoping for quality transfers.
The morning he was waking me up. He murmured “Dude, we signed Roberto Firmino”. I was half asleep and told …
Should Adam Lallana's Lack of Goals be a Concern?
It's considered the norm these days for Liverpool players to divide fan opinion. Reds manager Jurgen Klopp was supposed to unite a fractured fanbase but if you scan Twitter you'll find fans squabbling over players. There are consequences to not rating a player. You could state in December you think x player is okay but can be upgraded and then when they score in May you get people retweeting your five month old tweet and calling you delusional. It's always …
The Cost Of Adam Lallana
After a prolonged pursuit, St Albans-born Adam Lallana finally signed for Liverpool Football Club. Initially, there was a standoff between the two clubs regarding the fee, with Bournemouth being an added complication into what is always a difficult time.
Eventually (after a holiday to Brazil) Lallana signed, but how did the deal come about after Bournemouth were rumoured to be due 25% of any subsequent transfer; meaning that the fee that Southampton wanted was prohibitive?
Firstly, the 25% sell on …
