He’s effectively an assistant coach now, hopefully formalised next season

This will sound like a dumb idea ... most likely because it is ... but, whilst he is still a player under contract, could we loan him out to a lower league club as a player-manager, so he comes back with first team management experience?

do the same with millie and pascal as they approach the end, and we have an assembly line, just like with our wonder kids at the moment!

It’s incredible how many times our performance level drops off and we concede shortly after Lallana goes off.

Such a good player still. Wish we could find a younger version.
That can't be right. I know someone who posts on NSC and some other posters reckons Lallana is SHITEHOUSE.

Will he stay with us after the summer ?

Maybe but isn't his family in the Bournemouth area, where he comes from? Possibly why he is undecided yet as to where his future lies. It's a great set up at Brighton but it is a long commute.
Is he commuting from Bournemouth now? If not, why would he start doing it now? Not everybody winds up in their 'home' town, a couple of streets away from mum and dad!

I don’t honestly know but a few remarks he has made led me to that assumption. I assume he married a local girl when he grew up in that area and when they moved back south they settled back where their roots were. I don’t think he commutes daily but stays in Brighton most of the time. It wouldn’t surprise me if he makes the decision in the summer, as he has said himself. He may be offered another year playing but if he isn’t then he will make a decision on where to live. He is not absolutely sure he wants to be a coach, he says so himself.

The thought occurs that he has his foot in the door at the FA so he may see his future there? He is quite high profile and he may see that as a pathway to higher things. Didn’t do Southgate any harm. It may depend on how his Brighton career progresses.

Love watching him play. Fantastically quick feet, thinking one step ahead of those around him and ALWAYS scanning……watch his head, it’s incredible how he watches what is going on.
Great description.

He really was above everyone else for a spell there….

Got hacked down twice by Romero, who was very lucky to be on the pitch by half-time.

Terrible officials….

He never switches off, even when he was walking off after being subbed he’s shouting out instructions to his team mates. His footballing brain and his feet are still as sharp as ever, it’s a shame the rest of his body can’t get him through 90 mins.
