[Albion] Adam Lallana

[Lifelong Supporter]

Doing OK, but no more than that given his salary and signing on fee. He needs to contribute more goal wise (either scoring or by assist). Hopefully there is far more to come. 1 goal and one assist with shooting and crossing accuracy both of 17 per cent are not that impressive stats

One of the best we've ever had at controlling and distributing the ball whilst in tight spaces.

Really good at passing to awkward/unexpected angles whilst under pressure.

You shouldn't get obsessed with his goal and assist stats. His off the ball play is magnificent, creates so much space when he sucks in his opponents. I've said it before and I'll say it again, he's the cleverest player we've got.

We're lucky to have him.

Not obsessed and I agree he is clever. He needs to deliver more at the sharp end though where we are lacking. Hopefully he will. Let's see him star against Chelsea !!

He may not have the assists, but I'd suggest it's no coincidence that performances and results have improved since he's been starting regularly.

I feel his best asset to us is exactly what he points out in that video. Sometimes we play with naivety, get a bit panicky, and give away possession in dangerous areas. He has been quick to notice these moments, keeps a calm head to pick out a pass that alleviates this, or quickly gets himself onto the ball when we do lose it. Numerous times in the Everton game we looked nervous on the ball or we gave it away completely and he quickly fixed the problem with pass into space or closing down the opposition player who'd nicked the ball off us.

His quick feet are a wonder to behold and I think his experience and calm nature make him a great addition to our squad. Fitness was always going to be the issue, but he must be positive influence even when he isn't fully fit.

I agree, he calms our midfield down and often fixes mistakes .

Agreed and in my opinion I think Biss has been the biggest benefactor from the Lallana performances enabling him to reach his current levels of excellence

You say that and yet some people on here thought Biss wasn't playing very well recently as he had his mind set on a move already!

 

[Swansman]

According to the Potter press conference yesterday he's not been training this week, tight calf... Would be surprised to see him start tomorrow. Ali Mac time perhaps?

Clubs are chasing Biss and White , the perpetual struggle to wrest Dunk off us is probably on going , could be a pretty gutsy off season and a good time to stay well clear of this board .....in TB we trust , he has made a huge investment in the club and to see him claw 100-150 million back well you couldn't really begrudge him could you ....if he thinks that's the correct thing to do at this or any point in time .

He was very good against Leeds in the return fixture. They’ll give him room to really express himself.

Or a chance to see Moder in his preferred position?

 

[LamieRobertson]

Any update on his injury....back for WH?

GP said so in the pre-Wolves press conference a few days ago.

Obviously wont take any risks with him though, if he is not 100% fit he wont be playing.

If we are going to play the midfield diamond we did today this season, then Lallana will be crucial.

He’s made for that position, played really well today and heavily involved in the first 2 goals finding intelligent pockets of spcae and using the ball superbly.

The other bonus of playing that system is that position is also ideal for Mac Allister so when Lallana is not fit, Alexis can slot straight in with a view to being first choice there in the long run.

He’s an absolute joy to watch……

He really is isn’t he?!

His appreciation of space and quick feet are quite special.
