Afternoon eds and fellow reds. Just a question on your opinion of Adam Lallana. Seems to divide a lot of people on wether he's a key part of the squad or dead wood. I personally rate him highly. Fast, agile, good shot and also an Englishman. Seems to of flourished under Klopp with a few MOTM performances. Just wanted to know your views on him and wether any club are looking to try and take him away. Thanks for your time.

{Ed001's Note - he is neither to me. A good player but not a great one. One that is good but not indispensable.}

for a guy who cost £25m we deserve more from him than a few motm displays, I could count on one hand and have three fingers cut of the displays that stand out from him, does he take a game by the scruff of the neck or produce a bit of magic that wins us games on a regular basis? He talks a good game in the press but when it comes to action, 9 times out of 10 he comes up short.

Completely agree king kenny.

Lallana used to be great for southampton. I was annoyed we signed him because we didn't need him but i did like him at the time.

It is pretty obvious that the guy has a fantastic touch and technique, and can deliver the goods if he wants.

As a guy in his prime, blessed with such skill and experience, and costing 25 million, its a joke he cannot deliver.

He never takes the game by the scruff of the neck and i cannot remember a goal from him that didn't feel like an accident. Never have i seen him play a cutting pass like coutinho to set someone up, nor embarrass someone with skill so much they fall on their arse - in fact, i don't know if I've ever seen him take it past a player.

His only traits are that he sometimes works hard and is hard to get the ball off, he is tidy i will give him that. But tidy is only good when you are on top, not chasing a game.

If he was going to be top class he would have done it by now, and for his technique and performances for southampton, he really should be. Its an embarrassment to himself that he hasn't become an important player for us, especially in our times of need - he has it all but won't step up, its unforgivable. Just to make it even worse, he has the most stereotypical and distasteful media conduct of any modern day footballer - stop talking every 5 seconds to the press and do it on the pitch!

If LFC want a wideman, and there is ddefinitely interest in getting one, we need to make space for the player, and for me, Lallana gets the boot ahead of Milner.

I can't disagree with anything that has been written about Lalana but at the same time I can't help but think when he was at Southampton he often played on the left side of a front three and seemed to score more frequently as he cut in on his right foot. I'd just like to maybe see him given an opportunity in that position to see if it helps him improve but on the other hand we have Coutinho!

Llalana provides a valuable role in giving energy to defending from the front, and rarely loses the ball in a tight spot. He also adds a bit of trickery and skill that can be valuable in unlocking defences.

If only could learn to get his head up and pass earlier, and start scoring goals more regularly he'd be excellent, and I think that's something he's getter better at under Klopp.

I'd keep him over Milner as I think he's more dangerous going forward.
