[Albion] Lallana

[Dick Knights Mumm]

As @Questions said - what a time to be following the Albion. Watching players like Adam Lallana. I saw some of the Pompey cup match on Friday - it was poor - those definitely were not the days .........

Made me smile when they were talking about Liverpool and whether he(Adam) thinks they can still make top 4 and Adam says we're in the mix too albeit joking.

 

[Guinness Boy]

I was thinking some more about this today. Many of us, myself included, lost our shit over Vicente's cameo performances in a lower league. For me Lallana is way, way better. Not only his assist and goal on Saturday but there were two other occasions where his touch and control were literally world class.

A fantastic midfield combination as you point out. In terms of back-up, you can swap Groß for Lallana and Gilmour for Mac but we don’t really have that pace, power, all-action back up to Caicedo. I think we may need to do a bit of work in the transfer market in January or next summer. Mwepu might have been the man here but a like-for-like replacement for Biss is something I think we could do with.

Dont forget Moder.

They are 7 points outside of the top 4, with a game in hand, and only a third of the way through the season. Were the rest of the questions they asked him, as stupid as that one?

 

[Machiavelli]

I remember when Dunk and someone else (Webster I think?) was interviewed together, and that they said that Lallana was the "managers pet".

That's something you say behind his back if you don't completely respect him. The fact that they said it in a video interview kind of showed that it was completely accepted that he was close to the staff and a good leader.

It was Dunk and Maupay on, I think, a SSN programme oriented around a phrase like I Would/Not.

Asked him about the hostility towards Potter and whether the players are determined to finish above Chelsea! Obviously Adam replied it was pantomime and he knows it's still a bit raw with supporters.

was live on talksport shortly after 0930 but can't find it online

Up online now and really interesting interview. Seems to be enjoying De Zerbi on the training ground

 

[Questions]

Smashing that.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Smashing that.

Especially him saying at 3.27 that Potter had moved onto “bigger and better things”

 

[Hugo Rune]

Dont forget Moder.

I won’t but the Caicedo back-up I’ve got my eyes on has said his goodbyes to his teammates. It’s Valladolid or us apparently!

Well he’s moved on to ‘bigger’

 

[raymondo]

Piece from Lallana now on the Seagulls website . Says openly that the transition to De Zerbi's ideas hasn't been straight forward, but now it's working.
His goal and assist on Saturday were. Just.world.class. Such quick feet
Edit: just a summary of the talksport video now I've watched it.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Athletic article quoting Webster as saying that Lallana has upped the intensity of training sessions since he's been here.
He also said that some players, who are no longer with us, treated training as just another day, but now every day is like a match day.

I wonder who he is referring to?

He's the most technically gifted player since Vicente. A Rolls Royce of a player.

Biss and Maupay I reckon

Biss and Maupay I reckon

Yup, me too

My guess would be mainly players who left earlier than that. Maybe Pröpper (lost love for football), Connolly (bit lazy according to hmself), Ali J (judging from his comments he seems to think he is a godlike footballer) and Andone and Locadia who both seem not entirely serious about their football careers...

Maupay lazy... dunno. Strikes me as someone who'll shout every possible nasty thing in your ear if he loses in some football tennis rehab practice. As for Bissouma, think he was way to be good and improving way too much for someone not taking training seriously.

 

[Wozza]

Deserves its own thread really but...

Lallana has been blown away by De Zerbi's impact

Midfielder believes Albion can achieve 'something good this season'.

What a smashing read.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

We seriously missed him today. No one else can play the role that RDZ has him playing. Enciso was a big downgrade today unfortunately.
