[Albion] Lallana

[BRIGHT ON Q]

I bet Liverpool wouldn't mind him in their midfield ATM.
Fantastic footballer.

 

[scooter1]

He didn’t have the chance to think with his goal yesterday, add thinking and things go awry. Just go with natural instinct.
He’s our best player with his back to play, as his first touch is sublime. Control and turn on a sixpence

 

[Greg Bobkin]

That was brilliant but even more impressive HE GOT A SHOT ON TARGET AND SCORED!!!!!

I said that to the Bobkin Jnrs while watching MoTD. In all the excitement, I'd missed the fact that he did a goal!

 

[Machiavelli]

I’ve seen him getting coffee from Sugardough in Hove before, on the Kingsway presumably on the way to Lancing.

Oh, yes, that's an amazing place. Now I understand @Guinness Boy, and should have twigged given his discerning tastes.

 

[Springal]

Interesting. I did hear Webster & Lallana pretty much run the dressing room, do the fines etc

 

[Hugo Rune]

I think under Potter , he played a lot of games with Gross alongside him. It often didn't work because they were both looking to occupy the same space, and also although both willing, together they lacked the necessary pace to control the middle. Now with Moises, Mac and Lallana the midfield has power, pace and guile. A great combination.

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.

 

[Triggaaar]

The fact he was asked to take the team (with Crofts) before RDZ tells you enough about his leadership qualities.

I missed that bit - what was he asked to do?

 

[Questions]

When we have Moises, Mac and Lallana all on song there really can’t be many better midfields in the country.

 

[Swansman]

I missed that bit - what was he asked to do?

He was interim co-head coach along with Crofts.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

He was interim co-head coach along with Crofts.

No he wasn't.

Andrew Crofts was interim head coach and was assisted by Shannon Ruth, Nick Stanley, Adam Lallana and assistant goalkeeping coach Jack Stern.

The media tried to play it out that Lallana was in charge but that responsibility fell to Andrew Crofts. It was all in the statement on the club website when Potter left.

My bad.

When PB was interviewed around the RDZ appointment, it did sound like Lallana and Crofts were "in chrage of the training" though.

Indeed. I was keeping an eye on Lallana during the Chelsea game and he was all over the field in colleagues ears ' marshaling' the troops.

 

[Hamilton]

Lallana has been brilliant. He's a master organiser and leader. He's coaching and playing in every match. He has been so worth the money. And lovely watching his technique and vision.

 

[Swansman]

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.

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Go away

 

[Weststander]

A priceless addition to the squad.

The total professional for his team-mates to be around in the week, in games quietly looking for openings and always forward thinking.

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

 

[Albion Robster]

Brilliant and insightful interview this morning on the breakfast show on Talksport.

One comment, said RDZ blow his mind with his ideas when he came in. Quite asoundning considering the coaches Lallana has worked under.

 

[macky]

You're not alone I thought i heard the same thing
