Would love to hear Ed 1s and other peoples opinion on Lallana and how he's come into such good form! does Klopp deserve massive credit for it? I used to be so frustrated looking at him and now he has me at d edge of my seat.

{Ed001's Note - it is the style of play and the coaching. The style of play is about keeping the ball moving quickly, so he can no longer take 15 touches when one will do, like he did in the past. He also, due to the coaching, knows instinctively what run his team mate is going to make, so he can just play the ball into them, rather than having to look and think where to play it.}

I know you weren't a big fan but are you happy to have him in the team now? has he gone up in your estimation?

He is not tied to any fixed position especially the wide areas. The freedom to roam around and the offensive style of play gives him opportunity to bomb forward and license to roam around the 6 yard box. There was never a question on his abilities. Technically the best player Southampton had in decades. Improved his fitness level to another level under Klopp. If you go back to the same old possession footie he will collapse.

So it's the new system making him look good rather than the fact he's always been a good player who was playing in the wrong position? 🙄 The lad is just one of our best players and he's playing exactly the same only from deeper (ironically the position I wrongly thought he was bought to play in from day 1)

{Ed001's Note - what? You need to learn to read and understand what you read, rather than reading and adding crap from your own head into the mix. Everyone knows he was a good player, nothing that was said there suggested otherwise, but he was being used incorrectly for us, nothing to do with position, as he played the same position at Southampton and was excellent for them.}

Matt le tissier might disagree with you Harry mate.

Can`t believe I`m saying this BUT Harry`s description of Lallana is spot on.

He is now becoming the player we all knew he could be cos every man and his dog saw him play at the Saints and knew his talent and ability was undeniable. BR had no clue how to use him (nor Firmino or Can or Origi) . Klopp came in and knew immediately that Lallana was the ideal player for his pressing system both offensively and defensively and due to his improved instincts and fitness levels, he is flourishing.

IMO, he is the X factor in every game we play cos NO team in the PL can do what he does. He`s always two-footed, the most dangerous player on any football pitch, my father used to always say. Bravo, Adam!
