Against Bournemouth I couldn't help but think there was a desperate attempt for Lallana to play well. Since signing for us he has played out wide in the 4-3-3, pretty sure he has played in the middle of the attack in the 4-3-3, on the wing in midfield and he has played in the middle of the park and the one thing he has in common with every position he has played for us is that he has been utter crap in all of them. It's like we try him in all positions in the hope he will play well in one of them but all he does is a stupid little turn all the time and then gives it away.
I must need my eyes tested, cos I thought he played well against Bournemouth, and in plenty of games last season as well.
I think cos we were sh*t last season, a lot of fans blamed it on the summer signings ( when, as I've said before, the problem with that transfer window wasn't who we signed, but who we didnt - ie a goal scorer). Since Lallana was the most expensive signing, he was cast as the biggest flop ( well, except for maybe Lovren, who actually
was sh*t).
Either I've got a blind spot about him, or a hell of a lot of fans have, cos I dont recognise the player thats being described by most posters.
