How Adam Lallana misused his chance to start for Liverpool

Liverpool midfielder, Adam Lallana has been away from the Reds squad for some time now and haven’t played for the club this season until his recent feature in the weekend.

Adam Lallana should have returned earlier this season but he sustained another injury during the first international break that led to a delay in his return.

However, almost 300 days since Adam Lallana last started for Liverpool, he was given a fresh start in the game against Huddersfield at the John Smith stadium on Saturday.

Klopp must have given Lallana a starting chance with the hope that he would have improved while he was on injury and would probably play the role of Alex Chamberlain, who is his currently injured.

However, Klopp must have been disappointed and dissatisfied by Adam Lallana’s performance – This is because the midfielder did not register a single shot or complete a single pass in the opposition box.

Apart from this, the former Southampton midfielder was unable to play a 90 minutes match as he was hauled off in the second half amid fears over another injury.

Klopp presently have only two midfielders in form and they are Gini Wijnaldum and James Milner, Jordan Henderson sustained an injury against Huddersfield while Naby Keita is also out injured, Fabinho is yet to start as Klopp believes he is not yet up to standard.
