Nice backhander! we don't say he lacks pace fullstop,we say he lacks enough pace for one of the big boys to come and get him,seriously think about it,what other reason is there that explains that none of the big boys have come in for him? he has no other weaknesses! just try and understand what i am saying instead of coming back and telling me i'm wrong.
Oh, you noticed..? Well I think the description lightning quick dismisses any lingering question of his pace being that slow, for a premiership club to pass him by, on that score, don't you..? Or how fast does a footballer need to be for a Premiership to come calling..? Faster than sound..? Faster than a Speeding Bullet More Powerful Than A Locomotive Able To Leap Tall Buildings At A Single Bound Adam Lallana..? No, actually it's Superman. Phew, for a minute I thought they were going to be interested in Lallana.
Pace is great if linked to a footballing brain, but useless without it. Lallana looks fast enough to me..has no trouble being in right place at right time. Think this is one of those rumours that gains credence with time until it's gospel.
