Adam Lallana

Or Leicester in January as they begin to feel the affects of the stratosphere near the top end of the PL table. Perhaps we are still on the recovery table after reaching such dizzy heights early last season. It may well take until November before we see a real and significant lift in our play but it will come!

 

West brom would be a decent move for Lallana - as rickie is already there. I thought for a brief moment Brendan Rogers actually knew what he was doing by taking lallana and Lambert as they linked so well together. In the end they rarely appeared on the pitch at the same time which was the beginning of Brenda's downfall. It's been constant downhill since then with lovren taking the brunt of the blame.

Lallana and rickie would still work well together.

 

I see the lad has had a short back and sides around the chin tonight. Maybe Nivea has had a word in his "shell-like" .................................... were gonna have to rename him TwatCheeks for the time being !!!

 

Enjoying watching Liverpool being seriously troubled by Sion at Anfield.

 

.................... and the crowd were so pleased with themselves at the start

 

The nightmare continues for ex saints. Clyde concedes possession for their equaliser and is replaced at half time.

 

I remember Clyde Best. Scored a couple of goals against us.

 

I shall have to rename his Pro-Evo character.

 

I like Twatcheeks, but surely it has to be Niveacheeks? Has a certain American First Nation ring to it.

 

Too late mate. Already renamed and shorn of the skid lid strap. Now just has very long sideburns/boards.

 

Booed off the pitch by 40,000 Scousers...how do you feel about your move to a "Big Club" now Clyny?
Such a shame these lads just chase the big wages

 

Suns back page.

LALLANA SKIN

 

Now if the advertising "sellers" at The Sun or the marketing people at Nivea had anything about them, there would have been a Nivea advert right down the side of that back page. There's an opportunity missed.

 

Advertising skin creams is about all Lallana is good for these days

 

He played quite well last night. In what was basically a reserves team.

 

I skipped through a report on the Liverpool match. It mentioned Twatcheeks as a fringe player. Didn't realise he'd had a haircut as well.

 

i love saints as much as anyone.
Buts its embarrassing to read individuals laying into Lallana and Clyne on here.
I really hope Lallana turns it around at Liverpool - he is a quality player and deserves his shot at the big time.

 

I reckon Adam'll fare better under DeBoer, so his life should be getting better from next week.

 

I have difficulty blaming Clyne for anything. His contract was up, and tbf we do not pay our players that much. While he was here, he always played hard. He did not demand to leave.

If he truly wanted to go wherever (whether for the biggest payday or the club he liked best or wherever he would get playing time, etc.) the smart thing to do would have been to just play out his contract. I think he was willing to do this. Maybe he would have even re-signed, depending on how we did this season and what they offered.

But it was a risk Saints could not afford to take as we could have lost him for nothing. For his part, Clyne could have been injured. So Liverpool may not have been his first choice of clubs. But given the options he had to make a tough choice, as did Saints. And to me the decision probably ended up helping everyone.

Lallana was different because he WAS under an extended contract. He demanded to leave, specifically for Liverpool once he knew they were interested.

Anyway aside from whatever Saints-related grudges people might have I think Clyne and Lallana are both good players. The problem for them is 1) I don't think Rodgers knows what he is doing, and 2) Neither one of them are superstars. They are solid/average players for a Champions League side. Which means that due to random whim and/or spending sprees, their positions are not safe and they could be replaced at any time.

If it were me, I'd be happy enough with them. Clyne would start as IMO Liverpool has no one better (though that would be a spot where I'd strengthen if possible). Lallana has to duke it out with Coutinho and others but I wouldn't be throwing a fit if/when he plays as he's a solid role/rotation player at worst.

Lovren OTOH, has just been awful for them and they just need to get rid of him. Which pleases me very much.

 

Football is tribal. TB shat on the tribe when he married the ugly daughter of another tribe after being betrothed to one of our own Pygmy princesses. Clyne left on more reasonable grounds but he still left - so I am not going to support him at a team I can't stand. Sycophantic love of greedy sportspeople outside your club is, imo, more embarrassing.
