This is Liverpool’s dream January midfield including this key target

Adam Lallana

It’s been clear from the opening 13 games of the season that Adam Lallana makes Liverpool tick.

The England international has been in superb form for club and country this season, and has netted three times for Liverpool and three times for his country in the opening months of the campaign.

However, it’s what he does for the Reds in the middle that makes him so important, as he is able to help out defensively when called upon, but also get up in support of the front line.

His work rate is phenomenal, and he has an excellent ability to unlock defences, something that was missing from them in their 0-0 draw away at Southampton last weekend.

Lallana is crucial to both Liverpool and England, and is turning into the top-quality player we all knew he could be at Southampton.
