Adam Lallana set for new role in Liverpool’s midfield

Jurgen Klopp has called on Adam Lallana to adapt his playing style if the midfielder is to extend his time at Liverpool, according to TeamTalk.

The 31-year-old has been plagued with injury over the last few months, playing a bit-part role in Liverpool’s 2018/19 season.

And Klopp is set to deploy the England man in a deeper role in the upcoming campaign, as evidenced so far in pre-season.

“Adam is the kind of player he can play that and he enjoys this ‘Jorginho’ role,” he said.

“I hope (former Chelsea boss) Maurizio Sarri doesn’t see the games or he will make an offer!

“It is about getting Adam rhythm, bringing him in early and doing things he is naturally good at: small spaces, passing the ball.

“And then from time-to-time offering the runs in behind as well and together with James Milner that is possible.

“For us it is another option.”

Klopp added: “He needs a bit of luck, like we all do in life.

“We have to come through without injuries, that would be cool, and then we have a couple of new players, I would say, this season.”
