We are playing well, but I am thinking more and more that Lallana is a bit overrated, he's good, but defensively he is poor, he's a bit weak on the ball, has no confidence in his shooting and takes an age to pull the trigger. It may just be confidence but his passing has been really poor lately too.

 

I think his problem is between his ears because he certainly has the talent. He seems to have issues with concentration and confidence.

 

On the concentration front he does a lot of ball watching, so his mark often heads upfield without him and we end up with a two-on-one down that flank. Even when he gets back to defend he's too reactive because he doesn't see his man making a run inside.

 

On the confidence front he has the ability to take guys on and to shoot on sight - we've seen him do both very effectively - but he too often doubles back and the chance is gone.

 

But he's been like it for ages so I don't know who can get between those ears.
