How Lallana fared replacing Fabinho<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The last few years has been a difficult one for Adam Lallana who must have wondered about his long-term Liverpool future. Injuries robbed the English midfielder from holding down a regular spot in Jurgen Klopp&#8217;s matchday squad, but he&#8217;s back now, and to many people&#8217;s surprise began his first Premier League game of the season.<\/p>\n<p>His addition meant a place on the bench for Fabinho, who is one yellow card away from suspension. The Reds play Manchester City next weekend and it seems Klopp doesn&#8217;t want to go into that game without the Brazilian defensive midfielder. Lallana&#8217;s inclusion was like for like given he was used in the &#8216;number six&#8217; position during the pre-season preparations.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1113588\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/11\/02160721\/PA-48039445-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1585\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/11\/02160721\/PA-48039445-1.jpg 1585w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/11\/02160721\/PA-48039445-1-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/11\/02160721\/PA-48039445-1-768x496.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/11\/02160721\/PA-48039445-1-1024x662.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/11\/02160721\/PA-48039445-1-66x43.jpg 66w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1585px) 100vw, 1585px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Lallana, himself, revealed a month ago how he&#8217;d been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolfc.com\/news\/first-team\/364251-adam-lallana-on-no-6-role-watching-fabinho-and-the-future\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">studying his teammate<\/a> in case a day like this came. So, all eyes were on the former Saints captain and whether he filled in seamlessly. Playing in between Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum, but operating deeper, Lallana would touch the ball on no fewer than 102 times; only newly crowned centurion Trent Alexander-Arnold (114) and Henderson (104) eclipsed him in that regard. Lallana would subsequently complete 76 of his 86 attempted passes.<\/p>\n<p>Recycling possession is one facet of the role, but what about retaining it? Lallana, you could tell started nervously, would make five tackles and an interception before he was hauled off for Naby Keita with six minutes remaining. Chances are Fabinho would return next week even if Lallana put in a man-of-the-match performance, though.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1024px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-1113580-1\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/11\/03125019\/klopp-defends-mane-liverpool.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/11\/03125019\/klopp-defends-mane-liverpool.mp4\">https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/11\/03125019\/klopp-defends-mane-liverpool.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<h2><strong>2.
