(Video) This Adam Lallana touch v Leicester is football porn!

Posted by

Adam Lallana put in a very Adam Lallana performance yesterday.

He was silky smooth on the ball, but probably retained it for too long and slowed down our attacks when we needed them injected with more thrust and risk.

He’s now only scored one goal in 27 matches which is nowhere near good enough for a player in his position.

Still, sometimes he does things which are beautiful even if his end product is lacking.

And this first touch from an Emre Can long ball provides a splendid example of exactly that.

Tracking the ball over his right shoulder, Lallana deftly kills it with the outside of his right and immediately has it under control.

It’s a reminder of how good at football professional footballers actually are, if that makes any sense. Imagine trying that in a park with your mate – it’d take 50 attempts – and that’s without a defender closing!

Too good!
