5) Versatility
Brendan Rodgers likes to make sweeping tactical and formation changes during matches. He’s been know to play with wing-backs, with a diamond, or a more conventional 4-3-3.
Lallana can play on either wing, or centrally in a playmaker role, and it’s this ability to interchange positions which will make him an extremely helpful addition for the Reds. Coutinho, Raheem Sterling and Lazar Markovic all share the same traits, so it’s clear that this is an attribute Rodgers demands of his attacking midfielders.
