Adam Lallana

“Every now and again, it doesn't hurt to utter some home truths as long as it is not personal, just purely professional.”

“It is something you can't quite explain unless you have experienced it. There is that difference when you pull on a Liverpool shirt.”

“The only thing you are guaranteed in football is disappointment.”

“I just want to contribute as much as possible.”

“I'm an ambitious person.”

“Getting to two finals is difficult in the same season.”

“Everton always seemed to be fighting relegation when I was supporting them.”

“People said when I was a young lad 'Oh he's got good feet.' He's good in small spaces and that's something I have always had since a young age.”

“Dad used to reminisce about the good old days when Everton won the old first division championship and the FA Cup back in the 1970s and 80s but they weren't quite so good when I started supporting them.”

“At any level I'm not built with complacency. I think you see that in the way I play. The people that manage me know that, my teammates know that. I'm not built like that.”

“The feeling Klopp gives to the players... you want to run for him.”

“I'm not one that sulks when he's injured. I use it as time to learn, to pick up on things.”

“I did not play my first full season until I was 21.”

“I just want to enjoy my football. That's when I am at my happiest.”

“You don't have to always win by scoring five or six.”

“We want to progress and ultimately win something. You can't do that with 11, 12 or 13 players, you need a squad.”

“We don't say anymore 'OK, we have a player who is unbelievably technically gifted, he will score us 20 goals but he doesn't have to work hard.' Everyone needs to put a shift in.”

“Throughout the course of the season everyone is going to have to contribute if you want to achieve something special.”

“Sometimes as a No. 8 you are making decoy runs, or you are offering and you don't get the ball.”

“I could have stayed at Southampton until I retired and finished my career there.”
