Bit in bold is as close to the most horrific comparison in football as possible!Theo is rubbish, well established fact of football. Lallana really isn't.
In fairness this season Lallana only got to play out on the left properly against Man United which is why he hasn't been the most talked about player in the universe since the season started.
The real point is his dribbling and skill are on the ball are amazing, he brings bags to the team in creating and facilitating attacking movements, the only real left down is sometimes his decision making between pass and shoot is sometimes a little off (wasting a few chances).
Sadly the highlights of Ipswich away last season are probably the best demonstration of how well he can read a football match, he plays a roll in the build up of the first 2 goals and scores the 4th and 5th, both are as a result of decent passes from the team and him making excellent runs. I do rate Pilkington at lot, when Norwich signed him I agreed with many people that he was the person to snap up out of L1, but Lallana is a better player (in my view) and really should be playing for England already because he solves a massive problem England have, which is the left side of midfield.
Next biggest crime is overlooking Holt and Lambert due to England's complete lack of strikers...
Doubt Roy would do that though...
