It’s a surprisingly super Mailbox. Thoughts on Scotland, Raul, SkyNet, Lallana and the Euros

Judging by all of the press coverage of Jürgen Klopp, it looks like he literally will never walk alone.

We made this happen
The Transfer Blog was a thing of beauty. Only ever loosely linked to transfers of any kind, it took its readers and contributors through a myriad of random b*llshit that was truly remarkable to behold. Now, sadly, it is no more but the memories will last for generations to come, songs shall be sung and grandsons sat upon granddad’s knee in front of the fire will hear tell of the Great Daniel Snorey.
I was reminded of this once great institution by the article in which Adam Lallana says he is excited to work with Jürgen Klopp. The more procrastination inclined among you may be aware that the Transfer Blog ambitiously embarked on a Gossip Inception style project, trying to start a rumour that made so much sense, once the clubs and players involved heard about it they decided to act on it. The Chosen One was Adam Lallana to Dortmund.
To us mere mortals this attempt seems to have failed, but in some way, far beyond the comprehension of man and from the deepest reaches of the dark net, has the Transfer Blog insured that, by signing Lallana, Brendan Rodgers was fated to lose Suarez, Sterling, his confidence and ultimately his job; at the same time Jürgen grew tired of losing the Champions League Final, Mario Gotze, Robert Lewandowski all to Bayern; allowing Jürgen Klopp to replace him and be united with young Adam.
Of course this all could be coincidence, but I know if Liverpool bring back their canary yellow away kit in the near future, it will no longer be worth denying that free will is dead and that the Transfer Blog is SkyNet!

Worried for Lallana
It’s nice that Lallana is excited to work with his new boss. Best foot forward, meet the new day and all that.
Not sure Klopp will be particularly bothered about working with Lallana, though. Between Coutinho, Firmino, the criminally under-rated (by Rodgers) Teixeira, Ibe, and potentially Milner (because those promises of a central berth mean nothing now Rodgers is gone and we lack disciplined wide-men) there are many players who are either just clearly better footballers (Coutinho) or have attributes that Klopp has prized in the past at much higher levels than lallana does – like stamina, finishing, physicality, ability to pick or try a pass without touching the ball seventeen times then losing possession, or just being young, somewhat talented and relatively un-molded by other hands (all of the others). Klopp doesn’t have his hands tied by needing to prove Lallana a successful acquisition – Lallana’s arrival had nothing to do with Klopp so, unlike Rodgers, giving him chance after chance simply is not on or even anywhere near the big list of important stuff to do.

I suspect that unless he drastically improves very, very quickly Lallana will shortly find himself bottom of quite a long list at Liverpool, because I watched the England game on Friday, and although Lallana was trying his socks off, the only true positives I can recall from him were a couple of dainty little flicks. He was otherwise anonymous – I know your player ratings lauded his movement and those flicks, but this is a 27 year old attacking midfielder, supposedly in his dangerous prime. If he wants to nail down an attacking mid position for club or country, he needs to offer more than a couple of flicks and looking dangerous (whilst producing nothing of actual substance), because Ross Barkley did some ball-moving stuff and moved himself well AND shot on target AND beat defenders, and he’s only 21. So did Sterling, who is again much younger. Both are already more dangerous to an opponent’s goal at the top level than Lallana – and Barkley sometimes mixes up left and right and Sterling can’t shoot
