Do you know what, I’d start Wijnaldum, Henderson and Milner in the middle of the park if all fit
Steve Nicol on the Liverpool team against Bayern Munich
Nicol says he would also leave Fabinho out of the Liverpool midfield at the Allianz Arena.
“No [Lallana should not start],” Nicol said on ESPN FC.
“Do you know what, I’d start [Georginio] Wijnaldum, [Jordan] Henderson and [James] Milner in the middle of the park if all fit and healthy.”
Lallana has started just four Premier League games so far this season.

“I was surprised that Lallana started,” he added.
“He hasn’t looked as sharp and as quick and as strong as everybody else, particularly in the middle of the park.
