ADAM LALLANA is one of the driving forces behind Liverpool’s success this season, claims Ian Wright.
Adam Lallana's best Liverpool moments
The Reds sit top of the Premier League table after 11 matches and boast the highest number of goals scored, 30, four more than any other side.
Klopp has got his team playing with intensity by using his attacking players to run at their pponents when on the ball and chase it down quickly when out of possession.
While Roberto Firmino, Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane have worked wonders up front, Lallana has enjoyed success playing on the wing in midfield.
