Jurgen Klopp: How chat with this Liverpool star helped him against Middlesbrough
JURGEN KLOPP has revealed how his chat with Liverpool star Adam Lallana has paid dividends.
Adam Lallana's best Liverpool moments
Lallana hit a double as Liverpool put behind them their recent blip to thrash Middlesbrough 3-0 at the Riverside earlier this evening.
The England international even provided an assist as Liverpool climbed above Arsenal, who lost 2-1 to Everton last night, into second in the Premier League table.
Lallana has significantly improved his return in front of goal, with tonight's double taking him to six for the campaign.

And Klopp thinks his chat with Lallana exactly a year ago may have been a turning point for the player.
"Adam [Lallana] is improving even when he doesn't score, but it's nice he's in that situation," Klopp said.
"About a year ago I had sat him in the office and I was happy with him but he was like 'I'm not scoring'.
