6. He Once Scored 23 Goals In A Season
Sean Dempsey/PA Archive/Press Association ImagesLallana's value to an attacking side was obvious last season as he formed a key part in Southampton's expansive, entertaining approach to play, and it's obvious that he has goals in his game, as he proved not least with some excellent goals - particularly against Norwich City - and a final haul of 10 goals in all competitions (improving on 3 the season before). But as an indication of his goal-scoring prowess, when Southampton were relegated to League One, Lallana chalked up a very impressive 23 goals as his side narrowly missed out on a play-off place (having been docked 10 points at the start of the season). It might have been an inferior league, with less pressures, but even in that context a midfielder scoring more than 20 goals is a thing to be marvelled at, and Liverpool will hope that he's brought his shooting boots with him to the North West as they look to add more goals from different areas of the team.
