Liverpool fans here in the Tavern are hoping that their side can secure the Champions League trophy, as they’re desperate for a repeat of the 2005 Istanbul final.

The Reds will be hoping that they can secure Champions League football for next season, as many of our local Liverpudlians have enjoyed every moment of their journey in the current campaign. Although, it hasn’t been all smiles for the Merseyside club, as players continue to let the side down with a few still stagnating behind the scenes.

So, Liverpool may be looking to get rid of some of their fringe players in the summer transfer window, as manager Jurgen Klopp will want to challenge for the Premier League title next season. Indeed, Adam Lallana is currently rated at £22.5 million (by Transfermarkt) but could be playing for his future from here on in until the end of the season, as injuries have halted his progress in the current campaign.

Therefore, here’s a look at TWO reasons as to why Liverpool should ruthlessly cut ties with Adam Lallana in the summer…

Injury troubles

Adam Lallana has struggled with injuries right the way through his footballing career, and now faces a scan on a hamstring injury he sustained against Crystal Palace.

Indeed, the Englishman looks like he could be sidelined for an extended period, and has only managed to make 13 appearances in the current campaign as injuries continue to make his life a living hell.

Therefore, Liverpool should look to cut ties with Adam Lallana in the summer months, as the injury-prone midfielder might never be able to complete a full season without spending some time out.

Fringe player

Adam Lallana has lost his way at Anfield in the current campaign as he spends most of his time on the substitutes’ bench, with transfer window signings and injuries having a negative effect on his footballing career.

Indeed, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah have all been superb so far this season, and all remain above Lallana in the pecking order as he faces an uphill task to even earn any minutes.

Therefore, the Reds should look to cut ties with the Englishman at the end of the season, as there’s no place for him in the current side with Jurgen Klopp possibly looking to bolster his attack in the summer.
