Grujic targets more Premier League minutes

Lallana produced another outstanding performance as Klopp’s men defeated Hull 5-1.

Goals from Adam Lallana, James Milner and Sadio Mane and a stunning Philippe Coutinho strike were enough to see off Mike Phelan’s side, who played for more than an hour at Anfield with depleted ranks after Ahmed Elmohamady was dismissed. If I ask my offensive midfield players, of which we have a lot, “What’s your favourite position?’ they all would say ’10”. “I will try to show my skills in training to get more minutes in the Premier League”.

Liverpool have scored 24 goals in eight games in all competitions, their highest tally since 1896 according to Squawka stats.

Due to expansion works at Anfield over the summer, Liverpool had to start the new Premier League season with three away games-they beat Arsenal, lost to Burnley and then drew with Tottenham Hotspur on the road.

“All games were hard with a few ups and not too many downs but we had them already”. “We are a good football side but we have to improve”. In terms of great Premier League attacking midfielders his name is rarely mentioned, but it probably should be. We have had good results to start the season.

Dejan Lovren, Joel Matip, Ragnar Klavan, Joe Gomez, Lucas and quite possibly Kevin Stewart are all ahead of the 26-year-old in the pecking order.

I don’t care, actually, who scores the goals – if there’s one player who scores 50, I have no problem with this as long as we win’.

And the Reds will look to continue their strong form when they travel to Swansea on Saturday (12.30pm) prior to the global break.

“We go there and play and we never thought too much about the quality of teams, only about how they want to play”.
