Of those that came in, Lallana could take a particular boost from one of his most notable contributions in a Liverpool shirt in what was his first appearance since going off injured on the opening weekend of the season.

Although the Northern Irishman remained cagey about just when Daniel Sturridge will return to action, he made no secret of his importance to the side and the kind of football that he wants the team to play. “I think that’s the biggest bit, the players must go there and believe that they can do that”.

The 18-year-old seemed to impress almost everyone connected with Liverpool in last night’s 1-1 draw with Bordeaux in the Europa League, and the Dane is confident that Rossiter can kick on from his display in France.
