Liverpool 2-1 Everton: 5 things we learned

Adam Lallana is still rusty

Adam Lallana failed to shine in his first home start of the season.

In what was a bright Friday night for Liverpool, Adam Lallana was arguably one of their lesser performers, putting in a display that testified more to his post-injury rustiness than his true footballing capabilities.

The England international made his first home start of the campaign and a second successive start for Klopp's side, having returned from his long-term injury but struggled to make his mark on the game, failing to retain possession effectively and maintain a steady match pace.

Klopp's experience would have already helped him understand that he needs more time before returning to full match rhythm. Whether the supporters will be as patient is another story on its own as matches continue to come thick and fast for Liverpool.
