Adam Lallana enjoyed his first derby for Liverpool in yesterday's 1-1 draw with Everton.

The midfielder voted Man of the Match by supporters on Twitter.

"After every game I'm feeling more comfortable," he commented to Liverpoolfc.com. "I just want to keep working hard and I still feel I can improve even more, get better and put in better performances.

"I don't want to make excuses, but I did miss pre-season. It's a valuable part of getting the rustiness out. It's just going to be with game time now.

"Because of the injuries we've had, I've probably played a lot more than I would have done coming back from injury. But it has been great - that's what you need as a player.

"I felt great out there, fitness-wise, and it's just disappointing we couldn't get the three points."
