Adam Lallana is happy with his new role in Liverpool's midfield.

The No.20 featured for an hour of Wednesday evening's 3-1 win over Lyon at Stade de Geneve in the central position and impressed with his vision and work-rate.

“It's nice," he told Liverpoolfc.com. “I found myself playing there a few times this pre-season and I'm happy to play anywhere. I've enjoyed it, obviously getting on the ball.

“There are still aspects of the game I need to improve on and I'm sure I'll learn the more I play there. I'm delighted to get some more minutes and build my fitness.

“[The manager] has mentioned I can play there, that I've got the ability to play there. There's not been any formal chat but I'm happy playing there. I see a lot of the ball and I'm the type of player that wants to be on the ball; I feel I can get us moving, get us out of tight situations and bring a different aspect to Liverpool.

“As long as I can stay fit – and I've been working hard on my fitness – then I think I can bring quality to this Liverpool team."
