Adam Lallana has claimed that England manager Sam Allardyce does not have a "specific" style of play.

On Sunday, the 61-year-old will take charge of his first game since replacing Roy Hodgson at the helm of the national side.

Hodgson stepped down from his role after the Three Lions were knocked out of the European Championships in the last-16 stage by Iceland in the summer.

Allardyce has a reputation of implementing long-ball tactics, but ahead of this weekend's World Cup qualifier against Slovakia, Lallana has claimed that his new manager is "adaptable".

"He spoke to us about wanting to win, which is quite simple really," PA quotes Lallana as saying. "We haven't gone into too much detail about specific styles. I don't think he has a specific style. He has mentioned how, depending where we are playing and who we are playing, that the style may change.

"It sounds like a sensible plan for me. He seems adaptable which is a good quality to have when you're a manager. Things have been quite straightforward for me and I have been very impressed with what I've seen.

"Since I've played for England I wouldn't say we have had a specific style. Things change in games and the manager has made it clear to us that he expects us to take responsibility, especially when we are out on the field. We have not had too many meetings and he's not wanted to throw loads of information at us straight away. Training has been very enjoyable and the lads are buzzing. He has been very relaxed towards us."

Lallana has 24 England caps to his name.
