Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana talks up the connection between himself, Roberto Firmino, Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane.

Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana has described his link-up with Roberto Firmino, Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane as "telepathic".

Lallana has enjoyed a fruitful start to the season, helping Liverpool to the top of the Premier League table while also being the league's top scorers.

Jurgen Klopp's front line has garnered plenty of plaudits in recent weeks, and Lallana talked up the connection that they have on the pitch.

"Whatever he has done different to me, I think he has done to everyone. At Liverpool, everyone speaks the language. It's cliched but football has its own language," he told reporters.

"For example, Roberto Firmino doesn't speak brilliant English – although it's better English than my Portuguese. But I feel like I've got that relationship with him on the pitch where you don't need to be speaking to each other. It's almost telepathic at times when you see Firmino, Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane linking up they are everywhere.

"That's not because they speak the same language or they speak English. Phil is very shy, his English is great. He doesn't speak it too often. We just know each other's games inside out. Practice does make perfect and when you know what's asked of you by your manager and when he demands it you do it. That's what you are seeing at the minute – the results of that hard work."

Lallana has scored three goals in 11 Premier League appearances this season - just one short of his total for the entire 2015-16 campaign.
