Ready for what is undeniably the biggest football story of the weekend? Good. Then let us begin.
Observe:
And that’s *it*. Adam Lallana has a new hairdo. You’re absolutely welcome.
Returning to the Liverpool first team for the first time since damaging thigh muscles earlier in the year, the 29-year-old did so with longer locks than he’d had the last time he played for Jürgen Klopp’s side.
With many only clapping eyes on the England midfielders newly-coiffed head for the first time in their 4-0 victory at Bournemouth, it prompted quite the reaction on Twitter.
For some, it was an opportunity to assess how long one of Lallana’s teammates will be sticking around at Anfield.

Others interpreted it as a tribute to a forgotten hero…
It's good to see Lallana wear his hair in memory of Jesus Joe Allen

Joe Allen could pull off that hair, Adam Lallana cannot

Elsewhere, Chris expressed his disappointment that Lallana’s old hair was no more…

Another Chris, in preparation for the ‘wankness’ of Monday morning, described it as the only negative aspect of Sunday’s performance…
How much better are weekends when the reds win puts me in a well better mood before the wankness that is Monday morning. Only negative today is Lallana's hair

Whereas Tony was much more impressed with his new look…
Adam Lallana's hair is worth 2 goals.
0-6

Clearly, not everyone shared Tony’s view. Some saw it as a bookable offence…

Others, something out of the film adaptation of one of J. R. R. Tolkien’s most famous pieces of written work…
Adam lallana looks like something out of lord of the rings with that hair
— David Lowe 🌐 (@LoweyD1993) December 17, 2017
Some just saw it as a reason for Jürgen Klopp to limit Lallana’s minutes in Liverpool’s first team…

So there you have it: Adam Lallana’ new hair. A big deal.
