The 27-year-old has been included in the Reds’ starting 11 for the first two games of the new manager’s reign, which ended in draws with both Tottenham Hotspur and Rubin Kazan.
As well as evidencing his trademark two-footedness and guile on the ball in those two appearances, Lallana has caught the eye with his adeptness for the high-pressing style Klopp is impressing upon his squad.
Lambert knows all about the playmaker’s qualities, having shared a dressing room with him at Southampton for five years prior to the pair joining Liverpool in the summer of 2014.
And the striker, who departed Anfield to join West Bromwich Albion in July, is not surprised to see his former teammate flourishing under the highly regarded Klopp.
“I think Adam will do really well under him,” he told LFCTV.
“I think he’ll give Adam a more important role within the team.
“Obviously it’s hard to become a regular in the Liverpool team because there are so many good players, especially in his position.

“Klopp will get the best out of him.”
