Adam Lallana puts Liverpool's failed Premier League title defence down to injuries and lack of fans at Anfield... but Brighton midfielder insists his former team-mates cannot use it as an 'excuse' as he backs them to 'bounce back' next season

Adam Lallana believes Liverpool's struggles in the Premier League are a result of their injury crisis and the absence of fans but insisted his former team-mates cannot use it as an 'excuse'.

Lallana spent six years with the Reds and played a part in helping them clinch their first league title in 30 years before leaving to join Brighton in the summer.

Jurgen Klopp's side have struggled to match their achievements of last season with the club currently seventh in the table, 25 points behind leaders Manchester City.
