Joe Allen

[J-V]

To be fair to him he always found a red shirt with his passing yesterday....

[Andre Wisdom]

Henderson will be gone in the summer and rightly so. Hes had two years to prove himself and is fucking gash.

 

Allen deserves the obligatory second season to try and redeem himself.

You clearly haven't watched him this season then.

 

He has been one of our best players. The results show this when he is on the pitch.

[ngogswilly]

It took Henderson 12 months to get there.

 

Fucking chill out.

 

I think Henderson has come on leaps and bounds. But he still hasn't cemented a place in the team. Now maybe thats down to the personnel ahead of him in the pecking order more than anything else.

 

But he like Allen needs to show a lot more. Allen needs to find the form he was showing when he first arrived but he needs to surpass that to truly be part of a team that has hopes of breaking back into the top 4 next year.

 

I wouldn't get shot of either of them right now. Henderson has shown if given time improvements will come if the player has the right stuff.

 

Allen hopefully will too. But they both have to show a lot lot more.

[Guest LFD]

It is because the manager is picking his favourites like Allen, over him.

 

Henderson was a regular until the last two games, no surprise we didn't control either game as we haven't controlled many games this season when Henderson hasn't been in the midfield.

Have to agree with you on that. Henderson has improved quite a lot this season. He will still be sold as not one of his signings.

[mht1892]

That's exactly how I feel.

[cartman]

Hendo has been brilliant this season, he gives us more enthusiasm and energy in the game than Allen ever will do.

 

To start with Allen yesterday was a horrible decision. There is no doubt he is the managers favorite.

 

If he's injured, let him have the operation so he can be fit for the next season. And then let Suso and Jonjo have a go in the team.

[Nightcat]

15m, eh?

 

Why does he look so crap then? I can't remember Spearing being that bad and he didn't cost us 15m.

[piscinin]

Same reason Torres looks crap. Our system doesn't suit him, self-confidence undermined etc.

[Nightcat]

He shouldn't be starting. He shouldn't even be on the bench.

[RobbieOR]

Didnt take long for the spastics to come out after we lose for the first time in a while. Take a bow.

[VladimirIlyich]

Hes behind Lucas,Gerrard and Henderson at the moment so it would make sense to have his operation now.

He seriously needs some strength training to be a successful DM too.

[Code]

This talk about his shoulder is the lamest excuse I've seen in a long, long time.

[Bobby Hundreds]

I just don't get it. Henderson isn't a great player but whenever he's in the side as an extra midfielder we play far better as a team, why would you actively ignore that and fanny about. Why?

The one about his mrs having a kid was worse

Rodgers keeps treading in his own bullshit.

 

If you are going to pretend Allen's been crap because of an injury and not because you're using him incorrectly. Don't use him incorrectly right after you've pretended he's injured.

 

Doh! We're dumb, but not that dumb.

[clangers]

I just don't get it. Henderson isn't a great player but whenever he's in the side as an extra midfielder we play far better as a team, why would you actively ignore that and fanny about. Why?

 

Henderson wasn't purchased by Rodgers perhaps? Allen was and therefore he's determined to stick with 'his' player irrespective of the fact that Henderson is currently a much better footballer.

 

Just a sign of the manager being far too stubborn and putting his signings ahead of the interests of the team.

[Baltar]

He looked decent in his first few games but has been pretty woeful for a while now. No idea why he started ahead of Lucas or Henderson when you take into account the current form for all 3. That decision probably cost us the game.

[piscinin]

Two up top means two in midfield because more strikers = more goals = more wins. Or something like that . . .

I don't think it's quite as simple as that. He'd have played all the time if that was the case.

 

Reality is Allen showed far more playing for Swansea than Henderson ever has. He's trying to guide Allen back to that type of form while teaching him a new role. And failing miserably.

Yep, site is slewing with fucking belters, I genuinely can't be arsed with it anymore. Yeah we were shit, as we have been the last four times out of five we've lost there.

Henderson never played for Swansea

[xerxes]

Allen has showed that he can be a good player for us. We paid too much- but we invariably do. He was poor yesterday- but the list of poor performances was a long one.

 

He does not deserve to be the current whipping boy.

[piscinin]

Henderson never played for Swansea

 

You're wasted on here.
