Henderson V Allen: THE ULTIMATE POLL

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

There are probably Salif Diao videos with similar stuff.

 

To be fair, it's better.

I couldn't quite figure out why he posted that video, to be honest.

 

The video showed he could pass, tackle, shoot, has energy... he just needed to be more consistent, as he has been this season.

 

Come on then let's see an Allen video in his first season here - I need a laugh.

[Jairzinho]

Saying a midfielder has energy is like saying a keeper is a good shot stopper.

[xerxes]

They are different players.

 

Henderson is the harum scarum type, Allen the artisan, you cannot choose between them.

 

Neither are top four material.

[RobbieOR]

Allen will be miles better next season. I like them both.

 

Is the correct and sensible answer.

Allen is the artisan, but Henderson has more to his game than 'harum-scarum'.

 

Neither are top four material.

 

Don't agree at all.

It's not exactly hard, mate. You seem to dislike Allen (that 'could do with a laugh' line is weird, considering he plays for LFC). There are plenty of videos showing that he can 'pass, tackle, and has energy'. It should be mentioned that Henderson has played many, many more Premier League games than Allen. He's much more experienced.

 

This is six months old, so misses his goals and some good cameo appearances in a more attacking area. I didn't post it before for many of the same reasons you shouldn't have used that video.

My proposition is that neither will feature in a Liverpool side playing in the top four, nor will they be bought by a side playing in the top four.

I disagree.

I think Henderson is good enough for Spurs and Arsenal and is better than one or two of United's similar players also. Weren't Spurs in the hunt for him when we signed him? He's no worse a player than then,in fact I reckon he's better.

 

Allen might become that good but we need a real run of form for us to make a serious judgement of him.

The "could do with a laugh" comment, was about you posting a video which might change my opinion on him.

 

He's a decent player, he seems a good pro and comes across well in interviews. I don't hate him. I don't rate him particularly highly though.

[Wezza]

I've gone for Henderson, but I hope to see a lot more from both of them next season.

 

All I keep thinking with the polls though is "who is the best Lord".

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

My proposition is that neither will feature in a Liverpool side playing in the top four, nor will they be bought by a side playing in the top four.

 

I think Allen has more than enough talent to be a League and Champions League winner. Sounds fucking crazy now, I know, but in the right team he could grow into one hell of a player.

[Jairzinho]

I think both could play at a pretty high level in the league, but that is mainly because, as United have showed, you really don't need a particularly good central midfield to even win it.

 

Still not really sure where Henderson should be playing. Allen, eventually, will be the middle of the three.

[Christian]

I think Joe Allen is a better footballer than Henderson and probably (or more like hopefully) that'll be borne out over time.

[J-V]

I disagree.

I'm sure it was Utd. They were linked with him the year before we signed him as well.

You bet it does!

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I voted for Henderson, but that was before i saw Allen's beard. Impressive.

[Jhinge Machha]

allen started out well, had man of the match performance against arsenal early in the season. overall henderson has been much better this season without a doubt. we'll see whether allen can settle in next season. enrique had a very bad end to his first season as well.

[RedKnight]

That's a terrific beard from Allen. Didn't know he had it in him to pull that off.

[Paulie Dangerously]

The votes are in.

 

The people have spoken.

 

HENDERSON 101 84.87%

ALLEN 18 15.13%

[VladimirIlyich]

Not really a fair poll when Allen has missed half the season through injury.

[Phoenix]

Not really a fair poll when Allen has missed half the season through injury.

 

One has played 37 games, the other 43 games.

[Gym Beglin]

Why do we have to choose between them again?

 

Joe Allen is sensational.

Jordan Henderson is very good.

 

JOE ALLEN.

[Unrighteous]

Henderson. Love that kid. He's fucking talented, and his attitude is everything you can ask for.

[Guest LFD]

[VladimirIlyich]

One has played 37 games, the other 43 games.

 

And Henderson played 30 odd games last season so like I said,a bit unfair.
