Joe Allen

[Mamma Mia]

I love this kid already. Get Sahin next to him and we have the classiest midfield in the league.

 

[LadyRed]

I think I'm already in love with this guy. He really is the new Alonso.
I love how he is off the ball, always aware of where everyone else is, excellent movement too.

 

[Mamma Mia]

SCM first?

 

[Fabio]

Bet moron hates him

 

[BlitzAce]

What was Allen's pass statistics tonight? I think I saw one miss placed pass the whole game! Incredible.

 

[doctor_mac]

Yeah, he is a class act. I think BR is right. In a few years people would pay double what we have for him.

 

[Woland]

He was ace tonight, again. That was defo a foul though.

Haha yeah it was, and in a dangerous area probably a booking to! ahh well haha.

Ladies and Gentleman, I present to you the new star of Liverpool's midfield for years to come. Joseph Allen.

Uncomplicated, unfussy, gets the job done. Keeps it simple and stays away from the limelight. The Whelan comparisons are early and people don't remember that Whelan was very much an understated enforcer in our midfield.

But Joe Allen is a star. I'm really very impressed with him.

 

[mark1975]

He reminds me a little bit of Didi.

 

[Mamma Mia]

I expected his exceptional use of the ball and ability to control the tempo of a match.
What I didn't expect was how good he is at winning the ball back.

He really is class. Was it Ryan who called him a 'Rolls Royce of a footballer'? Pretty apt so far.

Oh, and fuck having time to settle in. He looks like he has been playing in this team for years.

 

[Sunny]

Has to be said - Ryan called this one spot on - the lads class.

Fixed that for you, lest it lead to crashing the site from ego overload.

 

[Mamma Mia]

I'm looking forward to seeing if Ryan is more impressed by Sahin's play or by his fashion sense.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

Some people are just born lucky. Not only is he ace at football and has the privilege to play for LFC, but he's welsh as well.

 

[Spionkop69]

but he's welsh as well.

There's always a kicker...

 

[gkmacca]

He's not really Welsh, he was just born there. It's like all those English people who were born in Calcutta.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Ssshhhh.

Just keep saying hadyen mullens or his head will explode.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

There is a good reason why all those english people moved to India in the first place.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

Ssshhhh.

Just keep saying hadyen mullens or his head will explode.

If you're looking for a more recent example, i give you....................Steve McClaren

That's taking being a comic feed to an extreme of generosity! Put your tin hat on!

 

[Jürgen4PM]

Lucky for me you're not a comic.

Ryan called it right in that he was good, but if I remember right he described him as being like Nasri or someone who plays in the hole rather than a proper CM. In fact he said- "he isn't a CM". And he is a proper CM.

So, much as I love to see Ryan's modesty rewarded with praise, I actually wonder how much he saw of Allen to describe him as a Nasri-like player rather than a central lynch-pin.

I do remember it right:

REALLY?
He seems way more Xabi than Didi to me.
Either way the lad's a genius.

He seems more like a Scholes without the shooting

 

[themn]

He seems more like a Scholes without the shooting

He seems more like a Borini without the cool stubble.

He looks more like Downing with talent.

 

[The Slugmonster]

He looks more like george harrison than I do

I actually think he has elements of both. If he keeps on the way he's going, he'll be a monster.
