      had 2,3 decent games and everyone said he's class we've missed him, but then after he plays a few gaems back to back the real talent.or lack of shines through just another average player that wouldnt get a game in any of the current top 4 teams. we need to try and aim higher and if it means we pay over the odds then so beit. better than paying over the odds for average players which has got us knowhere so far.

      Utter crap. Too big of a game for his fragile mentality. Was even worse than Henderson who was non existent. If Dr. Peters couldnt make Joe Allen a man, not a scared baby then nobody will. You bought a very soft character Brendan.

      Squad player at best who will have the odd good game but just not consistent at all.

      To make up for being as small and weak as Allen in centre midfield you need to be a technical wizard like Xavi.  Allen isn't, so he really has no reason to be starting so much for Liverpool. The manager can't keep making excuses for him after 3 years of primarily below par performances.

      Not the worst game he has had for us, just left on his own. Where the F**k was Hendo today?

      not blaming him as i think he puts in a shift but i think its time brendan realises he wouldnt start for any of the top 4 teams and shouldnt be starting for us. move him back to swansea which is his level for around 8mil

      This lad played outstanding today and a few points made me wonder why?

      FL said in the match thread "at least he's showing he wants it" or words to that effect.

      Si saying is Brendan gone already in the manager's thread, along with a few suggesting the dressing room may be already lost.

      Well Joe is probably the player closest to Brendan judging by all the talk before and since he signed, maybe he did have that extra motivation because it's sure fair to say he was one of the only players out there putting in a performance worthy of the shirt.

      Well played Joe, best you've played in a long, long time that.

      He was very much improved tonight Luke. I've always said I think he's a nice kid and a good player.

      Well done Joe - the jersey fitted you tonight.

      That last ditch tackle when Hull had a counter attack summed up his performance tonight.

      Definitely my MOTM.

      Glad for his plaudits but unfortunately they are too far and few between. Whether that's on him or his fitting into the ever rotating starting lineup who knows anymore.

      He suits playing against average teams. Against better teams he is exposed.

      At least he tried hard for his manager. Then again, if Rodgers is sacked Allen will likely be out the door. So he has good reason to fight for him.  ;D

      City's midfield don't like to run. So you must take that into account.

      They won the league so count as a 'better' team I'd guess.

      He was fantastic against them.

      Neither does ours when Gerrard plays.

      City have been poor this season and their midfield is often too lazy to run very much. He did have a good game that day, but over 3 seasons he has not played well against the top 4 sides.

      He's a squad player and will never be above that for a top side.

      he had one of his best games in a LFC shirt against Arsenal too

      not to mention he has never been a midfield anchor prior to signing for LFC, which is how he's played for us of late

      I don't have the same hope I used to of ever seeing Joe becoming an important player to the club but he's an adequate squad player capable of helping them club when called upon

      Agree mate.

      We need more than 11 players in any given season and I'm happy for Joe to be one of those extras and also happy to see him start now and again.

      hes another one of those players that we might see gone in the summer if we can get a top DM as his game time will be limited to cup and Europa games and sub games as i think Can will move forward next season
