In the second half he tried a bit of a hallywood ball that lead to a Brazil counter-attack that nearly resulted in a goal, but he was generally tidy, and you have to remember it was a freindly and they are not up to full levels of fitness yet. Just saw little glimpses of the type of player he is.
Didn't look world class doing his tricks for the cameras against decent enough European defenders, did he? Seems like his best attribute is his speed, frightening acceleration. Allen gets a good tackle in on him though, nice shielding of the ball.
I'd absolutely love him at Liverpool! This lad is going to be a star and whoever gets him (it won't be us) will have a gem on their hands (mind, it'll cost them too. Santos want £50m+ for him
Yeah, I watched some of it too and thought similar. He seemed to be very involved and have plenty of energy (especially considering they were chasing Brazilian shadows most of the time). I have nothing against the player but I do have concerns about the position, we have too many centre midfielders as it is.
To be honest I think you are going for the wrong player, our midfield goes through another player, Allen is important but another is even more so, we got promoted when he came back, everything that is good for us has him at the centre. Still you guys know best
Neither of you guys like Suarez then...? Afterall, he roles around as much as anyone! I guarantee that if we were to sign Neymar you would be jumping for the stars!
Well I would excited if he signed, but the rolling around yesterday was pathetic. I feel enough shame to see Suarez do it, but hopefully he'll stop. Neymar has stupid hair.
My only doubt here is, is Allen actually any better at the job than Henderson... I suppose having both for rotation is good, but not for £20million. Shelveys on the brink of his break through to. Though he may be better backing up Gerrard.
