The Joe Allen Appreciation Thread

I thought I'd make a thread dedicated to our very own Welsh Xavi!

How much did we pay for this lad, 15m? Bargain.

What a player we have on our hands here, and what a fantastic passer of the ball, the nearest thing to Alonso that we've had since he left.

 

Feel bad for the lad, he's joined a club with no strikers. Quality player.

 

Hope Joe does will for you,he's class..but you cant have our manager ok

 

Laudrup has started very well indeed

I think we all still have faith in Rodgers though, we've started with a tough run of games but it'll take time. We've all been encouraged by what we've seen so far

 

Do you want your old one back?

 

Very good player. He'll be sold to a big club soon.

 

Fantastic player. He and Sterling are the the silver lining. Shame the rest of the team are technically inept

 

Nah I think we've looked great, that was only our third PL match and the passign game is already shining through, I think all us Liverpool fans should be very encouraged with our style of football Patience is what's needed, and perhaps a striker It will all come good

 

I admire your optimism...

 

Scrub Herdershit from the list and I agree

 

Unfortunately we got a tough string of games to start of with, West Brom away and up against a previous coach. Then the defending Champions at home, and now Arsenal, and if I'm honest we haven't played bad in any of them games, we've done well.

We've been punished for silly mistakes, the woodwork is still playing a blinder against us and we're still without a goalscorer.

There's still 35 games to play, and our we're only 4 points behind our main top 4 rivals. Could be a lot worse, atleast our style is apparent and the vision is clear. We've got a solid base, the deadwood is cleared and even though we got no one in, atleast we didn't replace the bad players with bad players. Come January we'll strengthen and we'll only improve.

Plenty to be optimistic about mate

 

Sahin Lucas Allen would be guaranteed starters in my opinion.

 

We missed Lucas today. Team was a mess and we missed the glue that holds us together. That and a ****ing striker

 

I know we have been unlucky with costly mistakes so far and hitting the woodwork but whenever we go a goal down, we just seem to give up and accept the fact that we'll lose. Until we rectify this, then we're not going to do any better than last year.

 

I was watching the game, wondering if Allen ever misplaces a pass. His range is phenomenal.

 

True, I remember back under Rafa we were the 'comeback kings'. How I miss them days, it probably is just a state of mind, though, at sometime this has to change, hopefully sooner rather than later. When we went 2-0 down we actually created a few chances and probably should of at least grabbed a consolation goal. Ah well though, instead of ruing our mistakes we have to start learning from them, it's the only way to get over them.

 

Incredible passer, makes difficult balls easy for the receiver to get onto.

 

You must have binked. There was one I recall.

 

He does look a steal for 15 million, and he's welsh too, which immediately makes him better.

 

I've just seen the stats, it was something like 94% completion from 60+ passes. The only player with better % than him today was Arteta.
