2021/22 Allan

[bilyaletdinov_]

categorically cannot play in a two man midfield, absolutely criminal of Benitez to persist with it

 

[PhilRegan]

Legs have gone

 

[Blueclouds]

He overrated would sell him in the summer

 

[dannyboy]

This position needs upgrading massively. He just hasn't got the legs to carry out his game. Another mental signing given his age and his style of play.

 

[TrixyStevens]

In this league, midfield role requires pace and controlling the football under pressure. This fella has neither of these talents.

 

[Egil Olsen]

I'd rather have Longstaff.

 

[Arteta2391]

Surely would destroy in the Serie B

not in the PL

 

[wainy]

Crab

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

The moment when we were building pressure at 2-1 and have a corner that was headed out and instead of putting it back in the box or passing out wide he just turned backwards and passed it to Pickford was laughably bad.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Worst player on the pitch arguably

Sell

 

[Toffeelover]

Needs to be released.

 

[sageyefc]

Moves like a glacier and we still keep playing him in a two, tactical genius Benitez though

 

[ah11984]

Have we checked his birth certificate…. are we sure he’s isn’t early 40s?

 

[Cels]

Allen showed some nice touches against Brighton but he needs to be in a midfield that can carry some of the load. The sooner we bring Ross Barkley in to help out, the better.

 

[f.t.r.s]

He's a tidy footballer with an eye for a pass,
Recycles the ball and wins it back pretty well...
The concern for me is just how often he gets caught on the ball
