Is Joe Allen any good?

Create a couple of hybrids

Lovtelli

Plays in midfield as he's shîte anywhere else.

We have already had the spawn of Sergio Biscuits and Emre Can.

BISCAN.

Can hasn't exactly shined in midfield yet

How many games has he played in midfield?

Not many I'll tell you that and untill he's given a good run in the team in his favoured position we won't know but he's been very good even though he's been shunted round.

Remember Hendersons first 12 months when he was shoved out right.

I'm a big Can fan

I agree KLS

he's only played there a few times and it's way too early to tell

So no one can say Can should start ahead of Allen
And no one can say he shouldn't

It's unknown

There's nothing unknown about a player who after 3 years is still not good enough.

I think Allen really needed to kick on this season, I've defended him as I've seen the potential and some excellent games from him, however he has way too many average ones still and some games just pass him by. For me a central midfielder should always be in the thick of the action, Allen seems to disappear a lot.

Furthermore he's excellent at moving the ball in tight spaces when he's feeling confident, when he's not, he gets caught in possession, out muscled and beaten for pace.

I like him as a player, however he hasn't shown consistently how good he is. It is perhaps time to sell or to tell him he has a final season, there's only so much time you can say he has potential, the time has come to show it or even passed.

I like Can but lets be honest Can has been reckless at times with his tackling and he has to learn about positional awareness. Back to Allen when he has a run of games he plays well, feels confident and plays his game well. But has to be stronger with protecting the ball and a bit more creative. Hes a good squad player so hopefully we keep him.

I think we need to go out and buy a top class holding player in the summer so Hendo and Can can play ahead of them with freedom to get in the box.
