How does being fit help you pass the ball 10 yards. His passing wasnt bad it was atrocious. He gives the ball away in bad positions every game. I m 62 and i cud go past him. Seen it all season. Sorry but i m not getting the hype. Hope i m wrong and its a first season adjustment but i doubt it. I tick boxes of attributes of new players. The first is always pace which he hasnt. If you aint got that your other boxes have to be high scoring like Gareth Barry s were. Allan is wanting in those as well.
 
We have huge problems every single time he gets ahead of the ball. Which probably says more about our other players rather than him tbh, but he has to be very disciplined if Gomes is playing.
 
I thought we were getting a genuine nr world class player for a song (similar to James). But he's just not that good. He''s a good player, but has had maybe one or two games where he has stood out, and quite a few where he's been a disappointment. I was genuinely shocked by his error on Saturday. A player who prides themselves on their defensive qualities does not get done like that. Poor concentration. And he should have been able to dominate on Saturday, he was playing Burnley for christ sake, and yet our midfield was completely prone for the whole game

And that's the main issue Macca, Gomes plays and we are in the deep brown stuff in midfield because there's a massive gaping Gomes hole that needs covering by either one or two other midfielders.
 
Looks totally unfit at the moment and very slow. Reminds of watching Peter Reid chasing Maradona in the 86 World cup, puffing out his backside!
 
Leave Allan alone he's the only one worthy of a starting place now Doucs out. I said at the start of the season his positioning was excellent, it has gone to poo because he is trying to cover 3 positions.

I actually like Allan, at the start of the season i thought he was excellent in that role but since his injury lay off he doesn't look quite right or fit enough. Hopefully he just needs a few more games to get his fitness back up to match speed and next season with a few more better player additions i think he will actually look even better ;)
