2021/22 Allan

[4737carlin]

Allan is not the main culprit today, the blame goes to his replacement.

I dunno, he forced the change though on Frank by having a horror show first half, like Newcastle and the Injuries I bet it wasnt in the game plan to change early

 

[EGWToffee]

When he went off we fell apart. Ward Prowse on another level to any of our midfielders

He's a bit crap if we're being honest with ourselves.

I mean weren’t they battering us in the first half?

 

[Carlito]

Towing a caravan again today.

He's a liability at times.

He would be ok with mobility around him the fact we only have ONE midfielder with mobility and that's Doucoure and he's out

In terms of value for money, we must have one of the worst selections of centre midfielders in the league, if not the worst. Even the ones that aren't terrible are terribly inconsistent.

I had to go and check how much Romeu cost after the game. £5m. I can't get over it.

Terrible recruitment the club haven't got it into their head what's required in midfielders in the EPL, mobility and dynamism are above any skill.

He’s very slow him but absolute quality on the ball. Would walk into our team. (Literally)

Not really. We at least had a platform to attack from, so offered a threat.

You don't rate Allan at all, I get it. On performances like today, I get where you're coming from.

But Lampard should have trusted him. We basically surrendered the midfield as soon as he went off. Not because Allan was playing well - he wasn't - but because of the absolute turd we had in reserve.

Lampard didn't need to make the change. He made a mistake.

He's probably quicker than all of our CMs tbh

 

[AussieToffee11]

He is not a bad player, but he had a bad game.

And he showed again that he is absolutely crucial.

Him, VDB and Doucoure gives us a completely different look.

How is he crucial? He’s been in the team all season and look at us.

Doesn’t say a lot tbh
