To be honest, not really wonder. All that story with his shoulder problem & surgery kinda ridiculous. I mean if the lad needs it so do it, but instead he's play football. Just don't understand it.
"thats just a cover up as to why he's been playing so s**ty....the sad thing is BR will never sell him and keep trying to force him into the squad when obviously he doesnt fit the mold. its a sad state to be as liverpool fan. YNWA"
"Shoulder injury can be a serious condition however LFC medical people happy for Allen to play with it and the decision made unfair either way because nobody is above LFC and anyhow why play Allen when Lucas, Henderson and why not Coady able to cover his role at Southampton?"
"Allen is good maybe for other team but not even close for LFC eleven or sub...not yet Allen,but the issue is that aint Allens fault it all came from BR eyes,he was so blind,when he pick him with LFC....Anfield forever..never..sad sad.And Allen have not that ability play 4-3-3...sorry again.The whole 4-3-3 destroy our loving team."
"just a bit bad, now Joe will have to undergo the surgery, make the rehab and think to come back for the next summer pre-season! Best of luck to him! YNWA Joe Allen"
"After surgery I hope Allen will move on but I doubt it because for that to happen only with a new manager which I think not possible next season unless LFC finish this season badly and without Europa League competition."
"That was good YNWA it is a like huge star you put on Allens head.I believe you,if he get bigger hunger stronger and mostly strenght with power balance and stamina without scary-panic...not in next summer...boys dont grow so fast...or it is the miracle what happen once in a lifetime...hope hope aint enough."
"If professional level players need luck to do their work with those kind of money what owners pay them.Looks like the problem is bigger than we even can see,dont say the two three years period and things are going better,looks like its going worst than ever at 40 years ive seen.Boys with coach TRY to play mans game.Swamp-ball half year and something maybe happens,hope its positive."
"I think Mr Rodgers has to take the heat for this team selection, the owners must look at him, he did have other players to select from, no respect from the players to the manager, no heart shown in this game, when they pull on the shirt and don't perform, use the younger players, like suso, asaidi, etc. give them all a chance as we will not finish 4th this year. Build for next year"
"He needs to have the op ASAP. If the shoulder is the reason for his performance, better to get it fixed asap, which also means we have a stronger starting XI."
"What a joke BR is for letting him play against Southampton. Why why why??? We could of been 6 points behind 3rd placed spurs with 8 games left. Did u play pepe no cos he had a calf problem, did u play Lucas no cos he had a little niggle. But u thought it would be ok to play a player that needs surgery and has been dire all season. First time this season I am doubting BR. YNWA"
"I am beginning to question Rodgers abilty to manage a big club like Liverpool. He might have done well at Swansea, but to me it looks like he is trying to re-invent the wheel. Nuri Sahin was a big mistake as he could only play in Gerrard's position. Allen is not Liverpool material. I think we need a new manager."
"I seriously doubt if Rodgers is the man to move us forward because after being out of all competitions for a trophy,any ambitious manager would have focused to get a respectable league finish,but our media-loving manager is still experimenting with the team after over 40games in-charge."
"Allen is not good enough to play for LFC. Proved it over the season he's hopeless - did well at swansea unfortunately he can't make it at LFC. He can't tackle, pass (almost every touch the ball is given away to opposition!) leave alone control the mid field! BR also needs to get with the program cause he had his side selection and tactics terribly wrong and NOT THE 1ST TIME THIS SEASON!"
"He had the same injury against Spurs and had a great game so i understand BR using him again.
He clearly has quality but like most the squad this season has lacked consistency.
Get fit, get strong and show us what you can do Joe. YNWA."
"Here's a statistic of our Premier League games this season.
Lucas starts: win%=56
Allen starts: win%=29
Both start: win%=43
Keep Allen as far away from the starting line-up as possible !"
"Rushjob hit the nail on the head. It is something I have recognised for a while. Certain fans so insenced with KD last year and more so how most fans supported him, that this year they will go out of their way to defend an even worse season and manager. We have huge expectations as LFC fans and it is hard to comprehend what is nothing more than a disaterous season by LFC standards. "
"There was no 'mess' that BR inherited. Most managers outside Top4 would swap their squads for ours anyday. Fergie took 7 years or whatver? Big deal. That was nearly 30 yrs ago, game has moved on and Manu didn't have expectations to match ours at that time. "
"Whilst BR was stiched up by the owners during the latter end of last summer, he still has had funds and most have been questionable. Listen, I am backing BR but won't give over the top praise and sound positive when I am not. Notice how I don't mention FSG, just don't wanna go there and said enough about those idiots "
"KennyDDynasty you did say the same thing about Lucas 4-5 years ago, then the brazilian won the POTS award and became one of our assets yet from a couple of campaigns, so let's wait to write sentences before Joe Allen can be drawn as a failure!"
"POOR PERFORMANCE FROM MOST OF THE PLAYERS..
THESE ARE GAME THAT YOU NED TO PICK UP POINTS....
POOR TEAMS PLAY POOR...
GOOD TEAMS ARE CONSISTANT....
GREAT TEAMS CONQUER ALL...."
"I think Luis Suarez deserves a better team and a better coach too. I love Liverpool and I always will. But we shouldn't deprive Suarez what he deserves. We simply aint good enough and the guy isn't getting any younger, he shouldn't have to wait till we get better, plus the level of consistency isn't worth waiting upon."
"Having read comments about BR and Sahin I agree with most of them and I conclude that BR is a mid table manager and Shahin should have played in his preferred position(Jurgen Klopp said so at BBC focus)and I feel LFC may stay behind the other teams for some time so BR continious his learning curve at the expense of poor results now and then."
"BR has lost respect of fans due to playing players he has bought who are out of form instead of players in form. This is exactly what cost King Kenny his job. Pick the best team and leave Suarez in the middle up front were he frightens the life out of our opponents. Let Sturridge drift around Luis."
