There are two reasons hes improved and looked better. Badou is one. Ince out of the team is the other. I think you’re probably right. You seem to think I’m in love with Tom Ince, it’s really weird. Was just making a point about Allen.

And he’s been fucked off out of the way where him going missing won’t harm us as much. I thought he was fine today. Lots of harassing which was good. Going missing or covering or someone else? His performances here have always been better when he's only had to do 1 job. Going missing. He should be disciplined enough to focus on his job and his job only.

It’s his job to focus on everybody else’s jobs and I reckon he’s been a better player for it. Less the headless chicken and more trying to influence the patterns of play which, with his experience, he is probably better suited to than some kind of wannabe midfield dynamo.

Its Allen's best position behind the forwards. He can press and not have to worry about being so disciplined.

That’s what he would do. Weird isn't it, he'd do what you're suggesting yet was still picked consistently by every manager. Maybe they didn't see what you did or maybe he didn't play the role you're suggesting and had different instructions. His best performances at Stoke have been when he's had one job to do, that's when he's been most effective.

Played well today. Has to start scoring though, I thought we were in for a long afternoon when he missed.

Yeah the managers that were sacked for being useless and the current one we have now, who is worse. Allen is a liability and one of the worst signings we have made in a long time.
