He's crap but people will excuse him for recently being injured so if thats the case why is he being put straight back into the side if he's not ready?

Dropping cousins has been the problem

Today we were well beaten by a vastly superior side. You can’t blame Allen for our long term inability to create anything or score from open play.

He was the only shining light for 45 minutes I thought it was Clucas's deliveries tbh, untill he messed it up trying to emulate Thompson on a corner, did the defender not know he was meant to duck out of the way  |

Joe Allen was invisible today, very disappointing since his return

Allen was ok. Gave us energy and always looking to go forward. It’s not his fault if he’s surrounded by players who can’t trap a bag of cement.

Just think he’s a better footballer than many on here make him out to be. Mikel is the problem with our midfield. |

He was the only shining light for 45 minutes I think I can remember that, was it when we equalised against United away ? |

Poor today but thought he was decent v Bournemouth.
Still think he’s better than Mikel and Clucas.

I think they both are tbh, but people are expecting Mikel to be the all singing get stuck in DM we need and he's never really been that, next to one I think he'd do a lot better. |

At this time, midfield 3 should be Cousins Allen and Powell. With Clucas at left back in a flat 4

Maybe in the minority but thought he was the pick of our very average midfield.

My idea is he’d do the buzzing around so that Cousins can concentrate on what he does best, and that Powell can be further forward without having to track back as much. Preferred over Mikel for me at the moment, Thompson is getting there slowly now though! |

We’ve been shite all season. Sometimes we kept clean sheets but that’s glossed over every other ineptitude.
Hopefully we stay up.
Our game plan consists of defending. That’s it.

What is the point of a Allen ? Why did we purchase one, What does it do, where does it play, what do we expect of it, could we sell it ? The enigma that is a Allen

Totally bottled a tackle for the third. Shocking. Not sure that is fair. Looked like a tired player that simply couldn't get to the pitch of the ball. Their player took the ball on the move, having the momentum to go past him like he wasn't there...a bit like McLean should have done 10 minutes earlier. Allen, like Ryan, did well until the 2nd goal knocked the energy out of him (and others). |

Preferred over Mikel for me at the moment, Thompson is getting there slowly now though! I think Allen would make Cousins job much harder, he's been playing well before he was bizarly dropped but he'd have zero help if Allen was playing along side him constately out of position letting the oppo glide past him, when at our best with Whelan and N'Zonzi the latter still helped out. I don't think Thompson is any different than he was when we first signed him, he offers nothing bar a decenct cross from set plays now and then and Clucas showed today he can do that. |
