I'd rather Allen than Mikel.⚽ Mikel has been the better of the two. Disagree with that ,Mikel and Allen have both been dogshit since returning from injury .Allen cant pass to a teammate and Mikel looks like he's towing a barge. |

I'm happy with Allen and Thompson sitting if it means we get Powell playing as a no.10 I'm not, Allen doesn't sit, he's just not capable. Well he's no worse than Mikel at it, at least he can get about a bit more. |

Mikel has the stats to back it up and at least he can find a team mate unlike Allen, neither should start tbh but if its one or the other it's 100% Mikel for me. |

I don't mind it.
At least we've got Powell playing off Fletcher, and he's prepared to leave Mikel out
Baby steps

I'm not, Allen doesn't sit, he's just not capable. Well he's no worse than Mikel at it, at least he can get about a bit more. He his worse though, Mikel wins more of the ball and gives away less possession. Getting about more isn't good when you leave whacking great gaps in the middle for the oppo to walk through. Allen should be nowhere near this team. It should be Cousins, its not even a difficult decision. |

A good performance tonight should hopefully tell MON if it's not already gleamingly obvious that 4231 is the way forward.

Based on what we have to choose from, I’m happy with that. Allen gets forward and can score a goal, Thompson can provide a good set piece. Cousins good at what he does which is just defend. We need goals to win this game And we need cover for the back 4, which is what one of the midfield needs to be able to do, Allen hasn't looked like scoring since he came back. |

When you look at the players we have there’s not a great deal of faith in a win, but sam3 for most teams apart from Norwich and Watford - it’s team confidence that we need and unless we start nicking the odd win or even fluking a win it’s not coming this season - all set for a draw but fingers crossed a narrow win will do

Joe Allen and Jordan Thompson as the midfield 2. MON's two favourites. Has Allen ever been good in a midfield two?  |

Allen must have a "I play if Im fit" clause in his contract If true,Scholes wants fucking with a ragmans trumpet. |

How the fuck is Allen still in the team The longer it goes on, the more credibility has to be given to the theory that something in his contract says that he has to play if he's fit to do so. It is bordering on the ridiculous how he is seemingly undroppable. I don't disagree with any of those changes to be honest, apart from the fact that Allen keeps his place. Matondo not even on the bench is an interesting one as well. He was absolutely shite on Saturday, worse even than Clarke, but out of the squad completely is a bit of a damning indictment on the lad. I think its safe to assume we won't be taking up the option to sign him permanently. |

He was never going to drop all 3 midfielders and Allen might work better with who’s in there tonight than Clucas and Mikel. It shouldn’t be difficult to do that, but I’m looking for positives.

Brown and Mclean. That's enough for me now. Clueless who else do you play then Clarke on the right, Tymon on the Left. Anything other than those two. How the fuck can people be happy with starting Brown and Mclean? They have proved every game they have played not to be up to the standard. It's fucking shite football. |

We need goals to win this game LOL Allen score. Thatäs funny. When was the last time he scored? or hit the target? apart from a little flash in the pan season in which he bagged a few he has been poor. Anyway I have zero confidence in him scoring. |

I think its safe to assume we won't be taking up the option to sign him permanently. Matondo is injured aparently. Jones dropped Allen though so I'm not so sure about the contract thing, I think its just a series of managers seeing his name and assuming he isn't part of the problem. |

So none of the new players we brought in Jan make the team, you would have thought we could have brought in at least one player that could have an impact, I think Clarke in unfortunate to be dropped after 1 game in which he wasn’t great for brown who is constantly offers very little
