Ive been his biggest critic at times but tonight he was stunning.
Ive seen some ratings etc but today this was a 10.
Two stunning goals and he basically created the first as well.
Constant press, running the midfield.
A faultless display from a bloke who offers so much but frustrates.
If he could only show this consistent performance he would galvanize the team, he would lead by example and it showed to the other players.....

Played well, but I don’t think cupping his ears to the fans was any sort of example to be setting, especially from a player who’s been instrumental in the utter shambles of the last four years. He’s been fucking garbage for most of his time here, but to some extent he’s gotten away with it because he seems like a decent character - but tonight he acted like a total cunt with those antics.

AWOL until the booing and then the performance you describe.
Edit - not a 10 though. 8 is fair.

I couldnt care less what he did to the fans, fans shouldnt boo throughout the match IMHO -at the end yes if you want but not throughout.
If he performs like that i dont care
And for me this performance under the dire circumstances was a 10

Great tonight.
No need for ear cupping - he’d proved his point.

Considering out situation, past few games and the start of this match the turnaround and performance was nothing short of stunning. 8/10? Seriously? 2 goals, stunning goals and an assist (basically) - plus a brilliant performance. I`ve hated him at times, the keeping Bojan out of the side in the number 10 role etc but tonight he was stunning.

We beat a crap Luton side who gifted us all 3 goals. Which is great but no one was a 10 were they. And the turnaround was because of the fans having enough of the negative dross on the pitch. That first 35 minutes as bad a performance as we’ve put in for years. Allen played well from that moment but that’s just ott nonsense.

Based on the last four years, I would be surprised if there were any balls to cup. More likely to lose a hand in his massive gash.

They then decided to actually play a forward ball or two and press their hopeless back line and hey presto! They needed a kick up the arse and got it from the fans.

Absolute crap, i`ve seen the fans boo many many times and it has no impact, well sometimes a negative impact. The credit tonight goes to certain players for turning it around Allen was absent from the first section then was outstanding Edwards was poor at the start, his man was goalside etc then he was brilliant second half Cousins surprised us all Allen was a 10 all things considered - not a Messi 10 but considering our pleight the was stunning. Youre wrong for once lad.

Not that early into a game and not at 0-0. It’s no coincidence that we started to go forward and got a corner straight away after that and about 2 mins after the corner we scored.

The words Joe, Allen and stunning really don't roll off the tongue. The fact that he looked good against an utterley shite Luton side means nothing. Cupping his ears - wtf. How about pointing to the black armband and showing some grace and respect to the Afobe family? Stunning my arse

Totally justifiable in my opinion. But agree with SC4Life on consistency.

McClean also did this. Maybe it was a ‘let me hear you make some noise’? Odd that two players do it in one game otherwise.

The cupping of the ears just shows what a bunch of arrogant, overpaid and spoiled twats we have who masquerade as professional footballers.
Someone who has underachieved the best part of 2 years, uncharacteristically does something useful for change (i.e what they are paid to do) and then expects us all to grovel apologetically and feel shame that we ever had the audacity to doubt his supposed greatness.
