Once Joe is back id expect Powell to play off the front He shouldn’t get back in this side. If he trains well and regains his fitness he’ll be in the side |

Re Powell unless he is playing right up front he goes looking for the ball - not in itself a bad thing - with the result that some games he ends up too deep.
Looking for his team mates to be realise this and get on at him to get higher up the pitch.
Can say this for lots of players though at lots of clubs, too many won't say boo to a goose and leave things to the manager to sort out out at half time instead of dealing with things on the pitch.

Powell is the better #10. There’s not a better time to sell the useless git! Again him coming back in the side just messes the balance that 3 above should have if the manager actually used them correctly. |

Be interesting to see if he reverts back to a back four at home to Bristol City.
Would go with
Davies
Smith
Batth
Chester
Fox
Mikel
Clucas
Powell
Campbell
Fletcher
Brown

Lock down showed that we didn’t miss Allen in the slightest when he came in the side. Absolutely nowt changed. If anything there was more protection for the back 4. Allen should only really be considered instead of Clucas imo. And there’s just no benefit of that. |

It’s a very congested season. Joe Allen will surely be required but don’t think he warrants starting barring injuries.

Yeh well we aren’t going to sell him anytime soon after a long term injury I wouldn’t think. Not sure he would be playing DM anyway would he? Probably come in for whenever Clucas is injures/suspended. |

Just can’t see it. He’ll still be an important squad player this season, or at least I hope so. |

Just not starting every game and being his usual self. As it stands he wouldn’t be in our strongest side, but as I said a useful squad player for when Clucas is injured/suspended. I never said he should be in the starting eleven. |

Before lock down Allen was the best player in a system which was beginning to work and get results. I am no Allen supporter but after lock down it took three matches and a change of formation to get going again. I am sure that there will be a place in the team for Allen and I suspect one of the centre halves will make way with Powell pushing further forward or wider. |

I think we will to see what a post-injury Allen will look like. That's a serious injury, it will take some time to get back up to scratch. He's not 21 anymore either. |

What about the text under the photo of Rowett "Gary Rowett only lost eight of his 29 matches in charge of Stoke City from May 2018 to January 2019" might have only lost 8 but he didn't win many, hence his departure. BBC anti-Stoke bias strikes again!

You’ve got to fear that when Allen’s back it’ll be Powell that makes the sacrifice.

Personally I don't think it will be disastrous for the team if he doesn't manage to get back but I do have concerns that both Mikel and Powell will not stay fit all season and then the options look a bit dodgy if Allen isn't available. |

I keep saying it because for me it’s true and if you’d have listened to the manager he thought the same. Joe Allen will play a major part in our season(if here) whether you or Bayern think so or not |
