Why Liverpool should have loaned-out Joe Allen



Why Liverpool should have loaned-out Joe Allen Joe Allen Joe Allen provides back-up to Liverpool’s first-team, albeit in a rather theoretical way - he may well be a reserve midfielder, but he’s not really capable of replacing any of the players currently in Brendan Rodgers’ first-choice side. Allen gets a lot of abuse, and maybe understandably so given his transfer [...]

Joe Allen discussing his Liverpool future - and thoughts on what that might hold



Joe Allen discussing his Liverpool future – and thoughts on what that might hold While not dreadful, last season definitely wasn’t what Joe Allen had hoped that it would be: injuries, a hefty transfer-fee that he was always going to struggle to live up to, and the added pressure of playing for a club of Liverpool’s size all conspired to make 2012/13 a year to forget. Ahead of the new season, and now fully-fit [...]

What is Joe Allen’s future at Liverpool?



Joe Allen’s a good player; he’s very neat and tidy, he’s an accurate and reliable passer of the ball, and he’s capable of setting a temperament within a game.

Liverpool won’t miss Lucas Leiva too much



Liverpool won’t miss Lucas Leiva too much The Premier League Owl The news that Lucas Leiva faces another three months out with a thigh injury is desperate, but more for the player than the team as a whole. Of course, it’s horrible luck for the Brazilian, but his absence won’t leave the side as short as it did last year. Nuri Sahin and Joe Allen aren’t Jay Spearing [...]

Liverpool vs Manchester City: Thoughts from Anfield



Liverpool vs Manchester City: Thoughts from Anfield The Premier League Owl A bittersweet day for Liverpool: so many positives to take from the performance, yet denied the three points they so obviously deserved. The important thing from the home perspective, was that this wasn’t a performance borne purely out of effort and desire, but that it had a structure to it and an obvious purpos [...]

Notes from the weekend: Liverpool



Notes from the weekend: Liverpool The Premier League Owl The press went to town over the defeat to West Brom, but it’s safe to ignore that - vast sections of the media still enjoy seeing Liverpool fail, and so naturally get over-excited when they do.
