Joe Allen [Sold]

[Daniel 7]

Feared the worst when he gave his first pass straight to the opposition, but he made a difference in central mid.

Well done Joe.

Just seen Rodgers tell Shreeves that Allen's been struggling with his shoulder since October and will likely need surgery on it.

Premier League: Liverpool's Joe Allen set for shoulder surgery

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed Joe Allen is expected to undergo a shoulder operation in the next week.

The midfielder was named as a substitute for Sunday's game against Tottenham but before kick-off at Anfield it was revealed the £15million man has been carrying an injury for almost five months.

Allen, who has struggled to find top form since following Rodgers from Swansea City last summer, will now have surgery in an attempt to cure the long-standing problem.

Rodgers told Sky Sports: "We made a change today, because Joe Allen has been struggling from around about the end of October with his shoulder and that has got worse.

"He will probably need an operation in the next week or so."

Feared the worst when he gave his first pass straight to the opposition, but he made a difference in central mid.

Well done Joe.

Absolutely, we were really struggling to keep hold of it in the second half up to then, completely the right sub by Rodgers and Allen did really well.

[RedReet]

The irony here is if Rogers hadn't screwed up the substitutions there was a fair chance we would of gone through against Zenit.. He strikes me as a man who has stumbled across our best starting line up after many attemps of getting it wrong and now he just needs to figure out not to **** up the subs. Still maybe one he will get that right too.

Jammy cunt Rodgers.

[Fosterbloke]

So how has Rodgers changed our playing style compared to his original tiki taka style? I thought he wanted a lot of possession?

[DannyMan2006]

Came in at the right time today.

Question. He's been injured since October in his first season at a massive club.

Does that give us a reason for his sometime poor form?

[Neil Young]

So his form dropped off at about the same time as his arm.

[RedAndWhite]

So his form dropped off at about the same time as his arm.

[Shackanory]

Just seen he's out for three months.

[RedReet]

Link?

[Cormack74]

Apparently in the welsh squad for their next game?

[Reece]

He's out for three months from the moment he has the operation is what I read. And I didn't think we'd decided when that will be yet.

[Tee]

July 31st would be ideal.

[Mostar]

Apparently in the welsh squad for their next game?

Yep he was selected for Wales WC qualifiers against Croatia and Scotland.

[Frenchie]

so he will miss April, May and June..Should be ready for pre-season.
