Joe Allen [Sold]

[Alex]

He admitted it guys Everyone quote that!

[fah-q]

Had the surgery today which apparently went well.

Plus he's a breast implant too.

"Does anyone hear me complain about the breasts?"

Joe Allen's surgeon said that by the time of his operation, his shoulder could have been broken simply by pressing a thumb against it #LFC

[RichC]

what a wimp!

[Gibbo]

Hopefully we see him re-create his early season form when he is back. .

[BobTheCharmer]

A thumb through the shoulder? ****ing hell, this is when he should be at his most athlete best, he's ****ed in old age. Happen the Koreans will save him the pain.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Shows you how little he gets stuck in if its not broken when a thumb could break it. Coward! Can we terminate a contract now? Who'll bite?

[Arn]

You do wonder what the **** Rodgers was thinking when he played him against Southampton instead of a fully fit Henderson.

Allen should have had the operation months ago.

You also wonder what FSG must be thinking when the manager played an injured player instead of a fully fit one.

The above is one reason to why I believe that Rodgers isn't safe.

[RichC]

A lot of managers have played footballers when they're not fit, I agree with Allen not starting as Henderson is in better form anyway but the injured bit will be a non event.

Not when the player is so badly injured as Allen. Rodgers admitted many times the last months that Allen had this big problem.

I could have understood that he played him if we really needed him and not playing him would have weakened the team very much but that isn't the case.

I can't see Henderson staying. He must be pissed off and very very angry. Rodgers clearly don't trust him at all.

[RichC]

Suppose its like starting a player in the CL final with little game time in months and them breaking down 20 minutes into the game! managers make bad calls with regards injuries sometimes, it happens!

He shouldn't have started Allen IMO but he did, we lost the game, do I think it's going to a factor in his job security, nope and do I think Henderson will be off this summer, nope.

Its a squad game and Henderson has played a number of games this season and has come on leaps and bounds for us, IMO he'll see this season as a step forward for him.

It is also plain stupid telling everyone out there that Allen have a big shoulder problem before the games and then play him.

The opposition will then of course taget him and tackle him and try to make the injury worse.

I wouldn't say that it is a sackable offense but it is very close.

He played a weakend team and risked the health of the player.

[Phoenix07]

Allen will be like a new signing next season in terms of form and settling down in my opinion.

He's only demonstrated his Swansea form early on in the season for us. The rest of the time, he's been unrecognisable. The same goes with Borini too (except I'm not sure about his Roma days).

Everything is so extreme with you

His early form was actually very good for us, has a lot to prove though next season so needs to come back from the injuries and get a good pre-season in for us
