Kids at ice cream vans will forever now ask for an 'Allen 99, mister...'

Never been a fan and couldn't understand why we bought him: the Olympics showed up his deficiencies against (even slightly) better sides. The sooner BR wises up to his error and lets him leave for mid table mediocrity the better.

Credit where it's due he had a good game and kept us ticking over.

[Shaggy]

Further proof that if you give him a run of games he finds his form and rhythm. Really handy player to have around.

Yep, played very well, won the ball a lot, nearly scored, some lovely passing notably putting Hendo in for that Lallana chance in the first half. Involved in the equaliser too.

He's a good player.

[McDermotX]

Decent game from him today, when we had possession and pushed up the pitch, but he's no Lucas when we had to shield our final third. Kept the ball moving and picked out most passes well, bar a couple of times. Good game.

Was very good today and even expressed himself with a few moments of skill.

[RichC]

As Shaggy said with a run of games I think he'll show himself to be bloody useful in the squad.

[Exiled_red]

I think that he had a good game today, I think the issue is that he really doesn't play well with certain players, I think he worked well with Henderson today

Agree with that 100%

On the other hand, one performance doesn't make a player, just like one **** performance doesn't make a **** player. He was decent, but it wasn't a mind blowing performance - that's where he should be, that should be his minimum level.

He did well today, but that should be his baseline.

[DannyMan2006]

Good game, has to play like that every time he's picked to make a mark.

[Scratch]

Don't pair him with Gerrard and he suddenly looks a player. Keep it up Joe and yo might have a long future here.

Done well today the lad
