Joe Allen - Keep Or Sell

There's Been a fair few reds writing the lad off with words such as 'Sell him for free' and even 'worse than spearing'

So, do we sell, even though much of his anfield career has been tarnished with injury.

Or do we keep, remembering what he has shown us and what he showed tonight.

For me, it is keep. #WelshXavi

what did he show tonight? i barely even noticed him

a damn lot of tackles and his confidence grew as the game went on, did a pretty good job for a holding mid. And if it weren't for ruddy, an absolute screamer

He looked a lot closer to what he was at the beginning of last season. I'd like to see him get some more games.

yeah a few games..think he is better than lucas , but not the iniesta BR said he was.

I think it was Xavi, but yeah, not quite. I would like to see more of him though.

He's certainly not as much a physical presence as lucas, but he does screen the backline just as well and certainly offers more going forward. That being said, do we splash some cash on perhaps someone more accomplished such as m'villa, or do we let allen grow.

If a decent midfielder becomes available and we need to sell Allen to fund a move, I will have absolutely no complaints. In my opinion Allen has shown that he has it in him to be an important player for Liverpool but he has displayed that kind of ability so rarely that I've lost patience with him, and the same can sadly be said for a few others.

We shouldn't sell anybody in January, too light as is.

He did a much better job than Lucas. Very rarely did they get down the centre like teams seem to always be able to do when Lucas and Gerrard are playing. Norwich resorted to crosses because they could not get down the middle, because Allen has much better positional sense and pushed them out wide. He even allowed Gerrard to get forward much more and attack, if we can keep that up, it won't be long till Gerard's shots go in.
