Allen has always been crap, but if Hendo can regain his form of the second half of last season, then things could be much different.
I'm inclined to believe SAF when he said that Henderson isn't good enough for LFC.
Allen, Gerrard and Henderson all need shipping out.
He was good enough for Utd when they were after him wasn't he?
They weren't after him, they were monitoring his progress after he got his first cap for England. SAF famously said that he runs with his kness rather than his hips, which will damage his career later on. If they wanted him that badly they would have bought him.
I found this comment online from when Henderson was at Sunderland -
HE is good but not good enough for the big boys. He is a basic basic player with no creativeness, he isnt able to push forward from midfield and often breaks down counter attacks. He actually stalls sunderlands attacks if u ask me. I watched him play a lot of back passes when an intelligent twist or turn would have released someone in an attacking position.
3 years later and that describes Henderson's play.
One of the transfers/loans that didn't make sense to me, should've kept him, but if Allen and Hendo is always first choice, than maybe it's better for him to get games somewhere else.
Ibe is an attacking wide player so saying that central midfielders would be picked instead of him isn't a valid point.

True.
But then again, Allen & Hendo always play at the same time (or have done this season) + Gerrard.. then there's Lucas to consider and it doesn't leave many places open.
Hendo, Allen & Lucas in the team, plus Stevie to an extent leaves us pedestrian in midfield and blunt up front - on top of being blunt up front.
And that was Chelsea he was pulling all over the place there! We should recall him immediately.
Should never have been sent out in the first place - mind you had he stayed / gets recalled he'll no doubt spend half the time on the bench and or getting slaughtered on here for his lack of end product, à la. Sterling's first season.
