Coleman out

Oh, so what do you think about joe aliens defensive ability?

You told me on the other thread you trust them so formed the opinion based on that... Now you are backtracking a little..


I said it was the opinion of my friends who regularly watch the Jacks that the defensive sid of his game isnt his strongest. Not my opinion as I don't watch him in detail really. You are just twisting words like you do best. I also said that I base my opinion on seeing no reading a stat on the Internet

Yep so what's your opinion then? This is a thread for opinions after all. I assume you have seen him play considering he has played a number of times against us (and scored) not to mention for team gb and Wales...

My opinion is that he's a good premier league midfielder suited to a top 10 team. I have seen him play against us a few times. He scored against us at ninian park, Noticed jordi Gomez more though than him, was young back then though. Last time we played though, he got bullied by olafinjana and didn't have the best of games from what I remember. For Wales? He's done alright, keeps it simple that's all I can really say. What's your opinion of him?

I think he's our second best midfielder behind bale.

Keeps possession well and breaks up opponents play and has an excellent range of passing with a very high completion rate. Key to liverpools system and will be a big player for them for many many years to come. I've never seen him have a bad game, even the one you mentioned which was won by a Craig Bellamy piece of brilliance.

The game was won by pressing Swansea all over the pitch that game, they couldn't handle olifinjana that game at all, too physical for them. Could have been 2-0 when a bit of brilliance by your favourite player darcy Blake had hit the inside of the post and gone in. True though about bellamy, quality strike.

Agreed. Swansea were never in that game.

I don't think you could ever say Allen had a bad game though, they were just overrun.

How could he have had a good game if he allowed himself to be overrun?

Don't be so vague then.

It is a fact he is the third most successful defensive midfielder in ground battles (winning the ball back by challenges that are nin ariel) in the premier league behind Ramirez and cabaye.

Over what time frame?

Because he only came on as a late sub. I didn't say he had a good game I said he didn't have a bad game. Swansea midfield wa sovereign because we did our homework, lacked the midfield and had Ramsey as the free man.
