Re: Is Joe Allen available for Moldova...?

I don't think Allen would have made much of a difference against Austria.
Sabitzer, Alaba and especially Arnautovic were different class.

I think Allen would have made a massive difference first half

I said last night, we really missed him, not as much as we missed rambo in the euro semi, but still a massive loss to the team

The previous 5 games we drew with Allen in the team. The game yesterday with Allen not playing we won.
Missed, I don't think so.

You are incorrect. Allen missed the Georgia game which is our worst performance in this group. He was missed then and missed in the first half last night.

Because as you pointed out we were overrun in midfield and could easily have been out of the game by half time.

King hasn't been given enough credit imo. I thought he changed the game. But had Allen been fit he would've done that job first half, and he's better. So we did miss him..we won despite missing Allen. Might've been more comfortable with him..

Dave Edwards put in one hell of a shift yesterday, very overlooked by many fans. In a few months when we have more trouble everyone will huff and puff at the thought of Edwards coming in but for the last 7 or 8 games he has had to play, he has done well.

Yeah fair play, Alaba was unreal. Absolutely shat on Ramsey last night. Can honestly see why he's so highly rated now

Re: Is Joe Allen available for Moldova...?

Alaba fan the show in the first off but was much quieter once the imbalance in midfield was sorted out.

Exactly my thoughts, didn't really have a sniff in the last 30.

Re: Is Joe Allen available for Moldova...?

I thought Edwards played well but we were overrun in midfield first half and that was his position. Ramsey was at fault as much, but I thought King was the difference second half, and Allen is better than Edwards and king.

Shat on him? It was only him and Edwards in midfield against three of them watch the second half again and see the difference when it was 3 v 3

If Allen started with Edwards, we'd have been fine. Ramsey would have played ahead of them, preoccupying Baumgartlinger and the other two would have better contained Alaba and co.

I know he wanted to get everyone on the pitch but we have to play our best players in their best positions, and Ramsey has to play 10 or higher.

Re: Is Joe Allen available for Moldova...?

We are not germany or a different powerhouse that just ploughs through these teams.

We're favourites but take nothing for granted!.

On a different day austria would have scored 2/3 in the first half with the chances they had.

Really? Apart from the one clear cut chance Arnautovic put over, I can't remember another clear cut opportunity? They had a lot of the ball and dominated but like us, they were a little toothless.

There were multiple scrambles in the box. They had crosses that wizzed past our keeper a few times. But ye not many clear cut ones

I was scared of playing arnautovic but he is beyond hit and miss. One day ibrahimovic, the next absolute rubbish

If Coleen Rooney decides to divorce Wayne she will be entitled to half of everything! Meaning she would have more premier league medals than Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher combined.
