Simple question
Got to start for me. He'll make a difference against Leeds.
Can't wait to see him in Sky Blue but he shouldn't start tonight. He has to earn his place. I expect he will replace Torp (it's always Torp!) at some point.
It would be harsh on dropping Torp, Allen or Rudoni but I'd say his stats from x amount of seasons has earnt his place!
Can't argue, Wee. He's not missed a minute this season apart from Saturday. Harsh on anyone currently in midfield, but we could certainly do with him. He's a massive upgrade on our current midfielders, that's for sure.
ThisTorp is a starting player under Lampard all day. As good as Allen has been, when Grimes comes into the team, it is for him.
Does it send the right message? A place in the side should be earned and nobody deserves dropping at the moment. His time will come.
Rest is better than a change …… or umDoes it send the right message? A place in the side should be earned and nobody deserves dropping at the moment. His time will come.
3 games in 6 days this weekI’m torn between saying he should start and having him on the bench and bringing him on for half an hour or so. I incline to the latter option.
It would be tough to drop any of our midfielders at the moment but with a run of playing twice a week it would be sensible to rotate where we can.
As others have said it is a nice problem to have.
Maybe Lampard does see otherwise. Namely so many games in such a short timeNo player is bigger than the team! If Allen can go, Allen can start. No reason to change things until we see otherwise.
Eccles provided the assist for Haji's goal against Leeds at the CBS last season.Grimes in for Allen tonight, Allen back in vs Ipswich.
Have you noticed how no one mentions Eccles any more?
