I'm not entirely sure we know exactly how we want to play anymore; we were never going to play the Barca that was always exaggerated but its as if we're reacting to give us a counter attacking threat. On the other hand, we've needed pace and some big fuckers in the team for years so in a sense we're just getting what we should have had in the first place. As for Allen specifically, he was dropped more down to bad form, Henderson playing well and injuries.
