Joe Allen has received some pretty rough criticism from Liverpool fans following his miss against Everton on Saturday. Liverpool were leading 2-1 when Allen missed a sitter to make it 3-1. At that point, if Allen had scored, Liverpool may have just killed off the game.
Brendan Rodgers looked back at that moment and said n Liverpoolfc.com, “We’re disappointed as well because we were 2-1 up and should have gone to 3-1 – that would have allowed us to control the game much better.”
Liverpool fans took to Twitter and had a lot to day about that miss:

Seriously BR should eat humble pie by selling Joe Allen for a better midfielder in January. Nothing unique about him

Think blaming Joe Allen's miss today for the result is bordering on pathetic. He missed it, he didn't cause us to concede 3 goals.

Joe Allen is going to have to start delivering soon, he can't get away with the new boy/big club excuse forever

Beside the miss,Joe Allen actually did okay. Some interceptions here and there. But i still need to be convinced that he is good enough.

What are your thoughts about the Joe Allen miss?
BACK PASS allen must be SOLD,he’s SH*TE !!!
If Allen’s miss was pathetic, how do you rate, for instance, our marking for Everton’s first? At least as pathetic, but somehow no-one is blaming Gerrard or asks for him to be sold. Why do people have to measure players so differently?
Jst a bad day 4 hm, cnt judge it happenz in a game
Allen’s miss is making me have nightmares… Players like him make Suarez want ?? leave the club. Did you see suarez’s reaction? Allen’s not a class midfielder, he’s not a game changer, he has no major influence on events on the pitch, just an average passing midfielder that’s all.

Allen is the worst player i ‘ve ever seen n LFC shirt..,allen dnt hav any exprience, only how to play back-pass he knws…suarez reacted xo angry at d moment..i wish we sign mkhitaryan
Please please let’s give this lad a chance. I understand the miss was bad but it’s football. BR has picked him up for a reason. Henderson was having nightmares last season and he has progressed. Allen has had a difficult spell out injured and is trying to get back in and maybe trying too hard. Let’s give him a chance and trust in the management. It’s been a good season so far
and get behind the team. YNWA!
Why not we loan him out to gain few games. Maybe the pressure for playing a big club.
