Henderson (IMO) is a steady Eddie engine, Allen I believe is more livelier and willing amongst the build up in final third than Henderson (although Henderson is a better finisher)
There isn't much between them imo but I'd just give Allen the nod - on style. I'm looking for a spark from midfield and out of our 4 mids, (Gerrard, Hendo, Lucas & Allen) I think Allen's that little bit different from the rest.
i think hendo`s a better player mate, i think he`s more athletic than joe and more likely to get a goal. i havent been that impressed with lucas, gerrard and allen as a 3 in pre season tbh. not enough creativity. i think joe`s best footy was when he was in the side instead of lucas, maybe it`s worth trying that in a cup game or something.
The midfield three of Lucas, Gerrard and Allen last season was awful - that's why Allen was dropped , BR blamed it on his shoulder injury and that's why it's being tried again now. That is the three I think will start but I expect it to struggle and then BR really does have a dilemma in regards the "Welsh Xavi"
