Weak, anonymous: Adam Jones slams 5/10 Everton dud who was dribbled past 3x vs Leicester

Liverpool Echo reporter Adam Jones has been left slamming the display of Allan as Everton drew 1-1 at home to Leicester City in the Premier League on Wednesday night.

It felt like a big point for the Merseyside club as Richarlison struck in injury time to make Goodison Park erupt, after Harvey Barnes had given the visitors an early lead.

Frank Lampard’s team dug their heels in, but while there were some shrewd performances on the night, some did not live up to expectations.

Writing in his latest piece for The Liverpool Echo, journalist Jones picked out a few players for criticism, but Allan in particular was slammed, as he was given just a 5/10 overall rating, the joint-lowest in the squad.

Jones claimed that the Brazilian was ‘not strong enough’ in possession, and was ‘often bypassed’ in the middle of the park.

It was a disappointing night for Allan, who was subbed off for Dele Alli before the hour mark, while the former Tottenham Hotspur man put the cross in that allowed Richarlison to stroke home.

Allan did indeed seem to let the game go by him, as he was dribbled past three times, more than any of his teammates, while he also lost out on six of his duels, and failed to record any clearances (SofaScore).

Offensively, he recorded no shots on goal, dribbles or key passes, and gave the ball away eight times in total (SofaScore), in what was a night to forget personally.
