Playing in the ‘number 10’ position has really suited Joe Allen

4 goals scored, 17 chances created, 2 assists, 19 interceptions. What more can you ask from a player? Ever since making the switch from Liverpool to Stoke, Joe Allen has looked like a completely revitalised player and has arguably been Stoke’s best player this season.

Usually a deep lying midfielder, Mark Hughes has pushed Joe Allen to the number 10 position in his 4-2-3-1 formation and the move has paid rich rewards. With just 11 League games played, Allen has already matched his best goal and assists haul in a single Premier League season.
