Bye Johnson

[liverpoolsno9]

Rarely have I detested a Liverpool player so much. Fuckin half hearted shithouse.

[Josef Svejk]

In terms of value for money, he's by far our worst player. Though he has ability, he's lazy, stupid, and unmotivated...

[AmerScouse]

what is going on with this lad?  He's looked woeful defensively.  I know its not his strength, but he's always been adequate.  Does a 30yr old England international suffer from loss of confidence?

 

I understand his forward forays are being curtailed by having Sterling in the side and playing more like a winger, but even when he does get the ball in attacking positions, the verve appears gone.

 

Is he done??

[Adebisi]

Not sure if it's money related or something not football-related effecting him, whatever it is, he needs dropping. Stick Ilori there if kelly can't be trusted not to break down. He's the fastest player Sporting have had or something, so even if he's not up to playing full-back, he'll at least make an effort to run up and down unlike Johnson. 

[redfromtubebar]

His legs have gone.

[stringvest]

so has his brain and his spirit. I'm fed up with it.  He should go on the sick.

[Bjornebye]

He fucked off ages ago 

[FrenchEyeGlass]

I think he's gone to shit but can't believe some of the stuff I've read on this forum about him. You hate him? You detest him? He's a cunt?

 

Absolutely vile. He's not playing shite on purpose.

Your point about Sterling is well made.

 

His style and ability are about going forwards , his lack of desire to perform a disciplined defensive role is plain for all to see.

 

As for his England berth, rarely has competition been so lacking.

 

I still think that he could do a job in a 352, but I doubt whther we will go that route.

[George Costanza]

Flanagan looks the only decent RB at the club at the moment.  I've defended Johnson in the past but he's been piss poor lately and his attitude has also been poor.  Kelly isn't good enough.  Both should be moved on either this month or in the summer.

[redfromtubebar]

I still have high hopes for McLaughlin who apparently was class on his debut for Barnsley yesterday.

 

Wisdom is having a stormer for Derby too.

 

Johnson will be gone at the end of the season. No club will touch him on those wages and recent performance level. I can see him going to MLS perhaps.

[magicrat]

He has been dire this season and its difficult you know why. Injuries have been a regular feature of his career and whether its loss of confidence, trying to protect himself who knows but for he own good he needs benching as soon as Flanagan is available.  

[Tony Moanero]

He needs kicking out of the club, the slapdash performing get.

[Boss]

He's gone, the cars still moving, but there is no driver at the wheel. It's a father ted milk float scenario, it's a brick on the accelerator, only there's no petrol left and the cars going to blow up if it goes below 10mph.

 

It's a shallow vacuous husk, like watching Danielle Lloyd rustling under the covers with some hirsute z list nobody on some forgotten episode of big brother. There is no soul there, only a shell, and not a shell suit either, because at least some permed shell suited monstrosity would run his fat arse off for us for 90 minutes, once a week....out of love.

 

Glen your vacant......Glen you hear me?......I'm standing behind you in the queue......the woman at the counters been asking you what you want for the last four minutes.......Glen you're in your dressing gown.......are you okay?.....Glen........(fades out)

[Anubis]

I think Johnson has been told that he'd have to take a fairly big pay cut to get a new contract. To be honest, if you tell an employee that they'll only continue to work for you if they take a pay hit, you're going to get a drop in performance.

agree mate, I think he just doesn't give a shit beacuse he knows he'll be fucked off in the Summer and replaced

[TheHowieLama]

He is a plank if that is it. (And he may well be a plank). 

 

It is one thing if you work for an accounting firm or a manufacturing co and you are told that.

 

He is on film every minute - which means he is auditioning for his next packet every fuckin week. At this stage, what Top 6 team would want Glen Johnson?

[Jairzinho]

Doubt he's arsed. Could easily retire off the contract we've given him, bet we end up paying him off as well.

 

West Ham player again next season.

[Kevin D]

Boswinga, Sagna, O`Shea, Neville, Brown, Arbeloa, Belletti, Pantsil, Corluka, Steinsson.

[TheHowieLama]

Groucho, Harpo, Zeppo, Chico, Gummo.

He has been outstanding for them. I was saying yesterday that we should end the loan and bring him back here.

I'm not sure about that.  I don't hate him, he's a football player for gods sake, but I want him shipped out as soon as practically possible.

[Captain]

It seems he's been playing while carrying injuries, according to Rodgers:

 

Our latest one is Glen Johnson. Glen has played a lot of the season having been injured and really put himself out for the team, but unfortunately he's struggled a lot with a number of injuries.

The timeline he'll be out will be indefinitely, really. We'll just need to assess that and see how quickly he comes through that.

 

He's had a real bad ankle for a period of time, and just one or two other issues that haven't allowed him to be 100 per cent.

I think everyone has seen over many years the speed, fluency and how good he's been, but for part of this season he's been restricted and that's obviously been difficult for him.

Luckily Flanagan seems to be fit again.

[fowler9]

Luckily Flanagan seems to be fit again.

 

need him to be left back til Enrique is back though, what the hell is going on with Kelly?

[etho]

So looks like Johnson's complete drop off in form was injury related. Makes sense now. Surely we have to bring back Wisdom now though, it's not like he isn't going to get the game time?
