Should Glen Johnson get a new contract?

[Pureblood]

Even if you blame him exclusively for their goal we still needed to score to have any hope of going through. 

[Paco]

Right after Lambert came on he, Johnson, had a throw in. Ricky was tapping his chest for the ball as he was unmarked, and Johnson threw it directly to a Chelsea player covering Balotelli, I think, on the touch line, starting a break down the right side. 

 

It's little things like that send me off.

I noticed that one too

[Boss]

balotellis man for the goal. sky showed it. balotelli was touch tight to him in the build up to the free kick being taken and then lost him.

 

Watch it again, Skrtel follows his man, Balotelli gets drawn forward to stop the run of Costa because Henderson loses him and Ivanovic and Zouma are both completely unmarked in the centre. Glen was meant to mark Zouma and just stands there when the free kick is taken, doesn't even bother to follow his marker, or any of their players. At least Balotelli tried to stop someone, as did Skrtel, Glen did absolutely nothing.

did you critique any of the rest of the teams performances or do you just have a file on Johnson?

No just a file on johnson. I even have one for how he operates in a store using his credit card.

 

If you read what I said a few pages back you'd know I didn't single him out for being responsible for the result. But what he did when he was on the pitch was just inexcusable for a pro footballer. And it's not the first time. It's been the same for a number of years. He's a league 1 level player at best.

[Carvalho Diablo]

At best.

He d probably get 30.goals a season in league 1 in fairness

[Tyler Durden]

Personally I'd like him fired out a cannon (at a wall) but us being clever sods will probably sign him up for another 4 years.

[mouse1989]

I can't stand the bloke but who's bright idea was it to bring him on and play him LCB? Ffs he's average at being a full back, never mind trying him at CB. It's these decisions that I'm more pissed off with the management than the players

[Megadrive Man]

Fuck him off and replace him with Andre Wisdom next season.

 

Job done.

[the chimp]

I'd hoped he'd be able to turn things round and find some form - it's in this thread - but that's simply not going to happen. He's a shadow of the player he used to be and I've no idea why or how he would warrant a new contract. Tonight was a reaffirmation of how poor he's become. Needs fucking off.

[RoboRiise]

What effect would that have on whether Johnson's performance was good enough?  It's not an either/or proposition, Christ knows we should be used to more than one of our players turning in a gash performance.

 

Seriously mate, if you don't think he did much wrong tonight I think I must have misunderstood the whole point of the game of football.  The reason that so many people point out myriad failings in his game over and over again isn't (in the main) because they've randomly decided he's the pinata that we both need and deserve, it's because they are there for all to see.

[RoboRiise]

Fuck him off and replace him with Andre Wisdom next season.

I'd be happy replacing him with Andre Marriner, Andre Previn, Peter Andre or indeed the crudely reanimated corpse of Andre the fucking Giant.

[Dr Nowt]

Was just about to suggest him becoming a human cannonball.

 

Not sure what this means, but probably bad news for you if we're thinking along similar lines.

 

Sorry.

[VladimirIlyich]

it's cute, but not a word is true in this post

Lallana is excellent and his non inclusion baffles me.

The fact our club once again grossly overpaid for him is not his fault. Isnt he one of our top scorers despite not playing anywhere near as much as he should?

[Chairman Meow]

or indeed the crudely reanimated corpse of Andre the fucking Giant.

 

Even just dumped on the pitch and not reanimated it would stop more crosses coming in than Johnson.

 

Should he get a new contract? No he should get a fucking slap and be sent on his way. 

 

I predict we won't renew his contract and then in a West Ham Carlton Cole style showing of gross incompetence will panic into giving him a contract at the last minute before the free transfer window slams shut.

15 goals in 160 games from full back isnt a bad return but we did pay 18 odd m and he was on over 100k a week. he became synonymous with our post alonso nose dive.

 

anyway hes off now.

[Grinch]

Thank fuck.  Over-rated shite from day one.  Selling a far better player to Madrid for peanuts jst added insult to injury.

[Jairzinho]

We're in May and we've already improved our squad for next season.

hes still.the best full back at the club

[scudger99]

hes still.the best full back at the club

A damning indictment in itself.

[alles ist gut]

hes still.the best full back at the club

 

He would be, if he were bothered enough, and that's why he needs to go.

[Jairzinho]

He hasn't been arsed for about two years. He's got far more talent than Flanagan, but he isn't a better player.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

It was strange how he made a better LB at times. It was like he was forced to concentrate on his positioning.

Nailed it I reckon.

Good riddance
