Jon Flanagan

[billypilgrimnz]

He's not good enough to be a regular starter in a team in the Champions League. He gets beaten a lot and is not all that great going forward. I'd keep him for depth as it is obvious he can fill in admirably, but he is nowhere near consistent enough to be the starter.

Consistency will come with experience I'm hoping. In certain games he's been fantastic, and whilst he's put in a couple of dodgy performances the positives outweigh the negatives for me. I think he'll be our 1st choice right back at the start of next season.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I'd be disappointed if he is first choice.

[Phoenix]

It will be interesting to see who gets to play in the right back position next season. Glenn Johnson looks to stay in his final season at the club. Then we have Andre Wisdom coming  back from Derby who has been getting rave reviews too.

 

Jon may end up out of the squad entirely with a new left coming in and Enrique reaching fitness.

He won't be first choice next season but he will offer very capable cover in both full back positions. Great player to have around.

Yeah. Utility player over the short term and then see how he develops over the longer term. Hopefully into the next Cafu.

Well, we don't seem to be going after a right back and I think Johnson's time is up. That leaves us Wisdom who has been pretty good in a derby side fighting for promotion to the premier league or Flanagan who has been pretty good in a Liverpool side fighting for the premier league title.

[Kevin D]

I literally can't tell whether Cafu realises that the 'Scouse Cafu' thing was people taking the piss.That picture is just one more jewel on the crown that was this brilliant season, even if we did fall short in the end.

It's all very surreal.

 

How the hell did he explain the trip to his wife?

[El Dangerous]

Who knows how well he'll progress next season. A year ago we'd have all said he's not even Premiership class. Cafu himself didn't get to Roma until he was 27, at worst he'll be our new Arbeloa.

Think you're jumping the gun on that one mate.

[Coro]

The same people writing off a 21 year old full back are also telling us Sahko will be the dogs bollocks.

 

Weird.

hope martin kelly is given a chance...

[Baltar]

Flanno will be a good backup player for us but we badly need to improve our options when it comes to full backs.

Weird.

Could be because Sakho is better. Weird, I know.

Sakho has been captaining one of the biggest sides in France for years, has played in the cl and for his country.

 

Flanno has played 6-8 months first team football for his club, there is a massive difference between the two.

Two and a bit years or something, wasn't it? I'm sure that's what I read.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Youth and U21 captain for France, too. No doubt he'll improve that leadership side when his status and language skills get better. I'd love to partner him with somebody who can sweep in behind. That way he can push forward into interceptions and still be covered.

Shame one of Agger or Sakho isn't right footed really.

That's the point, genius.

 

Neither player has had the time to prove themselves. Flanagan is a right back who has been playing left back and Sakho is still getting accustomed to the league yet one is being written off whilst the other is a dead cert to succeed. The bizzaros of internet fandom strike again.

[DanDanShaw]

He'd be happy to be around the team, you know he can come in at either RB or LB and do a job.  I'd be giving him a new contract, he's every managers dream player to have around the squad.  He won't complain when he's not starting, but when you do throw him in he'll run through a brick wall for you.

[VladimirIlyich]

Flanagan's attitude remind's me of young Carragher's attitude. Not in the same league regarding actual ability but there is plenty of time to improve that.

Flanagan is understudy material at the moment but we havent really got anybody for him to understudy yet.

[dennis tooth]

What are you on about Vlad, hes comfortably the best full back at the club and is much more cultured player than carra was.

[Bjornebye]

What are you on about Vlad, hes comfortably the best full back at the club and is much more cultured player than carra was.

 

Agreed. Flanno is fucking boss. Cafu is a cheeky cunt saying Flanno is the new Cafu. 

 

 

what happened with your court case? Did I miss the de-brief? 

[Brigant Moloch]

What are you on about Vlad, hes comfortably the best full back at the club

 

and that really speaks volumes about the state of our defense

[CardinalX]

He's not even as good as Babayaro.
