First choice right back

[mouse1989]

For the people that picked Johnson. Go back and watch the last few games of last season. Gutless

 

Can't wait for him to fuck off at the end of the season

[Russ Atmosphere]

You can have a choice of shit sandwich...

[billypilgrimnz]

None of them are really all that inspiring....

[Bjornebye]

Gerrard!

 

Not the worst idea in the world

 

billypilgrimnz - If you cant be inspired by Flanagan then their is no hope for you.

 

Look at him

 

Just fucking look at him 

 

[etho]

I actually think Johnson. Yes he has been shit for a long time. However, when he came on at the weekend, he brought an assurance that's been missing for a little while. If he's going to be motivated to play at that level, then may as well get the use out of him while he's here.

[Grinch]

Still can't believe we didn't sign a first choice right back in the summer.  And no I'm not having that a kid with less than ten first team games came in on loan to be first choice, no matter how well he's done.  

 

That lazy fuck Johnson will probably stroll back into the first team cause of the shambles of a summer window.

[magicrat]

I voted for Manquillo on the basis that he is young , strong and looks like a good player in the making, Johnson is way past his best and Flanno gives you bags of effort and commitment but not sure he has quite the potential as the new lad. Truth is if Johnson was playing well you could make a case for any of them.

[JermainePennant]

None are good enough at the moment, flanno and manquillo are not good enough in the final third and Johnson has been out of form for a while and is just back from injury.

 

Glen would be my choice to start out of the three and I think he will after the international break but I would be looking to get someone like clyne in.

[El Dangerous]

Is Rob Jones back from injury yet?

[Bjornebye]

Some right wankers on this thread. 

 

Flanagan is fine with Manquillo as back-up and Johnson robbing bog seats down the swan. 

 

Flanagan played a massive part in our unbeaten run last season and only when Johnson came back did we start fucking losing and dropping silly cunting points because of that pigeon chested lazy bastard. He cost us the title the fucking gimp. 

 

Flanagan almost won us the title which is more than can be said for anyone since Ian Rush so on that basis, Flanagan is our best player for the last 23 years so fuck you, fuck them and fuck anybody who has a problem with Mike Lowrey. 

[Paco]

johnson is still the best right back at the club

[sir roger]

We have left ourselves threadbare at right back.  I wouldn't think that any of them would get a start with City, Chelsea, Arsenal or Everton.

 

I like that a young Liverpool lad played well for us but Flanagan is pretty poor defensively & Manquillo seems to be hitting the wall at present. Johnson is probably the best bet at present which says it all.

[Bjornebye]

Two more for yewtree

[El Dangerous]

Fucking hell, so Flanno is poor defensively and not much going forward. Must be shit. He's not though, he fully deserves a chance at making RB his position. We nearly won the World Cup coz of him after all.

[moof]

Flanno is boss

[Mathewbet1]

Scouse Cafu all day baby

[Ronnie Whelan]

Flanno when he comes back. I like Manquillo but ideally not to be starting too many games this season. He has good potential though.

[JohnnyH]

I think it's probably Flanagan, but as is always the case in situations like this, he is being built up far too much. He's good. He could be very good. But he's still liable to giving away those woeful Lucas type dumb frees in dangerous places. Once a player gets past him he has an awful habit of grabbing out at them. But for a young lad he's also very good at reading the game. That's going to get better and when it does the daft frees should disappear.

 

I've said it before, but I think the negative view of Johnson is exaggerated. Similar to the people who say Balotelli is lazy after every game no matter what he does, I think Johnson gets blamed for for things that don't actually happen. He can be very good for 89 minutes but if he lets one guy get behind him then all of a sudden he was shite for the whole game and the reason we lost the 1977 FA Cup Final.

[Jairzinho]

Johnson's shitness isn't limited to just defensive lapses. Its the amount of times he loses the ball by either passing it to absolutely fucking no-one, or when he just runs straight into a defender. 

 

He lacks a bit of the explosive pace he used to have. He knows this, and it impacts his confidence in getting past opponents. It used to mask the fact he's quite a dim footballer. He'd just knock it past someone and run on to it, he can't do that any more, and therefore he's forced to make slightly more complicated decisions. Something he isn't very good at.

[Pureblood]

I think we will witness the Glen Johnson renaissance this season.  

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

None of the three are probably good enough at the moment.

 

Manquillo looks like he has more potential than Flanagan so my vote goes to him. I also think he's at least as good as Flanagan already. And if Flanagan makes me eat my words I'll be happy to. Absolutely love his attitude, and admire the way he fought his way from barely a fringe player into the first team last season.

[The Golden Eel]

Still can't believe we didn't sign a first choice right back in the summer. And no I'm not having that a kid with less than ten first team games came in on loan to be first choice, no matter how well he's done.

 

That lazy fuck Johnson will probably stroll back into the first team cause of the shambles of a summer window.

It's because Johnson is here for another season. Wouldn't be surprised if we get one next summer, unless the other two both come on a lot

[stringvest]

Never been massively convinced with Flanagan, although he's put some immense performances in at left back.  Manquillo, like anyone his age, needs resting - both for his physical and mental benefit.  Johnson, in theory, should walk back in.  He's experienced, still got pace, and has excellent technique.  We all know why this isn't a foregone conclusion though; he's been shoddy, lazy, lacking concentration, seemingly lacking in commitment and effort - overall pretty shit. 

 

Will he get his together this season?  Knowing there are one or two ready to come in and fuck you down the pecking order might be the chivvy up he needs.  I hope so.  

[ElishaScottBC]

I think we will witness the Glen Johnson renaissance this season.  

 

In your ratings maybe.

 

Do you have TK421 Copyright over Glen Johnson & renaissance in the same sentence? I think it's safe to say you were the first person ever to say that.

[Bjornebye]

No no no no no

No no no no no

No no no no no

 

This is why we are so shit. Carrying on with players who have proven they cant do it. Lucas and Johnson shouldn't be anywhere near the starting 11 unless we are desperate.

 

Fuck sake
