Glen Johnson....

[old skool tom]

i said (and was mocked!) at the start of the season that he should play right midfield away from home in front of kelly/carra so we can use the entire 18m we spent on him instead of just half if it at anfield.he's 10 times the player going forward that kuyt is and i'd even consider playing him RM at home sometimes as well.

 

but the chances of rafa having more than 2 creative players in midfield are probably as likely as as seeing us win the league under him!

[Trumo]

I though he was excellent tonight. You could say he was caught napping a little at the free kick. His backwards momentum ended up keeping Birmingham onside, but that wasn't down to his own flawed positioning. It's just ridiculous and frustrating how often our opponents can play a set-piece into our box and have it land exactly when they want it. Especially when those opponents have done the sum total of fuck-all prior to this.

[t1971]

He was brilliant tonight

[Xherdan]

Here's a revolutionary idea: Play Johnson at RM.

[John101]

Was brilliant tonight and a constant threat.

 

Contrast that with Riera who i thought seemed to choose the wrong option everytime, and has one trick of cutting inside every time.

[Kevin D]

Proper Liverpool player. He played so well that I'm not even going to ask what the fuck that thing on his left hand was. He's one of the very few FBs I've ever seen who bully the opposition; Ridgewell got absolutely bummed.

 

Birmingham 1st goal.

 

 

Thats the goal. The header did come back across from his side, but it should also have been cleared in the centre.

 

 

Given his overall contribution to the match blaming him for us dropping two points is total nonsense.

 

To be fair to Nick, you may see things differently if you were insane.

[Liquid football]

He's ace.

 

Can't wait til the christmas fancy dress this year to see what he wears.

Reading the first page of this thread makes me laugh. It's up there with Cain's Torres posts.

Class today

 

Also, am I the only one?

[sh#t waffle]

I think you need to stop listening to the voices in your head.

 

Would you confess that he's a better player than you gave him credit for up till now? It's not important, and I don't really care, but I just wondered.

[Magic Sponge]

This tag made me laugh:

 

" glen fucking benayoun "

[BexBissel]

Poker wise. £18 million on a right back. Who when he played against us at Anfield. Got ripped to shreds. And was subbed at half time I think. He's fucking brilliant (imo)

No no no no fuck off.

 

I'm one of those people who is influenced by the smallest and most meaningless thing, Code72's opinion for example. (Where's that list gone?)

 

But once the connection is made between Johnson and that massive fucking chumpstain I fear there is no way back for Glen.

Loving Glen.

looks like him, you'll get over it and Johnson will continue to do good things.

 

I don't know anything about David Hayes, I watched his fight the other day...

[llego]

So how does Johnson affect the view that Benitez sucks at transfers?

Great. Fucking great. Now I hate Glen Johnson. Thanks for that!

[Fugitive]

He has been a fantastic signing and is a fucking superb player.

 

I'd say his hefty price tag is looking pretty fair at the minute.

[The 5th Benitel]

He was brilliant last night and it'd be clueless to suggest otherwise. Shame he tired in the second half cos it meant Kuyt had to do most of the attacking and he was beyond shite.

[Code]

Would you confess that he's a better player than you gave him credit for up till now? It's not important, and I don't really care, but I just wondered.

 

Yes I would, he is a lot better going forward than I thought he would be, but I`m not sold on him at the back at all.

[Scott_M]

Because he's been exposed so often for us thus far hasn't he.

 

Johnson has been excellent for us this season, alongside Bennynoon, he's easily been out best outfield player.

[coop]

Johnson was not to blame for their goal.

 

He will be dissapointed he didn't cut out the cross but full backs are not known for their heading ability whereas Skrtel (who i thought was shite again last night) is supposed to be a commanding centre half but failed to once again beat a defender in the air.

[Antynwa]

Johnson is a cracking player, but ironically we spent £16 Million him and our defence looks worse.

[Guest LFD]

Superb signing. People can talk about spending 16 million on a full back, but at Anfield against the weaker teams our full backs get just about as much possession as anyone.

 

He's also contributing in what should be winning us games with goals, assists and winning penalties.

 

The myth that he couldn't defend has gone, as we haven't seen any of that since he's arrive, quite the reverse.

 

Along with Torres and Reina, he's been our best player this season.
