KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Flanagan signs new contract

I believe in John Flanagan and Martin Kelly , half of our future defence is already in place to take over from the first team at the moment. While Kelly plays mostly at Right Back now , he is originally a Centre Back. So hopefully he can get some chances in that Centre Back position alongside Jamie Carragher or even Daniel Agger and Martin Skrtel to prove that he is the one for the future. For John Flanagan , while he only started mostly at the end of the season , he had done enough to prove to some Liverpool fans , including me , that he is ready to burst into the scene anytime he is needed. With a mentor like Glen Johnson , who is England's number 1 Right Back , I'm sure the only way for him is up. Hopefully...

People might say that I sound too opimistic but results and individual performances indicates that John Flanagan and Martin Kelly are ready for the action into regular first team football.


Just My Thoughts
YNWA...

the boy deserved it so well done son

He certainly more than deserve it...Good to see local lad coming through...

I think Kelly is ready, but I really want to keep him at right back. He has been astonishing there. If it aint broke, dont fix it by moving him to CB. For me it's all about robinson as well. He is going to be a Liverpool hero I reckon.

completely agree.

well kenny really got them playing years above whats expected hope he can get henderson ticking away so he explodes onto the scene

I can't recall any teenager whose been rushed into the team for the last 5-6 games of the season and hardly puts a foot wrong

Considering his age and lack of experience he was a revelation

With three good right backs - him, Johnson and Kelly - that's one position in which we don't need to strengthen

If only we could say the sa,e about left back

Well Robinson is one for the future in that position. He hasn't played as many games, but when he has, he's played really well. He was outstanding when he came on against Arsenal

He single handedly shut walcott up that day.

quality video,thats brightened up my [oops] nite
