KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Glenn Johnson....

There is not justification for saying he is attack minded so he can slack off defensively. FFS even Roberto Carlos did better tracking back and he was far more offensive minded than Mr.Johnson.

Johnson is a good player just that like the majority of the team he has gotten lazy and has found an excuse in the ownership saga...As Kenny said over the weekend on the pitch its not the owners who play, the players have to own up for the miserable run

i wouldn't even say him just being lazy is the problem, i just think he's crap!!

He's shiit defensively he's shiit going forward... what does he bring to the side?? If he was playing like he did in then first few games ok i would be happy with that.. but he aint he is awful.

He frustrated me so much on saturday trying to turn on the ball and step over it and eventually losing it, just cross the fuccking ball!!! Then he had a chance to shoot and passed it sideways??

I just didn't understand why know one was shooting at goal, that keeper is a nobody and should have been tested alot more.

Just playing around with Chalk Boards on the Guardian site (really should get back to working!!). Johnson made 11 tackles in the Sunderland match, won 6 lost 5!

He attempted 7 clearances, completing 4 and fecking up 3! How do you feck up a hoof!!

On to passes he attempted 36, completing 23 and fecking 13, only one successful ball into the box!

Dont know what any this means but the chalk boards are fun!! Maybe it means we over paid on his transfer fee!!

to be honest i thought he did well on second half & improving
he's more suitable for RWB, and he's not our biggest problem

Agreed, also adds our ONLY width.

he is one of our only attacking options that successfully gives us width. 17m was insane though.

he gives us width?? how does he give us width? because he stands to one side?

If he kept the ball and passed it well from wide and intercepted well and made more of it, thats width!!

Just being on the right doesn't mean he gives us succesful width.

I'm thinking more of the crosses he puts in the box, and when he beats players out wide and gets to the by-line...

he's defenitly a threat, either for our opponents or for us , but its not necessarily his fault when that happens though

We need a traditional winger, why not put Johnson on the wing, and buy a right back?
