KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Has Aldridge got a good idea?

Simply stuff Johnson is a full back a poor one at that which Mr benitez paid a lot of money for who has done nothing apart from make our team worse , if Martin Kelly or even Stephen Darby can't get a chance instead of this player who plays on the myth of his england status then they should move on because they have no chance, johnson is not good enough for right back he should be left out not put right midfield .

Johnson is a nightmare to watch when it comes to defend. Pushing him in front of Kelly is a good idea. Since Gerrard prefer the middle of the park, Merilez can play alongside him. Leave Kuyt out and see. He is another player we should be offloading. Headless chicken!

I don't think we must move Johnson forward! Instead Johnson must work harder on his tackling. When he was at chelski and pompey, he was a hard tackler, he used to put strength when tackling but he has become soft tackler at anfield. Rafa gave him freedom to move forward than put emphasis on defending! I remember Johnson at chelski being a hard nut to crack for wingers, the contrary at anfield. Players like Johnson and Gerrard plays best football when they put strength on tackling and win balls in their own area and make powerful runs from there on. Nowadays, both these players look poor defensively to me because they are more interested to attack than defend. I'm wondering where is the gerrard who used to get red card for strong tackles?? When was Gerrard last red-carded?? This indicates their lack of commitment into defensive work. Who to blame?? Ofcourse Rafa! He changed the defensive mentality of players into attacking mentality. You need fighting spirit to win balls, especially when your opponents are playing very well. What's the use of attacking mentality when you can't win the ball?? It only frustrates the players like gerrard when the opponents keep possession. Open your eyes Roy see it now. Smash the heads of Johnson and gerrard. Tell them you will be more pleased to see a clean sheet than see any of them getting a hat-trick. Gerrard scored 2 goals against manure. Had we kept clean sheet and get 1 goal, yea "job done". YNWA.

johnson isn't a winger.

Strength in the tackle- can't say I've heard that one before. Anyway, it's not the tackling part that worries me about Johnson, it's his general lack of awareness of what's going on in front if him, he lacks concentration and he isn't disciplined enough as a right back. I'd take arbeloa back in a instant, he new when to make his runs, he knew where to be wherever the ball was on the pitch an he was a friggen good defender to. I'd rather have a class right winger who can provide the width than put an average Glen Johnson there and gave Kelly or darby right back

Johnson is so bad positionally it`s unbelievable, for a guy with his experirnce to get caught ball watching so often is strange.

Babel has offered us nothing since he's been here.

dear everyone: babel is sh*t.

can we stop debating the obvious?

It's a bold idea for me mate.
