kelly to me is our best young player potentially. i think he's performed between well and excellently on all occasions. he should def be our RB with johnson at mid right.
i've been very impressed with him too. you can tell naturally he's a CB its like watching carra play full back. but at least the lad is getting his experience and it never did carra any harm during houlliers reign. i know he will have some big boots to fill but he could be the next carra. you can see he's quite poor technically with his passing etc very bread and butter style footballer lol. but you can't knock his bravery. i've seen him throw his body on the line a few times and you can't ask much more from a defender
johnson seems to be the only player in the side who is willing to take people on and create room for a cross. i remember watching the utrecht game and he seemed like our only attacking outlet, everything went up the right hand side from our own half. it does make sense. he's been poor defensively though and its out of order for him to walk straight into our side and england when his defending hasn't been up to scratch. he needs a wake up call and i hope roy makes him fight to get his place in the side because in all fairness we've looked alot more solid in the last 2 games without him
