Glen Johnson

If Kolo is fit I think there's a chance we'll play 3 at that back, maybe not next game but it'll be looked at I reckon.

Hope Kelly is at RB for Swansea, not convinced by wisdom.

might we chuck ilori in.

[Gazzla]

might we chuck ilori in.

I would doubt it, he's only played about a dozen first team games in his career. Throwing him in playing an unfamiliar position is the recipe for disaster and a sure fire way to destroy the lads confidence

The last time Skrtel played right back was against Spurs under Kenny, it was a total annihilation and Skrtel ended up getting red carded.

Toure at this stage of his career coming back from a groin injury doesn't need to be running up and down a wing constantly turning and putting increased pressure on the groin, I don't know how fit Kelly is but if he was fit he'd be my choice, but least we know wisdom is match fit

So we agree then.

Why? Why? Why? A young lad with 16 first team games to his name in a country where the quality is pretty **** is going to walk into our unbeaten side? Yeah right. This lad won't play all season, maybe he'll get a run out in the cups. Wisdom is fit and deserves to step in.

[Red_Polo]

he could defend there, but he wont get up and down like a wing back.

i doubt he would even peep over the half way line.

Not sure about that. He started a number of times as a winger at Arsenal. If asked to, I think he could do it. Not that I'm suggesting it!

Just read that Johnson has made the 3rd most tackles in the league this year (12) with a 100% success rate.

Toffee anyone?

are you on a personal crusade to stick up for everyone of our players? curious is all. you seem to take great delight in providing stats which are all well and good but can't be taken in isolation. what does a stat like that even mean? in a year he made 12 tackles? christ that isn't much is it? not even one a game. Perhaps as the devil I am, he only made twelve tackles because he couldn't get close enough to make more. Stats only ever tell part of a story. I like Johnson for the record but he's far from perfect.

Can't agrue with that really. Well, I am sure someone can but I totally get your point.

Eh?

What is his point? That I'm saying something positive? That he completely misunderstood the stats and they actually equate to 3 games this season? Or maybe Johnson just wasn’t close enough to his players to make that many tackles!

I get his point about stats and how they only tell part of the story. Not his point about you, you great big pansy.

**** off, you agreed with all the post, haha. It's only now I pointed it out that you realise.

Of course stats don't tell the whole story, nobody can debate that.

To be fair to Bob, you did say the stats were for the year.
