Glen Johnson

[~LFCHistory~]

Dont think many on here have been black and white with him. Some have. But most seem to acknowledge he is a good player, just playing poorly.

When on form he's brilliant, the problem is he'll put in one good performance and follow it up with 4 average/poor displays, he's been doing that for a long time now. When you consider he's England's first choice RB and on 100k a week that's nowhere near good enough and he turns 30 in a a couple of weeks so he's only going to continue declining, now's the time to move him on IMO.

'glen johnson, glen johnson to the locker room please'

dont worry, javier, you can have this one once he clears his stuff out.

Ok, here are a few quotes from Dec’12-Jan’13

Astounding commitment

Agree fully with dww. But it's always black or white though. He's either ****, or fantastic.

fantastic

Quiet day at work RR?

Interesting how it's turned around (and I'm glad I didn't commend his defending).

Quiet day at work RR?

Haha, I was gonna let it lie, but I was getting a 'your on your own' feel from the replies, so I checked back to make sure I wasn't losing my mind and only took 5 mins to read and quote. It wasn't even selective quoting, ignoring the negative posts, every post over those dates alluded to the same thing.

People tend to have extremely short memory's. It depends on the player though. Some guys can go through months of ****ty performances and no one will batter an eyelid. Others whom aren't so popular will have people on their back after 2 or 3 consecutive sub par games and all the good work they've done forgotten and discarded.

[Red_Polo]

Batter an eyelid? Do you deep fry and serve with chips?

I think the reason some players seem to get a bye is less out of personal preference for them and more out of the strength of their prior quality and/or lack of impact on the team of their loss of form.

Those who do judge on personal preference tend to be obvious, and are usually goaded for it. Est being est

I must say, he actually looked much better at LB The other day.

[dww]

I think he always looks better in an organized defence. I believe with Lovren there he'll be really good either side.

[Kenneth]

I think that's wishful thinking. He looks good when someone defends on his behalf and tidies up his mistakes. Better CBs may help that but only to a point.

He is a top earner which should accommodate the bar and expectations we set. As DWW said the injury set him back. I think it's fair to say that he has to deliver this season. I don't think he can coast another season without consequence. Good speed and good skill but the past year or 18 months the end product has been poor.

I like him and hope he get's back on the horse. I think a sale is out of the question with the wages he commands in the current contract. That's the issue we have with Agger now. 90.000 a week for an injury prone 30 year old CB - any takers?

That's one thing LFC fans don't dream of

a team of Johnsons

I think we should sell him before the windows shuts. We now have Moreno and Flanno to cover.
