Johnson vs. Kelly

[dww]

For me, while generally very good, Enrique definitely holds onto the ball too much in tight situations some times. Given that I think both he and Johnson are generally well balanced in terms of being good defensively and with the ball, I'd rather that complaint than have two fullbacks who looked to smash the ball down the line or out all the time.

[BringbackBiscan]

That's my only slight gripe with Enriques game too, but he's very good at getting out of trouble and rarely gets caught, so it balances itself out. We'd be losing possession if he just wacked it out for a throw in everytime.

I think he's the best left back in the league. Cole and Evra are living on past merits, both still good players but not quite what they were. I can't think of anyone else even close to him. Bargain signing.

[JohnDoe]

Enrique has the tendency to shield the ball too often and dare any poor ****er to try to muscle it off him. It's like he's showing off sometimes, "I'm gonna hold onto this ball and turn my back to you, go on, make my day".

with kelly's decent contributions at LB and his [and glenn's] willingness to run past platers and support the attack, i thought this was worth a bump.

[Shaggy]

I can see why people prefer Kelly, he's ace, but for me Glen is a clear choice and it's great to have such a good back-up.

[Daniel 7]

I think Glen is the better RB, and Kelly is at an early phase of his football education. He's very young, his consistency is still a bit up and down. Great prospect though.

Whats happened to the other young full backs though? Have they been playing well away from the first team?

[Shaggy]

Robinson was injured for ages, think he's nearly fit again.

We apparently tried to send Flano on loan to Leeds but it didn't happen. He's been on the bench lately.

[Liverpool]

I think Johnson was a terrible waste of money with his fee and wages, im happy to see either of them on the teamsheet

[Kenneth]

I think we over paid, but a terrible waste is when you over pay for a crap player (cough cough), and Glen isn't that.

we are fortunate to have glenn, kelly and flano who can all cover LB very well. given that we have options for that position, would it make sense to better utilise glenns good attacking capabilities down the RW and play him there instead of kuyt. this would then give better crosses for carroll, better support for the attack with the right winger following up the play and getting in to the box, and also, no doubt, adding a few goals like he has done in the past.

overpaying is when you dont get value surely? irrelevant now anyway

[danperkins]

Kelly for me, improves with each game. Big,strong,atheltic,good positioning and makes somes great bursts forward. Not as good as Johnson technically, but IMO a better defender. Good complaint IMO

[cream]

Right-back is our strongest area of the team in terms on quality and strength in depth.

[Lee]

They're both bloody good but Johnson is still better.

Makes me boil when you get these Sky Sports fans mugging off his defensive abilities!111!One!!1
