Glen Johnson

[Fredo]

He's being coached by one of the worst managers we've ever had.

[Craig_H]

He's not crap at all. He appears to have something majorly troubling him though.

I just hope he hasnt been toilet-seat-shopping again at B&Q.

[Shaggy]

He's not crap, no. This season he's been a disaster though, and he does have some obvious deficiencies. The downward spiral started after his **** up against Arsenal last season but this year he's been much, much worse. I think he's confused and inhibited by our 'system' and, yeah, something seems to be bothering him. I think it's probably the manager.

[Leyton388]

He is just poor at tracking his man and lets the players go past him to often.

[Fredo]

Johnson's a good player but he needs a great coach to coax him into becoming a top player. He won't get it here.

Roy is responsible for world poverty too.

So you're on the Bob Charmer fence then? Get rid, two birds with one stone.

By the end, Liverpool had resorted to throwing Kyrgiakos up front - the Greek twice going close - and playing Meireles at left-back. It is hardly the way Liverpool go about winning games. The Kop, applauding Blackpool from the pitch, expect better. They have lost their belief that Hodgson is the man to deliver it.

No. I just think Glen Johnson is ****.

Johnson at fault for both goals yesterday. Our crap new system however is getting the worst out of him.

He was and it is.

He also saved an almost certain goal with a covering tackle after Blackpool broke down our left side.

That for me is the problem, as I said earlier in the threat attacking fullbacks will get caught out of position and we need a system that will take that into account, last year we had Mascherano sitting and either filling in gaps or holding up play until men get back, his replacement Poulsen offers little of no resistance to opposition attacks. I think our defence will struggle as long as we have an ineffective defensive midfielder in front of them.

With a client on Friday who works in media said Jonno has a gagging order out at the moment.

Dunno if true but he's a good lad and no reason to doubt what he says, it would make sense though as he does look distracted at the moment

A big difference in the defensive set ups between Rafa and Roy is that the fullbacks always had protection from the central defender/defensive midfielder. Now the fullback is left all alone most of the time with no protection at all.

Roy is also forcing Johnson to play an all defensive game and that isn't his strength. If he want to play a defensive game then he should play Kelly.

If you want to play an attacking game, play Johnson.

Skrtel is **** helping the fullback out and so is Kyrgiakos. Poulsen is also **** helping the fullbacks out. Lucas is probably our best defensive player right now together with Carra and Agger. That says a lot of our defense.
