Glen Johnson

[Kenneth]

Great work roy, you utter cunt.

Class players wanting out, all down to this odious arrogant dinosaur.

**** OFF ROY, NOBODY WANTS YOU HERE, HAVE SOME ****ING DIGNITY & GO

We'll have to disagree. Get rid of Roy, then get rid of Johnson. Terrible buy, poor player who found 18 months of good attacking form. England rightback because there is nobody else.

[Craig_H]

Well if Johnson isnt good enough, then neither are about 15 of the PL's first choice rightbacks.

Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is shocked his assessment of Glen Johnson's form had created such a fuss and apologised for any perceived criticism.

The England defender has not been up to scratch this season but has been troubled by injury and missed the last three matches with a groin problem.

After the midweek draw with Wigan Hodgson gave an honest assessment of how he thought the right-back had been playing, saying he had not yet reached the level which made him a regular in Fabio Capello's side.

Reports emerged today claiming Johnson is unhappy at Anfield and that his relationship with the manager has deteriorated.

Just a few hours earlier, after the 2-0 defeat at Stoke, Hodgson said he stood by his comments, although they were not meant as a direct criticism of the player.

"We all want Glen Johnson to find his England form, but that has nothing to do with him being injured at the moment," he said.

"That was just a general comment that I think I was entitled to make.

"We have a player with ability and we are hoping he is going to bring that ability to the team because we want to use it help us win matches.

"It is no good being a player with great ability if you are not bringing that on to the field of play.

"We know Glen can and will do that but first and foremost Glen has to get fit and I'm hoping that will be the case by next Sunday (at home to West Ham) because he has made good progress.

"He as well as I knows this season he hasn't reached that form very often - it amazes me that when you make a statement of such obvious voracity people want to make headlines out of it.

"Everyone is saying what I am saying. I hope I am honest and I hope the players are honest.

"I didn't realise I had been accused of criticising him; I don't normally criticise my players and I'm sorry if that has been suggested."

So now the Daily Mail is a rag we believe without question when it's critical of Hodgson? And don't say this isn't in response to the article.

It's very difficult to find some form if you're injured.

Roy really is deluded, very deluded.

I'm not Glen's biggest fan by any means, although I do think he can offer something with the right setup even with his liabilities..........................but this is yet another shining example of Roy's fabled man management (something which certain other managers have been slated for)

[Icon]

I can't honestly think of positive thing to say about him...

Anybody..?

[Craig_H]

Unbelievable, what a ****ing tool he is.

Each week, he comes out and opens his big gob, and then the following week, has to apologise. Like a ****ing child.

Just shut the **** up Roy, it's not hard - it takes less effort than actually speaking...

Why's he come out and apologised then, if he didnt make the comments? :lightbulb:

He is so not used to being analyzed in public. Thats the second time in a month where he has had to backtrack on his statements. The issue with him is that when he opens his mouth, he says so much that the chances of him not saying anything stupid becomes statistically impossible.
