Glen Johnson has been on a notorious decline for the past seasons.Whereas before he offered daring runs into the opposition´s half and made crosses and made a habit of shooting from a distance (albeit erratically from the most part),he now rarely incursions into the other half and his defensive work,which was never his strong suit,has not gotten any better which is an understatement seeing his many defensive errors from this season alone.He shows no signs of trying or caring,and apart from that excellent suicide header goal,he seems honestly resigned to his poor form.
One would say the same applies for the whole team,but the fact that he looks more apathetic than the rest,who we have seen put in some kind of effort on and off this season,and that his form was in decline from last season or even before that makes his case truly worrying. There just doesn´t seem to be any technique or quality left,and worse of all,no spark,no desire.
We should hang onto him until summer when his contract is up just to provide backup for Manquillo who I´ve not been impressed with but should definately be starting in his place,and until Flanagan comes back.We could try and sell him for something in January but I don´t see how that would be wise until Jon is back.
