why must we take a good player out of his position and put him in a other position even if he can play good in that position .The problem with us we must try to get good wingers ...is good that he go foward a lot and create goals for us that is a bonus.. but for me our team wil be good if we have good wingers and a RB and LB who can also join the attack...at least we have Jhonson in one positoin... we must just get good players on the wings and good LB and not play Jhonson out of his position
Well we've got another two months before we have the opportunity to buy another winger that's a lot of games and even then buying a winger won't necessarily be our main priority ahead of a striker for example.
And also you have to wonder how much are we sacrificing as far as defending is concerned playing with attacking fullbacks. It's certainly not what our team has been used to over the years, since we've played the likes of Arbeloa at right back before him. Is our defence capable enough to cover with one or more full backs bombing forward, neither Carragher,Skrtel, Kyrgiakos or Agger are particularly pacey defenders who are adept at covering counter attacks quickly, we're often caught out by pacey players anyway.
Point being I think we could utilise Johnson's, skill, pace and goal scoring ability without having to abandon his defensive abilities if he was given a couple at right wing, I honestly think he's our most talented and natural wide player in the entire squad and to me it seems risky that we've sometimes been reliant on our right back to break teams down.
I'd love to see Kelly introduced at right back more often in Premier league games we're expected to win, and perhaps more comfortable at defending at Johnson since he's a natural centre back. And if this doesn't work then he can always revert back to his attacking fullback role.
