I actually have some thought about playing Glen Johnson on the right of midfield because he offers more offensively than defensively with Maxi Rodriguez going to the left of midfield. Then stick Martin Kelly at right back. Joe Cole has to play in the hole because in all of his games so far, he's been mind-blowing there.
Sounds really good to me. I, like you, am not a huge fan of Glen Johnson defending. Doesn't even sound right! But the man attacking is a whole different ball game, he offers so very much in doing so and have always been curious as to why someone hasn't had the light bulb moment to turn him into an out and out winger. Come on Roy, give it a go.
As for Kelly, you must look at the youngster and see a young star in the making. His composure is only going to make him an even better player when you couple it with experience, even if it comes at the price of playing in these sort of big games.
And thank heavens Cole is back. His suspension after the Arsewipes game has in my opinion cost us majorly in the Prem. I believe he is going to be a player of huge import and influence for us going forward, so it goes without saying that it's really good to have him back and available to the squad.
