Glen Johnson (Liverpool -> Stoke)

Glen needs to get himself sorted. Right quick and in a hurry.

Agree but no real competition is a problem here until Kelly is fit.

Have to get his arse in gear tomorrow mate.

Totally agree, have the horrible feeling he'll be our weak link. Hear Rooney is out with a head injury, could just be gamesmanship though.

Are we sure it's a head injury and he's not just angry & confused again. 

Good player.

Seems underrated and unappreciated by a cohort of Reds and often gets critisism when he doesn't deserve it.

But he does deserve it right now.

Even longer if you want to really be critical.

All players have a dip in form, I thought Coutinho was horrible at Villa, Reina had lost his form for the best part of two years.

Johnson to me seems to get it more though, not sure why tbh.

This isn't anything new with Johnson, he's always been a poor defender and made blatant errors but has usually had someone to cover for him. When he doesn't, he's shown to be the liability he is.

Going forward, I've often though of him as overrated anyway. He has a decent strike on him and scores the occasional great goal which has people drooling over him. But he's not great at passing, his crossing leaves a lot to be desired and his tracking back from attacking positions is almost non-existent. He loses the ball then casually jogs rather than breaking his bollocks to get back in position.

I really hope he is sold. I just wonder who the F**k would want him. Most teams couldn't afford him because we'd want a big price and the teams who can afford him clearly aren't interested.

+1

He's sh*te and has been for most of his time here. His handful of wonder goals seem to convince some people but everything he does is piss.

Can't cross, can't defend.

If Micah Richards was fit he would of replaced Glen in the national team by now. Glen is blessed there is no one out there to challenge him at club and international level. Fingers crossed Kelly is back to his best soon.

Can't defend ?

Johnson was fecking boss!

Fair play to Glen he stepped up today, if he keeps it up I'll be happy.

Excellent defensively today. I didn't see the midweek match, so I can't comment on his form, but Glen Johnson is a perfect example of the type of player you don't know what you have until he's gone. 6 tackles (most on team) and 2 interceptions today. Not to mention he decked Evra!

Put in one of the worst performances of his career in midweek and then puts in one of the best against Manchester United.

Glen really is a curious case!

The two performances this week just about sum Johnson up.  Jekyll & Hyde.

Was this the same player I was so frustrated at watching Tuesday night! Solid today, hope the injury's just an impact one.

... today. Haven't seen him as focused on defending for a while.

So true. Wish he was switched on every game because he obviously has the talent, just the application lets him down sometimes.

Brilliant defensively today.

Thought he was boss today, one of the best on the pitch.

Got my man of the match today, looked solid.

Brilliant defensively today.

I agree 100%. Was excellent today. Shame about the injury. Hopefully not too serious.

He does my head in.

Terrific defensively but must of lost the ball in the Mancs half nearly every time.

Just put it together, lad!

Great defensively today but every time he went forward he lost the ball. Frustrates the crap out of me.
