This is precisely why you want a healthy youth set up - Flanno will never be a 'world class RB' or even considered amongst the best RBs in the league. However, he competes 100% of the time, is improving his overall play and rarely makes mistakes. Just like United's titles of the last two decades were aided by Butt, O'Shea, Evans etc, so will players like Flanno do that for us. He's there by merit - and as his confidence improves, he'll become even more of a nuisance in his attacking play ... A excellent squad option worst case scenario that didn't cost us anything ...
Johnson will apparently be fit by next week. Does he start ahead of Flanno?
No. The lad has been great so why drop him.
There's always the option of Johnson at left back

Fuck no.
Flanno's been great. Solid defensively and shown surprising composure on the ball.
Does he shite.
Providing he includes the appropriate level of fibre in his diet.
Yes. All you have to so is compare him to how Johnson was playing. It's a no-brainer.
It's a measure of how far he has come when I think it was last season... or was it the most recent game against Arsenal? Anyway, he was brought in for an ill Johnson and I had an overwhelming feeling of dread.
Now I would have in the team ahead of Johnson anyday of the week and feel extremely confident about it.

I think the question should probably be whether he deserves to be the starting left back, because I think Rodgers will move him over to accommodate Johnson once the latter returns. That's if he believes Johnson's shitness over the last year is down to him playing through injuries.
I don't have an issue with Flano being on the left - it helps develop him and he's shown this season he can play on both sides with the same effectiveness. He's not going to pull up any trees on the attack (right now), but he keeps his head down and works really hard and does his job at the back, and I'm glad he's improved by leaps and bounds this season.

I'm more than happy to eat humble pie re Flanno. I had written him off and cringed every time I saw his name on the teamsheet after those poor performances last season.
But the lad has really improved and cemented his place in the first team.
He deserves to start now and is improving every game. What surprised me the most yesterday was his passing. It was sublime at times.
He'll never be a world beater but first and foremost he's a very good defender and not afraid of anything. I'm chuffed to bits for him. Hope he continues in the same way and keeps Johnson on the bench.

All is forgiven for glen once I read he was playing injured. I think he should get back in
How many Nigerian Princes are you financially supporting at the moment?
4 if I include your mom
I'd be tempted to put Johnson at left back. He's a better left back even when half fit than Cissokho is.
Me too. I actually think he concentrates a bit better when he's on the left anyway. Never seen him play badly at LB.
Aye because Johnson's been solid as a rock this last season or two.
agreed, inspired decision by Kenny to play him there and he seems to thrive.
That's a good call actually. I quite agree.
