Glen Johnson

[LeTallecWiz]

He used to be an excellent attacking option ... Now he loses the ball constantly when he faces up to players.

He used to be be decent defensively, now he just seems even more casual and disinterested in his primary job.

He's never been this bad ... I mean, he just seems so utterly disinterested ... I'd start Toure or McLauhlin against Hull. He needs a kick up his ass - these kind of performances cannot continue.

Worst player for us on the pitch ... again ... and I think the worst player for us this season by quite a bit.

 

[Red Mullet]

Rest him for Hull.

 

[keniget]

Yup. He's been poor.

Unfortunately Rodgers has got no option but to play him as we're fucked for fullbacks. I suspect we will be buying at least one in January.

 

[Hansern]

Sell him this summer. 1 year left on his massive contract. Going backwards and looks uninterested and cant be arsed.

 

[mark1975]

If Flannagan is back any time soon, he should play on the right.

Johnson has hit poor form over the last year, but defensively you all know I've always had my reservations. His concentration levels and indecisiveness are costly.

 

[Mors]

Isn't his contract up soon? Or soon to be looked at? I think now (January/the summer) would be a good time to sell him, he's on mega bucks as it is. As long as we buy someone in before he goes, not after, I'd be happy to see him moved on.
I'm all for attacking fullbacks, but surely they need to be able to defend too.

 

[Hansern]

18 months left and he's proably getting 100k a week

 

[Gary25]

Another shocker. Complete lack of effort once again too.

 

[Holle]

We have to massively look into full backs this window.

Left and right.

 

[red_maradona]

I have been a massive fan, he has been seriously underrated on this site. But this season has been telling. He has been on the wane and the way Willian dispossessed him as he was trying to tease him was clear evidence that the poise, skill and technique which so go him out of trouble is no longer what it used to be.

 

[Woland]

He's had an up and down career, moments of pure brilliance. I recall he won us a match late on at Chelsea over Christmas a few years ago. But he's fucking shite now.

 

[Buddha]

Can't we sell him to Napoli?

 

[gene hughes]

He looks overweight a lot of the time.

 

[Hansern]

He looks and runs like he's eaten a whole pizza just before kick off

 

[ILD]

He's not over weight. He's become too comfortable though. I was one of his biggest fans but he's pathetic lately. Lazy, indulgent, indifferent, arrogant, careless etc etc. Not good enough.

 

[mom]

He can't defend. But he can attack, when he's bothered. Sell.

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

Rest him for Hull.

Call a spade a spade - he's been shit and not been putting in enough effort for too long. He doesn't need resting - he needs to be fucking benched.

 

[Red Astaire]

He was shite today. Shame - He used to be quite good.

 

[localny]

Is there any defenders of glen joe here?

 

[Ryan]

Yup, he was fucking horrendous today.

 

[Leo]

Fat lazy wanker.
He's been consistently shite for the last 18 months.
A luxury that we could really do without.
Mcloughlin should start against Hull but he won't.

 

[DHSC]

I like Johnson, but he has been utterly shit in recent times. I wonder what's causing this loss in form.

 

[RedZeppelin III]

he has no competition for his place , he doesn't have any fear of losing it . Easy for him to get complacent .

 

[Rosco]

When was he excellent in attack ?

 

[dantes]

When was he excellent in attack ?

In the first half against West Ham last season. This season he should fuck off back to West Ham, or else be thrown aside to the reserve team's bench. Then he can spend the summer at home on a treadmill whilst watching Colombia win the World Cup.

 

[Fox]

I think he is unfit. He looks fat. He used to be superb going forward.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

I think he is unfit. He looks fat. He used to be superb going forward.

I thought that yesterday too.

 

[keniget]

Heh. Looks like Glen has run out of supporters me included.

It is a shame but even if the arrival of a new RB forced him into improving his form I'd still want rid because I have no time for people that are just happy to coast when they're able to.

 

[RedStar]

Hes clearly stagnated at the club over the last 18 months, its ridiculous to think that in our best season in half a decade he cant find any motivation

 

[Spaghetti Legs]

He's not over weight. He's become too comfortable though. I was one of his biggest fans but he's pathetic lately. Lazy, indulgent, indifferent, arrogant, careless etc etc. Not good enough.

Same here, defended him so many times in the past but hes indefensible now.

Its a real shame because it looks like another position we have to spend money on in the summer when we really want to be concentrating on other positions, can't see us getting more than 5 mill for him in the summer, he will go to Spain aswell, remember an interview on TV with him a couple of years ago and he said he was taking Spanish lessons and he basically wants to go to Spain before he retires, mentally he looks over there right now.
