Gerrard Out, But Why is Johnson In?
Monday, November 09, 2009
If you go by what has been written and said about Glen Johnson over the past few months, then you probably wouldn't have a very good opinion about the right-back.
Not good enough defensively, prone to lapses in concentration that leave him as well as his fellow defenders exposed, he is England's weak link and it was madness for Benitez to pay so much (whatever that 'much' is) for him.
Yet, if that is the case, why is it that Johnson has been picked for England despite missing so many recent games due to injury? Is it that Fabio Capello is so desperate as there aren't any other right-backs available?
Or is it, perhaps, that his ability to add another dimension to attack makes him a valuable part of the team? Surely not.
Of course, it would be much better for Liverpool if Capello were to take heed to what the talking heads are saying. The last thing that is needed right now is for the player with whom Liverpool have been so patient in getting fit to be injured yet again playing in a game that was set up purely to line the FA's pockets.

shut up you fool johnson has been a revelation , you must have an ulterior motive behind your comments,he is a quality player and you will defo eat your words.also you should focus your comments on the likes of voronin degen dossena and ngog these players arent fit to wear the great shirt,you couldnt be more wrong about johnson
I think that you got the wrong end of the stick: what I'm saying is that those who have been doubting Johnson are wrong.
PS - I think that, after yesterday, you should have a different view on N'Gog.
