How Glen Johnson missed the England team photo

[Mellotron]

One of his best games in an England shirt.

 

[Marshy]

Englands 5th choice right back in my opinion at best

He is a total liability

but isn't your opinion at least a little bit affected by the delightful way he skips away from the team line-ups. Look how eager he is! Look how happy he is!

I agree, the covering tackle he did when the french were clean through was TERRIBLE.

PS

Name the other 5 players who would get in front of him. Seeing as he's 5th 'AT BEST', I'm sure you can place him 6th with considerable ease.

 

[Mellotron]

On natural ability Richards would be ahead of him, but it seems clear (from THREE managers now) that he has issues with taking orders.

I can't think of anyone else. And no, Phil Jones shouldn't be playing there.

 

[Marshy]

please really....... had a great game then

He was as good as Ashley Cole, certainly.

I cursed at the pub telly more than once about Johnson driting out of position. I thought it was noticeable in a team seemingly so well drilled that Johnson was the one doing his own thing the most. He was good enough on Monday but I think he is a f*** up waiting to happen.

Glad I wasn't the only one!

 

[Marshy]

Cole didnt have Milner in front of him doing all the donkey work though...

 

[Marshy]

Of the top of my head... and im sure there are more

Walker
Richards
Simpson
Smalling
Jones

All of them i would rather have at right back than Johnson.

Is this some kind of level?

Those 3 are AWFUL.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA

wtf

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

SMALLING!!!??




It's a lost cause.

 

[Mellotron]

From your list, compared to Johnson

Better defensively:

Possibly Jones, although again felt that Johnson was generally solid on Monday.

Better going forward:

None of them. No question.

Kyle Walker, Micah Richards, Phil Jones. I'd have him 4th. No let's say 5th - Gary Neville is there too. Even at his age.

 

[Kumquat]

Oh yeah I forgot Smalling. 6th then.

Jones would be in my top 3 worst right backs in the prem at defending. Guy is an absolute clown!

In fact I'd have Milner at right back before Johnson. I reckon if they swapped positions, we'd probbaly be better.

It's probably social suicide on this thread but I actually agree PARTIALLY with Marshy. Glenn Johnson is one of our weak links. He had a good game FOR HIM against France, but he's a liability defensively generally speaking.

Anyone playing in front of him is hampered by the fact that Johnson will literally bomb forward, without a second thought, at a moments notice & is stuck covering for him - see James Milner.

Micah Richards is a better all-round right back & should be there. He's more disciplined, yet still provides an attacking threat.
