    Have to laugh at the Skrtel photo, I fully expect to see Costa bully and outmuscle Skrtel in our box should they face off this season.

    Skrtel's image does not tally with his style of play, he is a pussy cat

    If he makes it through Skrtel he can try his luck with Sahko.

    He bumps like Micheals did against Hogan, he'll fit right in.

    Is Danny Sturridge more injured than he usually is?

    He just posted this on FB...

    Recovery = doing anything to feel good

    Manquillo on loan for 2 years with option to buy for 6m is the latest rumour.
    Would rather if Rodgers signed an experienced RB and played him until Ryan McLaughlin is ready (genuinely believe he will be a good player for us).

    Or else play Brad Jones there (can't be any worse than Johnson)

    I dont think we will be signing any experienced player, in the traditional sense, unless they are leaving a club or joining on loan. And even then, only if they accept the wages, which in turn rules out a lot of options of said 'experienced' players. A last big contract type signing just wont be joining LFC imho.

    Im cool with the manquillo signing if it goes ahead, by default he's better than johnson who's been poison for ages. Johnson is assumably off next summer, would rather him gone now tbh, as his contract runs out so if manquillo impresses we sign him, wisdom returns and we see were we are at with regards rb. Unfortunately it probably means kellys days are numbered with us which is a shame. Him and moreno in would be good progress in terms of full backs.

    Am I the only one who still rates Johnson? He's quite an attacking full back so he's always going to be the scapegoat when there is a counter attack. I think he's quite good actually in defence whenever hes needed. Definitely has turned into an underrated player.

    A 2 year loan? That sounds unusual .....why not 1? Can't think of any other situation like that.

    No.

    He's on the slide but the majority of the comments about him are silly. So he gets paid a fortune, so bloody what - that's the contract the club offered.

    20 year olds with 6 snr appearances are now better than Johnson :rolleyes:

    I don't mind Johnson, tbh. He's 'grand'.

    He should be more than that, though.

    Sahin at Dortmund, Tello at Porto.

    Always thought they were a bit strange too, circumstances can change a lot in a year. But there's probably callback options on most of them anyway.

    Johnson lost his footballing brain somewhere 2 years ago, still has some pace, in good shape can dribble etc but all he does is bomb down the right wing, cut in left. Then cut in left some more, and a bit more till he over runs it and loses possession and we are open to being countered. Lost count how often it happened lately with him

    Johnson, like Lucas is blamed disproportionally for things. It's lazy analysis mostly I think. Also, he is worse than he was, but not as much as is made out imo.

    This is it really. You have most of the component parts of a top class RB in Johnson but it just never comes together anymore.

    Agreed.

    In the space of a year our CB's went from having a solid season to a season full of errors. I'm not complaining, I really enjoy watching this team play, however, our style doesn't help the back four.

    He was never as good as was made out either

    Johnson was excellent in 12/13. When a player loses form he is written off too quickly. It happened with Sterling (alot wanted him out on loan),Skrtel,Henderson & Enrique( who was playing with a long standing Knee injury). Lucas is now also getting some disgraceful treatment on twitter too. Its a new season give Johnson a chance first to regain his form. A little bit of patience is required to see if it is a loss of form or a decline in Johnson.

    Nine times out of ten Johnson goes up the right wing and gives the ball away...THAT doesn't help anyone.

    He was decent until about Xmas 2012. Decent,not excellent. Since then he's been a liability.
