How about Glen Johnson? Yes, yes, we do know that Glenny is definitely the 'stereotypical' attacking-wingback, not the role of a winger; but here's how I look at it.

Glen Johnson had already played BOTH flanks, even when he 'lost' his 'position' to a newcomer to the first team squad when it comes to selection on the right back. However, he has proven that he can definitely play as a flanker, and I should say that he does very well at that.

Maybe a certain game where our boss employed a 5-4-1 formation post January that yielded us a very optimistic result in regards to our wingbacks (I still remember we had very good praises for our young ones, including a certain 'Flanno' which have been getting flak in our recent game(s) in this new season of 2011-2012 BPL) and I believe that if there's a need for a conversion then Glen Johnson comes up to mind.

The reason I put it is that if my memory serves me right, under 3 managers thus far (although injuries do persist with him, almost like the other 'glass legs' player we have) Glen Johnson has managed to fulfil his tactical role (albeit the defending part is a suspect, that probably we can agree?) as one that can hold and bring the ball forward, and is not afraid of the touchline.

The only issue, based on how games have revealed is that if we play Glenny we'll need to have a winger or AM that can backtrack (although in most cases its always Carragher and Lucas getting into defensive position on zonal marking before either one smacks the opposition with a tackle) and our Glenny would just be trotting up to pick up the ball and pass it (in the event that he loses possession)

Still, I would think that he's probably one of those wingbacks that can be converted into wingers.

Glen Johnson from his 1st club West Ham>Chelsea>Portsmouth was a right back. At Chelsea his a favor until Abraham like to play Geremi instead of Glen.

It also a good idea to let Glen play as a winger. He has ability in attacking, but a little bit lose when tracking ball ball (we have discuss this) This should get into consideration, since Kuyt or Gerrard do get back to win the ball. Well its not we cant put him on right wing, just his weakness should be an extra job for Lucas and Kelly.

How's glen crosses? is it good? forgot already cause long time no see him.

Why i brings up this traditional winger is, when i watch Man Utd game. Since Beckham they have a good winger. And after one gone, they still have a player that almost up to the par as Sir Alex want to be. And new one Ashley Young. What a great goal ....bola curve tuuu..

Sebastian Coates sails through work permit, now officially a Liverpool player. Uruguayan defender has Scottish father

‎#LFC understood to have completed the signing of Sebastian Coates after the player came through a work permit hearing.

We did have good times under GH. When was the last time we won 5 cups in a single season? Problem was we became very one dimensional and predictable.

Sebastian Coates confirmation of his signing from Liverpool imminent #LFC

hmm, i'm still pondering that we ought to have one more striker? how do you guys think? or are we good with 4, Kuyt, Ngog, Suarez and Caroll?

Ngog would be sealing Bolton's deal no?

i think it is sufficient to have 4 strikers...in case of injury, we can opt to play with lone striker and 5 midfielders..

that's highly speculative. You know our gaffer leaves no hints. But I'll say we're doing the 'sell only if we can buy' mode instead of 'buy only if we can sell' mode that we went through during Rafa's era.

LOL.....at least some people here have a sense of humor

he will be playing center rite . or switch with kelly

sigh, my irritation knows no bounds when there is no game for us over this long week of holiday i am having.

I AM FRIGGIN PISSED!!! ...sigh :S

Added on August 31, 2011, 1:40 amoh and to the previous bunch of fella's (see i am being respectful) asking for a comparison between players? well, here is an honest reply:

1. Don't expect a fair comparison as there is nothing to compare in the first place - we don't know your players too well, neither do wee really look into it too much, so we don't know therefore hard to come out with a "fair comparison

2. Even if there are comparisons, please don't expect it to be non-bias, as we would definitely rate most of our players higher, just like you would too in your thread. so don't be stupid to expect anything less.

3. If you see a comparison leaning heavily to a club supported in this thread, please do not be butthurt (is this even a word, wateva) as you would be "stupid and naive" if you think otherwise. a bunch of hypocritical comments coming from your thread tells me you would do the same in a comparison. So in short feck off if you don't like what you are reading.

4. I love my club and the fans that are with our club and as much as we respect any club in the premier league, as rival fans you need to earn that respect and for a start "stop being hypocritical. so yeah, go fap if you have so much time in your hands
