I Know its a little early to be judgmental on Glen Johnsons Account. But in recent weeks i've been thinking a lot.

Arbeloa was a decent estabilished player, like mascherano he puts defending before attacking. As we have seen already this season , the flaws of glen johnson has cost us quite a bit deal. Is liverpool missing our Right Back? I know all talk is on Alonso. But truth is going in front of goal is not the big matter , its defending.




Johnson is Great infront of goal. And a great playmaker. But he lacks serious defending capabilities. He scored an own goal and let asharvin score a scorcher already this season. Can we just rest on this Moral?

Comment and Critique

Em.... Glen is better than Arbeloa in my opinion, but he's been injured hasn't he?

Sorry to burst your thinking bubble

Johnson has already scored a couple of vital goals. And yes he has had his moments of insanity in defence, but then again, so has all of liverpools defenders. Johnson is a quality right back and will continue to improve. Arbeloa was good as well, but he wasnt good enough defensively to make up for johnsons attacking ability

No, don't think so. And even though Glen johnson's defensive awareness is questionable, Arbeloa isn't a great defender either. Ofcourse he is better than johnson in defensive abilities but not a very big difference. Atleast Johnson could provide some attacking options.
Now a days most of the liverpool's attack come from the right side and its due to Glen Johnson!So I don't think liverpool misses him but Johnson needs to improve his defensive abilities for sure

I don't think so. Glen Johnson is much much better than Arbeloa.... He is better dribbler, faster and scores goals.... But he's only deffect is his inconstance...

Arbeloa defending is a bit better than Glen. Glen otherwise proof more deadly in attacking. But we can't blame Glen for his mistakes in defending because ever since he join Liverpool he's the only one who actually try to build an attacking play. Liverpool weakness to build it's chemistry in midfield prove that we are totally lacking of trying to build an attack through midfield. Now Liverpool just have Aquilani fit hope he can put a difference to build a chemistry in midfield and then Glen can play more defensively. I still think Glen is a good defender the only problem is our lack in attacking through midfield. So we can say Liverpool do miss Arbeloa but not that much

Defence:  Arbeloa>Glen Johnson    Attack:  Glen>>>Arbeloa    You decide...

Johnson is like Ashley Cole but certainly isn't as good as a defender as him. They both like to come forward and play balls into the box. Arbeloa was certainly good but we all know Glen Johnson is better. But of course, with the way Liverpool are playing at the moment and the style they like to play, Arbeloa suited the right back position more. I don't exactly think they're missing him though

I certainly missed arbeloa after the arsenal and portsmouth games. Johnson's errors cost us those two games recently and I guess you could also say he is part of the reason why we have let in so many this season. On the other hand his performance against bolton and stoke earlier in the season made me forget who arbeloa was. Arbeloa could have never scored a goal similar to johnson's against stoke and his goal against bolton was really important. He equalized the game for liverpool, can you imagine arbeloa doing that? So I really don't know if we miss him or not. It would have been perfect if we still had him because degen is not good at all as a back-up and arbeloa can also play as left back

Liverpool are missing players from every position

I miss Finnan, mate

I think Riise is better than any of them even though he is a left-back
