Quality signing.

Favourite signing of the summer so far for me. And why shouldn't he be a consistently good for us for a decade? He's got all the tools for a proper top class full back ,that's obvious to see.

Hmm lets not go that far.

No reason to think otherwise. He's 24, rapid, reads the game well and looks like a seasoned pro out there.

He's had a great first 2 games. Solid as fuck at the back and a great pacy threat going forward.

The last time I was this confident (defensively) was when we had Arbeloa. Its been a fucking while. Johnson really dragged our standards down as to what to expect from a right fullback. Such a vast improvement.

Top game again tonight though i thought he really tired towards the end, the Bournemouth left full, number 11 ? Daniels is it, i thought he was also really good.

He could be our first choice right back for the best part of a decade.

Well there's always the fact if he gets good enough will sell him to Barcelona

Top top player. Expected nothing less from the lad. No frills footballer and something we've been missing for quite a number of years.

Chakan · « **Reply #367 on:** August 18, 2015, 12:29:06 am »

He's really good. I like his covering, defensively sound and likes to get forward. Everything you could want in a defender.

The one thing you need to be in his position in a Rodgers side is make it tough for your opponent to go past you. That's what he does best. I am worried he doesn't suffer from elevated expectations as the season goes on and our midfielders don't provide him the same support in some games. So far he has been the better of the new signings, IMO.

Carra-ton · « **Reply #372 on:** August 18, 2015, 05:54:16 am »

It is so unnatural for Liverpool to have a fullback who can defend well and join in the attack, that my eyes burn. A quality fullback can give you fifteen points extra, and I am not exaggerating. The title winners always have quality full backs, those who can't simply be beaten easily.
If only we had him playing like this in 13/14.
The difference with Johnson is so stark, I can't believe we didn't get rid of Glen soon.

lorenzo23 · « **Reply #373 on:** August 18, 2015, 06:29:01 am »

Another solid performance looked like he been playing for us for few years now, need better forward in front of him to be able to see the best from him.

ThePeetmix · « **Reply #374 on:** August 18, 2015, 06:52:00 am »

Will become our Mr. Consistant. It's so nice having a player you know exactly what to expect from.

jepovic · « **Reply #375 on:** August 18, 2015, 07:47:05 am »

Clyne doesn't have the technical talent that Johnson has, but he makes the right decision all the time. Feels like he will deliver these 7-8/10 performances every week, rather than the occasional 9 followed by five 5/10 performances that Johnson gave us.

TheSoundLady · « **Reply #376 on:** August 18, 2015, 08:00:19 am »

Awesome signing

Upinsmoke · « **Reply #377 on:** August 18, 2015, 08:00:57 am »

As solid as they come this fella. Just what we've needed since arby left

Flaccido Dongingo · « **Reply #378 on:** August 18, 2015, 08:05:08 am »

For once we've actually gone out and signed a specialist player for a full back position, really pleased with how seamlessly he's slotted in to the team.

ThisIsMickey · « **Reply #379 on:** August 18, 2015, 08:05:16 am »

Fantastic signing. A beast of a player

Severely · « **Reply #380 on:** August 18, 2015, 09:27:50 am »

Impressed by his intelligence. After watching Johnson meander forward and stroll back, it's refreshing to see a player consistently make the right decision in terms of choosing the best time to burst forward.

RedEire · « **Reply #381 on:** August 18, 2015, 09:45:44 am »

Thought he was superb last night, very solid defensively in both games which is what you would want first and foremost from your fullbacks. He's not afraid of going into a heavy 50/50 tackle either, there was one in the first half he smashed their winger and came out with the ball and his man left picking himself up off the floor.

Delighted with him so far but not getting carried away, because we were all rambling on about how great Enrique was when he was motm and shinning in his first few games for us

This tackle was absolutely brilliant.

plura · « **Reply #383 on:** August 18, 2015, 10:01:54 am »

He is a defender that's gonna save our arses a couple of times per season. Great pace, determination and old school tackling ability.

Gus 1855 · « **Reply #384 on:** August 18, 2015, 10:14:33 am »

Given he was a little isolated defensively on the right, he did very well.

vorsprungtorbenpieknik · « **Reply #385 on:** August 18, 2015, 10:41:30 am »

Really pleased with him so far. Johnson was becoming an obvious liability down that flank and this signing will bag us point,s without a doubt. I can see him turning at least 2/3 of our losses last season into draws/wins, just by virtue of his solidity. He's going to get us at least 5/7 points this season.

Notayesman · « **Reply #387 on:** August 18, 2015, 10:46:53 am »

Yeh he's been great so far. I think we'll see even more from him attacking wise once the team beds in a little better but he's solid and quick. A massive upgrade on last season.

Fordy · « **Reply #388 on:** August 18, 2015, 01:07:53 pm »

Are any of them performing badly? They are all pretty good so far IMO.

Cave_Wang · « **Reply #390 on:** August 18, 2015, 10:49:35 pm »

He really has been superb so far. For the money we paid he is an absolute steal. That tackle on Gradel was so well timed!

mrantarctica · « **Reply #391 on:** August 18, 2015, 11:41:38 pm »

1000% upgrade on Glen Johnson. Brings pace, power and physicality to defending. Seems pretty solid in defence and is not at all reluctant to make raids forward and get crosses in for Big Ben. For me, he's been the outstanding signing so far. I'll be the first to admit, I had my doubts - but if he stays fit and continues to perform as he has and even improves a bit then he'll be one of the top full backs in the league for sure.

What doubts did you have?

This was always going to be a good signing as far as I'm concerned, especially at the price we got him at.

Clint Eastwood · « **Reply #393 on:** August 19, 2015, 12:32:33 am »

Excellent full-back. He doesn't look like he should be that good defensively, but he's great at tackling, great athlete.

He will be?

He already was one of the best RB in the league last season when we signed him from Southampton.

Only Ivanovic and Zabaletta were better .

ThePoolMan · « **Reply #395 on:** August 19, 2015, 03:32:16 am »

Even from the youtube videos, I had little doubt that he would improve our team significantly as RB when he was signed. He has everything that you want in a RB - proven ability int he Premiership, pace, strength, defensive nous and attacking and crossing ability.

simesy · « **Reply #396 on:** August 20, 2015, 10:42:38 pm »

Love the fact we seem to have fullbacks who are good solid defenders first which makes us hard to beat.
