Wayne Bridge makes himself unavailable for englands world cup

[ono]

exactly my reason for banging him over to the left side

Gerrard plays that interchanging centre midfield role for liverpool briiliantly, i just dont buy this whole gerrard-lampard cannot work thing.

Gerrards the superior player anyway and we`ve more than enough talent on the right with young, milner, wright-phillips and dare i even say beckham.

James
Johnson(if not G Neville), Terry, Ferdinand, Cole (if not barry)
Young, Gerrard, Lampard, ?
Rooney, Cole


surely??

Barry is too slow to play left back. He's filled in a few times for us and looked dodgy.

Tell you what though, i'd take Adam Johnson in a flash. He's looked top quality for us. Good with both feet, got pace and skills and decent strength. Top quality delivery from free-kicks and corners. He's really impressed me. He's looked much better than SWP has anyway.

Great shout that do you think he could play on the left? Looks good from what I have seen of him, very quick and tricky reminds a bit of Valencia what I have seen of him.

I don't think SWP has got a hope of going thats probably our strongest posistion the right side, but I think Johnson could do a job on the left if needed, Cole has been shocking this season Downing not good enough imo and looks like Gerrard will be playing there.

But I do like Johnson.

He can play on either flank. He's spent just as much time on the right as he has on the left for us. He's even played centrally. He's just a really good footballer with a lot of pace and trickery. He offers something different so that's why i'd take him.
