just heard he's injured his knee ... might be a good stretch of time out.

I think this is gonna have a huge affect on them. Don't think he's a superstar but I always rated him as a RB, and more importantly I think he's a big part of their team ... especially as their squad is so thin.

Anyone else thinks this is gonna be the thing that seals their departure from the top4? Or am I thinking this is bigger than it is?

Indeed, been one of there best players this season.

Good for us I guess, but a shame for the player.

Great news, hope Gerrard & Torres follow.

I think to say it seals there departure from the top 4 is a bit extreme, but it will have an effect on them as he has been one of there top players this year.

Torres is the walking dead and Gerrard not far behind. There fucked.

Guess its a little bit of good news for us after all the injurys we had this season.

Great news for us, shame for a player that's had a really good season and is a top right back

I think him being out will actually do them a favour. Liverpool usually play with a very strong back 4 who don't get to far past the half way line, enabling them to cover the slower players they have at CB. Johnson likes to get forward leaving them a little sparse at the back allowing teams to get them on the counter. With him out they will sure up at the back and let the midfield players to do the job he would have.

agreed. not sure this is good for us. after a nice start to the season he has been a liability more recently.
his defending is much like micah's. he blows hot and cold.

Injured defender - get the check book out now

yeah they'll just bring someone in in january. maicon or sergio ramos oh yeah they can't cos they're skint UNLUCKY see you in next years FA cup we'll bring Torres and Gerrard back for a run out ha ha

Its not good news for the national team. Our full back situation was patcy enough as it is (unless peeps on here think they can persuade me that Richards deserves the nod?)

If I were a scouse fan I would rather have johnson's shit def/good att than whoever his backup is who is surely shit def/ shit att
