I used to laugh at my Liverpool supporting mate about how shit Johnson was. Then he made me look stupid by signing for us and now he's made look like an even bigger prick by being brilliant

Superb passer of the ball and a lot better defensively for us than I (and a lot of others) thought he would be. I'm disappointed he's turned out to be an excellent signing. I desperately wanted to hate him!! I have to agree, signing of the summer, now he's settled in.

He's been great yeah, I wasn't excited at the prospect of him playing for us but he's proven a lot of us wrong.

I actually think he is the best English right back at the moment!

He has been superb for us all season. He's solid defensively and gives us so many options when going forward. An experienced pro and a decent footballer. When you think that full-backs such as Luke Shaw and Tyrone Mears cost a combined fee of £38M we got a great deal.
Johnson has always been a quality player and only received negative criticism at Liverpool as he was on a ridiculous weekly wage of £120k. Thus making him a scapegoat.
Long may his good performances continue

The problem with some people on here is they have not come close to playing football at decent level.
Which is why you get fools saying Wollschild is shit, Johnson is shit etc

One of only two genuine England quality defenders on the pitch today.

Thing with Johnson is we got him too late. We got Crouch too late. hithertoo we miss out on the top stars in their prime. Waddo used to squeeze the lemon but its different today. Maybe Bojan, Arnie, Aff are starting a trend

He was good today and has generally been very good but I think a few have forgotten about the Palace game.
He was terrible against (an admittedly very good) Bolasie.

The first goal was beautiful. A chorus of "You fat bastard" from the Londoners. Swiftly followed by Memphis Depay impersonating an under 6 girl attempting to head the ball for the first time. Swiftly followed by Mr Fat Bastard neatly pulling the ball back. Swiftly followed by the little Spanish genius sticking the ball in the net. FOOTBALLING POETRY!!!! It was "scouse bastard" actually but the rest is correct. Heard it as "fat bastard" myself but the best bit was after the goal when Glen gave it to the shit fans big time!! Pumping fists!! Rubbing his belly!! Straddled by the beautiful Bojan!! A moment of real beauty

I've said it before and I'll happily say it again: I was really disappointed that we signed Glen this summer. A has-been from a has-been club. Oh'boy - did he prove me wrong. He's been a solid performer the whole season, though. He's been solid at the back and has linked up extremely well at the wing. Today just highlights his contribution to the team. I just can't understand that L'pool let him go at all.

Signing him was a stroke of pure genius from MH. Hughes has proved himself a shrewd operator in the transfer market.

Not seen a thread on him recently. Think he has been a real touch of class and made a huge difference to our style and shape. Long may it continue. Oh yes becoming a player we can count on great defender and shows skill in his attack with his vision. Wonderful addition

A lot of credit for the 1st goal , a lot of players wouldn't have bothered chasing Depay and putting him under pressure and then he has the composure to look up and pick out Bojan

My sincere apologies to Glen Johnson. What a superb player he is. I don't often make negative comments about players we are about to sign but I have done it twice. The first was Kenwyne Jones and the other was Glen Johnson. Even though I was proved right with KJ I couldn't have been more wrong with Glen.
