the wes 7,212 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Portsmouth assistant boss Tony Adams believes former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho never rated Glen Johnson. Adams said: "I don't think Mourinho fancied him and it got through to the player. You've got to be careful as a coach not to give things away. What we've done is love him to bits. He has been better going forward than defensively but there have been a couple of games where he's been first class as a defender." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,539 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I think we all guessed that from the way he played one game for us and went back to Pompy lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True_Blue 469 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Jose bought load of players that didnt make it and sold the one's we actually needed. Proof: Needed players: Gudjohnsen Duff Johnson Tiago The one's that didn't cut it: Gudjohnsen Duff Johnson Tiago Jarosik Smertin Kezman etc.....

EskWeston 696 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I think it was obvious Jose didn't fancy Johnson. Which was a shame because i though he was still a cracking player, and even pre season thought he did enough to earn his place in the team. Still, these things happen..

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Right back has always been a problem for us over the last ten or so years. We've had great full-backs who are quality defenders but poor going forward and the exact opposite - tis is true of Belletti and Ferreira, and Johnson was much the same. Brilliant in attack but lacking defensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
