Sepp Blatter Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 This is the reason Johnson should be sacked! Defensive collapse and your best fully fit defender is eating birthday cake at home. Please go Johnson, please go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Why has he not even travelled? If Flint or Wright pull up in the warm up, surely he comes straight into the starting line up?....oh wait no. pathetic from johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What frustrates me is the seemingly arbitrary nature of players disappearing out the squad for no apparent reason. Similar thing with Bobby Reid. I know we don't see everything that goes on on the training pitch and there may be more to it than meets the eye but it just seems like good players being left out with no clear reason as to why.

I'm blaming LJ for a lot of things at the moment but I don't agree with this. If Magnusson isn't in the squad, it seems like the decent human thing to excuse him from travelling to sit in the stands on his birthday. He's a young guy from Iceland in a country he only moved to 6 months ago. Ensuring he has a decent birthday is the one sensible bit of management psychology that LJ achieved today.

This is professional football. You don't give someone their birthday off, when you're in a relegation battle and he's your next best defender bar the starting back 4, and even that's debateable!

He is an employee of the club and therefore he should be present with the squad on a matchday. We don't pay him to eat cake on a Saturday afternoon. Leaving a player at home does nothing to foster team spirit, unity and togetherness. It's bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. He should have been in the squad, obviously. What I mean from my post above is - given he was not in the squad , I can see the logic in LJ letting him stay home.

I see what you mean Fevs but if his mum and dad and siblings have travelled all the way from Iceland to visit him and he was sat on a plastic seat hundreds of miles away, I'd feel for the poor sod. I still think he's had a row with LJ/Pembo/Holden to be out the squad so long... not ITK, just a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider_boy Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I do think he should have travelled, as someone else said, what if a defender got injured in the warm up? I just hope he has been told he is having a few weeks off as a mid-season break, given that it was apparently not intended for him to play so many games as he has so far.

Surely he'd elaborate on that though. He must know that if he says that he is 100% fit but not being picked then people are going to wonder why.

robin_unreliant Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Leaving him out is inexcusable. He is one of our best players. I would sack Johnson for this decision on its own - never mind all the other massive crass mistakes he keeps making. Get someone in who can recognise a class player and make good use of him. LJ really is getting right on my ti** now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge1981 Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 He's obviously fallen I think it's quite clear that Mags and LJ have had a falling out. Fair enough to drop him from starting lineup (if LJ thinks he isn't performing). There is no way he wouldn't make the squad especially when we let Moore go or on loan.
