Roy Hodgson not impressed with defender Glen Johnson

Glen Johnson is facing an uncertain Liverpool future after having his England credentials called into question by his club manager Roy Hodgson.

The Liverpool boss said: 'The big thing with Glen Johnson is whether he is fit enough to play any part at Stoke. That is the major question, rather than the selection process, because he is England's right back, and if he plays like an England right back, you would expect him to get his place back.

'But he would have to be playing like an England right back for that to happen, and up to now this season, to be quite frank, he has not performed at the level you would expect. Not very often, anyway.

'The reasons? You would have to ask him that. Perhaps you should ask him, "Do you think you are playing at the top of your form? Do you think you are really performing like the best right back in the country when you play for your club?" If the answer is "yes", then we will have to agree to differ. If it is "no", you could ask him why not.'
