Alistair Johnston

I was out walking the dogs and trying to type at the same time


Not easy

 

Not enough is being made that the week before he properly pulled it that he felt it go in a game and pulled up holding it but eventually played on

And of course the following week it went completely

So it is really worrying that he pulled it again during his first game back

 

Brendan has previous at us of not caring about damaging players if he won’t be around to deal with the consequences. Tierney, a lot of his problems are directly on Rodgers shoulders, he robbed him of a very top level career by doing so IMO. While using the excuse he asked a young KT if hr could play and he said yes. Of * course he would, the experienced manager with a sports science team should be protecting him from that not asking and shifting blame to him.

He also gave Rogic injections, to play against teams like Dundee. Rogic missed the full next season outwith a small handful of games due to that. And that was devastating. It took two full seasons for him to recover, and that was because Ange made sure to, and knew him and what he needed well already. And he was a major reason we won that league.

He was a big miss struggling for fitness losing the 10. It’s down to a checked out Rodgers. And thats not just at us that, he done it with Sturridge at Liverpool as well

 

He’s away for surgery on Tuesday

 

Ah *.

 

The scans have shown a tear


So likely out a while

 

Quotes from Martin’s interview

On Johnston, he added: "They had to wait a while for his hamstring, just to get a clear picture on it. Scans have shown a tear. It's really sad because everybody says he's a rally, really good player."

 

So both AJ and Osmand going for surgery?

 

Aye mate both on Tuesday

 

* unbelievable.

 

Same as Kyogo and turnbull had that’s 4-5 months minimum

 

The fact we rushed him back is criminal..

I know the player himself needs to take some of that responsibility but * * it was an awful decision

 

Martin, can I just clarify, you said Alistair Johnston is going for surgery on Tuesday?

Absolutely. They found out that they had to wait a little while for his hamstring, just to get a clear picture of the x-rays or the scans, and that's shown a tear as well, too. So, that's really sad, because, I mean, everybody says he's a really, really good player.

 

A full season of Ralston at right back is chronic.

 

Agreed, but it's not just Rodgers that has done this. All our recent managers have.

 

* you Rodgers.

 

That’s horrendous I thought he was meant to be not far away. So that will be Johnston, CCV, Jota and Osmand now all missing significant proportions of the season.

 

A RB required in the window

 

Osmand had already missed significant portions of the season as he wasn't in the squad.

 

Yeah that’s true for different reasons but in the brief glimpses we saw he looked to have something about him.

It’s pretty unlucky to have even just 3 key players miss about 5 months of a season or more. Then factor in injuries to Trusty, Sarrachi, Iheanacho and Maeda who have all missed games.
