Kuyt: Johnson one of the best

24 September 2009 15:16
Striker Dirk Kuyt believes summer signing Glen Johnson has provided Liverpool with a different emphasis this season. The England defender, who moved from Portsmouth in the summer, has probably been the Merseysiders' best player so far, scoring twice and providing a much-needed cutting edge from right-back. Johnson, 25, may yet have to win over critics who are sceptical about his defensive strengths but there are no doubts over his ability as an attacking force. "I think Glen has done really well," said Kuyt. "He was a big signing for us but he has shown straight from the start that he is very important - both defensively and in attack. "He has scored some very good goals and provided some assists. He is probably one of the best players in the team so far this season. He is still young and I think he will only get better and better."
