Because we changed formation to a back 4 which Johnson looks lost in but suits James. Otherwise I’d agree Johnson over James, just not if you’re playing that system.
I agree with you, no need to tear him down. But I think it’s the mixed messages, he seemed to be very pro Xisco, even when he was sacked. Now he’s saying what we all knew to be the truth anyway. Just seems a bit 2 faced.
2 votes for Valentin? Goes to show how differently people see the game, I thought he offered very little and was scared to carry the ball when he had space in front of him. Marvin was our best player today by a clear margin in my opinion.
Don’t get me wrong Di Piedi’s was glorious but…taking the blue tinted specs off, in terms of technique garnacho’s was way more difficult to pull of and is the better goal in my opinion. He’s running back away from the goal and rifling it back across goal from an angle. Di piedi set himself up and was central in the goal ‘just’ had a straight shot at it.
Immediate success? I don’t think our fan base demands that at all. I think we just don’t appreciate going backwards through glaringly obvious poor decisions off the pitch.
