WorrallOwl17 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Think it puts to bed any of the rumours about why he was left out after Boro to be honest. He was everywhere yesterday, intercepting crosses on the back post and doing the defensive work then popping up with crosses and a goal, was an exemplary performance on how to play as a wing back. Him and Pol are immense in this system and anyone questioning his attitude and desire probably feel a bit daft after yesterday 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbo48 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 He’s an enigma , isn’t he ? Theres days you want to slap him cos he looks like he can’t be a***d and other days he shows sheer brilliance like that . No matter where he was on the pitch yesterday he was outstanding . No wonder fans ..and managers get frustrated by him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to watch though Yeah he was nowhere to been seen for there goal....only needs a move to break down with him going forward and he's stuffed if no one is covering . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To send it back over a diving keeper across goal was clever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There in lies the weakness in 5 at the back. If the wingbacks are up field and the team is caught on a break, the fullback positions are vulnerable.

Assuming Johnson hasn't been instructed to stop making runs like he did yesterday for the goal (I'd expect he's actually encouraged to, same goes with Pol), then it's the team's responsibility to drop in and cover his position while he's attacking. He can't be blamed for not being in two places at once. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 He can be inconsistent, but Johnson is also a potential match-winner, capable of turning a game in our favour with a tremendous run, shot, or cross. We don't have loads of them in our squad, which made the stick he got from some a few weeks ago utterly baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umeeksk Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Doesn't look 33 in that clip does he? Him and Bannan still have a great motor despite being well into their 30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a team effort that. They all switched off not just him. He also made a fantastic overhead clearance too in the later stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think he switched off and dont blame him for the goal .what I'm saying is if you play with wing backs and there forward then if we suddenly lose possession and no ones covering theres going to be a gaping gap down the side and that shouldn't happen if everyone does ther job . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
