[Liberation]

Aye I'd say his best position was in front of the midfield and behind a front 2 which is not seemingly going to happen under Neil at all. He just doesn't suit the high pressing game does he? Its a bugger really as I think he's a cracking player when played to his strengths.

And he probably agrees with you.... Which is the root of the problem.

No; we need to stop blaming Johnson's poor performances over the last couple of years due to being played out of position.

There are serious flaws in his effort levels, his production and his technical ability. He's is one footed and lacks the ball retention skills and lateral quickness of a true number 10 at this level. His passing is either wasteful or sideways and finally he's the first player to go missing when the going gets tough.

£15k a week would be an absurd waste of wages

Agree with most of this Sam but when he can be bothered (not often), he can shift and is probably one of our quickest players.

But if something came in of say, 3M, I'd have him straight out the door if we had a suitable replacement.

Not denying he's quick when he sprints in a straight line. But working a yard of space in a tight window- not done it regularly for two and a half years.

Maybe we should pay him by the amount of mud he gets on his shirt after the game, sometimes i wonder if his mom still washes his shirts and tells him not to get stains on it.
