Here's a chance for all of you "johnson's wank" merchants to fess up and say you were wrong, guilt free.
It just goes to prove we can all watch football for 40 years and still be fucking clueless.
Come you moaners... man up...
Ps i thought palacios was a great signing, so you're all less blind than me!

Was very worried after the Cologne game where he had his pants down.
Very good today.

I was wrong jeffer! I'm beginning to think 50 odd caps for England might count for something

I saw a different Johnson to the rest of you it seems. He got in good positions and is obviously technically good but I thought his decision making and final ball were more often poor....and he missed a sitter.
If I see him play well I will come on here and say so but I thought today he was average at best but then again so were most players on show today.Like I said on another thread I thought both teams were ring rusty.

He'll have terrible games too, don't worry fellas! Think he's a bit all or nothing as a player. Up against a very poor Lallana and a left back no one's even heard of today. I say all this as someone who's delighted he's with us, but it bares mentioning.

But for someone who cant defend, he mopped up everything first half... or did you miss that as well? :-)

If I see anything different now I get to see him every week I'll be sure to let you know

Did some good things today but had opportunities to deliver a lot more quality crosses than he did which hopefully will come with games , still felt he took a chance defensively at times so will be a good one to watch but if he builds on today he will be an asset for us

I thought he was pretty shit in the second half.....
In the first half he was immaculate it's got to be said.
In the second though he tried to nick the ball in front of the attacker too many times and got turned 4/5 times doing the same thing, which was worrying.
Decent enough debut though, like the above though I expected a bit more going forward.

Did very well, especially with the ineffectual Walters in front of him. We need a right winger NOW.

I thought him and mainly Adam were our worst players by a country mile today. I expected Walters to make mincemeat of a young left back too but he firmly won the battle.

Thought he should have scored, but other than that very impressive debut.

It's pretty obvious isn't it. Every year there's a group that slag off the players before they even kick the ball, or say we will do shit based on pre-season performances. Johnson had a good game, hopefully he can continue doing that, have to remember the season has only just begun.

His crossing was a bit toss but apart from that I can't complain.

Played well first half but got caught a bit 2nd half, although still seemed to keep getting forward. Him and Diouf need to work get some more game time together so they can build an understanding together for the crosses. He did put a good ball in the box first half to the back post but Diouf had stopped and wasn't going for it. This kind of thing will come with game time.
