But you've already stated he's a 'complete nothing player' so you're only going to see the mistakes he makes to confirm your view. We all do it, I like Johnson so I see the good things he does in a game. Some get a little entrenched in their opinions of players. Perfectly capable of being objective and not suffering from confirmation bias… he’s just useless. No agenda, just my opinion. I’d have no problem congratulating him if he’d played well but he doesn’t affect the game, albeit scoring a penalty last night. His general play is poor in terms of being an attacking threat. No problem with him being in the squad as a backup as it’s not like he’s making mistake after mistake, but he’s a sensationally average footballer and we won’t achieve much with him starting as an attacking midfielder. Very good at penos though with his Karate kid run up which is ironic because in open play the number of times he turns down a shooting opportunity is infuriating.

How come you come back on here mate? Most people were hoping you fucked off for good ? Most people just block him for a sane life. Easy. Most people are now agreeing with stuff I was saying in May. What planet do you actually live on 🤣

Must admit I was like WTF when I saw he was taking it. Not even sure I think it was great, it was one of them that looks really stupid when it gets saved. Prefer a driven penalty myself.

Crazy how one man's 4 is another man's 7 when watching the same game! Personally, when judging DJ's performance, I lean more towards those giving him a 4. I really don't see what tangible effect he has on the team - complete nothing player. He's nowhere near forward-thinking or creative enough to warrant taking up that role, and offers little defensively. I must admit - prior to signing him I didn't really know too much about him but I find myself very unimpressed. Bae should be in there and given a good run of games to allow himself to fully bed in. He's infinitely better than Johnson. I’m in the 4 club. I just don’t like AN’s idea of an AM or most advanced midfielder. That said I think Junho looks like he’s been drained of confidence. Where is Haksabanovic I’d play him there if fit. Campbell and Vidigal either side and I’d have to go with Lowe up top for now, all our senior CF are wank.

Johnson did fuck all bar score the penalty.
He’s a runner who offers nothing with the ball.
It’s painful to watch.

There's not one stoke player who affects the game in a positive way at the moment but Johnson is one player who does try and play early forward balls and defends high up the pitch. He's no world beater but is an easy target for people who seem to prefer a safer sideways and backwards passer of the ball in midfield. If you are playing with a CAM then they should arguably be your main creative outlet. If you were to list all of the attributes required for that role, Johnson doesn't possess any of them. I don't think it's agenda-driven, I wouldn't personally consider him an 'easy target' either. Perhaps it's nothing more complex than the fact that a lot of fans have watched him play an awful lot this season without really doing much...

I think it’s just like watching Smallbone with a paint job and a wig.

I'd probably be a little more forgiving if he was being played as a CM. I just think he offers absolutely nothing in that position at all - he's a very, very limited player. As for the strikers... I'm struggling too! Not sold on Mmaee does somethings really well but I don't see a goalscorer there
