NoelJ wrote: » Am I the only one who still rates Johnson? He's quite an attacking full back so he's always going to be the scapegoat when there is a counter attack. I think he's quite good actually in defence whenever hes needed. Definitely has turned into an underrated player.

Then cut in left some more, and a bit more till he over runs and loses position and we are open to being countered. Lost count how often it happened it lately with him

It happened with Sterling (alot wanted him out on loan),Skrtel,Henderson & Enrique( who was playing with a long standing Knee injury). Lucas is now also getting some disgraceful treatment on twitter too. Its a new season give Johnson a chance first to regain his form. A little bit of patience is required to see if it is a loss of form or a decline in Johnson.
