its easy to say 3 different managers haven't played him there. but how well has he actually played at right back? i think we can all agree he has under performed for a £17.5m player, no?
we lack a major dimension of trickery and pace down both flanks and johnson has that in his game unlike static players like kuyt and maxi. probably the only player in the squad who can take people on out wide and beat them. on his day his attacking game is great to watch but he is poor defensively. so to ignore that is a bit silly.
but right now he is more than needed at fullback with the departure of konchesky.
