surprised no one has commented onJohnsons role in all three of their goals. First one he simply failed to close that guy down when he had time to do so, Second, he dived in without a prayer of making contact with the ball on the half way line, in fact he should have hauled him down. Third he went all lazy again and never marked the scorer before the ball was played in, he simply stopped and left two men for Skertel. Oh dear he then Tweeta fans are stupid for their critique of him and the defending
Johnson has been playing as a winger actually and he probably doesn't have the fitness to do both. I would agree that he could/should have been braver on the first goal, on the second, there was just too much space in our half and usually you don't let attackers have the opportunity to be one on one, so here IMO it's more about our defensive system, and on the 3rd goal Skrtl panicked and went in no man's land on the cross.
It's true that these were defensive mistakes but for the 2nd and 3rd goal, it was because we had no midfielder defending at all and there was too much space in our half. We should defend as a team and not only rely on our defenders to do all the defending, this is how it is in modern football.
