Regarding Johnson, lazy is the wrong word. He certainly didn't offer a lot when we didn't have the ball for a time, which is fair enough, that's not his natural game, and you can accept that if he comes up with the goods when we do have it. My view 18 months ago was that he needed to at least do a bit more in terms of covering space etc because he was offering nowhere near enough when we did have the ball. He was a fairly unluxurious luxury player and I'd lost patience.
Happy to admit I was wrong. Evidently moving him forward gets him better involved and, better yet, he now offers more in terms of pressing, covering space etc too. Great credit to him and I'm delighted to hold up my hands and announce myself as the clueless cock-end that i am.
