You obviously watch the ball & not the player then. (admittedly it's harder on a computer screen)
His work rate & movement of the ball is exceptional. The pressing & chasing down of defenders & defending from the front is so important in the modern game.

I’m not knocking him.

If he keeps on scoring a goal a game, he’s my first name down on the team sheet as well. I’ll take that all season long, thank you very much.

But he still hasn’t been playing well.

RedO, liked your first few comments but that last line shows you just dont get it. At the moment he's a second division striker and at this present time he is quality.
I know your not knocking him but i dont really see what more you want him to do. If he had to change anything to be "playing good" in your thoughts, maybe he would lose the lethal finisher that he has become.
What is it that will make him "playing well" in your eyes...AW same question?

If we're going to say that its secretly number 2's running things (which is weird because I thought you liked to moan that was Ling) then it seems RE has himself a championship under his belt already

I’ve still yet to see Johnson have a good game.

You are one miserable sod.

Think you're missing the point.

He hasn't had a good game but its pretty clear he's the type of player that doesn't really do much for 89 minutes and then pops up with a winner. I think we'll all take that.

Churlish to say he's not had a good game yet when he closes people down and makes good runs off the ball clearly some just don't get that, not sure what people expect, his finishing so far has been very good.

Biggest compliment I can pay Johnson is that he reminds me so much of Peter Kitchen who had very little presence or impact outside the penalty area but was a natural goalscorer and if he got a chance odds on he would put it away.
