I can't now see why anyone would have any remained faith in Adam Johnson.
He's not had a performance that could even be stated as 'good' for over a year.
This isn't knee-jerk, it's been going on for a very long time, and tonight was yet another example.
He's got talent, we've all seen it, but he looks lazy, effortless and generally he's done nothing for a very long time in a blue shirt. The occasional goal when a game is sealed doesn't quite cut it either. He needs to improve massively and we need to sign a winger that will actually cross the ball and take men on, before Johnson no longer does either.
I WISH we could have that lad we signed 2 years ago who literally couldn't wait to take 2 or 3 men on, the lad who won penalties because no-one could see which way he was going, but he's disappeared. Stephen Ireland syndrome.
