Adam Johnson's Borrowed Time

[carlos tevez is a blue]

He had a good game against Fulham in the snow.

 

[Freestyler]

Not good enough.

Chance after chance after chance, still no improvement.

I'm surprised he made HT last night.

Poor again last night wasnt suprised he got took off i'd be tempted to get rid in the summer, the lad is goin backwards not improving has done all season

His decision making is woeful at times, we know he can beat his man on the outside and put decent low crosses into danger areas so why does he cut inside so often and either run straight into trouble or try one of his "hail mary" shots, of which about 1 in 10 hit the target?

He's still better value at £7m than Downing at £20m but it isn't much consolation.

Playing on the 'wrong wing' is no longer working for two reasons imo.

Firstly, the opposition's half and penalty area is crowded because teams are sitting so deep against us, so when he cuts onto his strong side, he's basically running into players.

Secondly, teams are doubling and even tripling up on him. There isn't much he can do in that scenario.

It's up to Mancini to try and use him in a more effective manner.....like on the left for example.

Looked promising a year or two ago...but now looks like he belongs more in a mid-table side than a title chasing one.

He's been moved to the left a few times during games and if anything he was even worse.

shit get rid, iv'e started to dislike his song aswell.

to be honest I think he's fed up with Mancini having a go at him all the time, first half yesterday the whole team was poor, unfair to single any one person out as they were all bad, but Mancini was still shouting and waving his arms at him in particular, think its got to the point now where he switches off and ignores him. Spends most of his time now covering Micah, see him in our own half more than the opposition hlaf, and when he does get the ball the other team have doubled up on him and make sure he can't cut back on his left foot.

So completely agree he's been poor for some time now, but think he is cutting a frustrated figure and I do think Mancini singles him out, sometimes unfairly, that said though Mancini is the boss, so whatever he says goes.

Johnno is one of the best impact players we have.
coming off the bench with 20min to go is what he should be doing every game.

When he starts, he seems to struggle.
He affects the game better when defenders are not use to himand have been facing a different style of player.
