For me what really lets him down is the fact that when he goes forward (which I think he is very good at) and then loses the ball he seems at times to 'amble' back into position, whereas Clichy/Zaba tend to sprint back and then rest once there
It's a small/minor thing but I think it makes him look lazy sometimes
This is why Mancini has begun using him in a back 5 (right hand side of the 3) for the last 10-15 mins of games to curb his enthusiasm going forward
Still think he is better than Johnson especially with Milner in front of him!!
