FFS! Can someone tell me one positive play Johnson made. I want just ONE. ANy play you remember. If you can't remember, MAKE IT UP! I really need someone to tell me what impact the most wasteful player on the field had, that made enough people on the site rate him as one of the best performers.c.morales said:I dont see how Boyota is getting much hate,when in reality he defended really well,just didnt do anything offensively. as for kolorav, one of the most active dudes on the pitch and really doesnt deserve all the mad hate.seriously,he really doesnt serve to be the scapegoat tonight. did a mix of good and bad,but definitely NOT the worst player on the pitch. as for Milner and yaya...wow...just wow. talk about non-factors on the pitch. barry? just another usual poor performance, but again,NOT the worst in the pitch. Dzeko was not there, seriously,didnt do much,but can we really blame him when he had no one of use in midfield and his striker partner and him (mario) have zero chemistry/ seriously,they had 0 chemist!y.Lescott had no impact on the game,neither positive or negative. he stud his ground. Johnson was in my opinion one of the best in the pitch along with kompany, active and the only ones setting a spark in their side of the pitch. poorest player today? hate to say it,but id probably have to give it to my boy Hart.Felt like he couldve done more to stop that 1st goal. the kuyt goal was 50-50 , and in the caroll header wasnt much the poor guy can do,but again, not kolorav's fault either, as the defense was completely lost (CB's).well,that's my 2 cents on the game.

Really. I can mention good plays from Yaya, Barry, Kolarov, Komps, Boyatta, even Milner (albeit just one), and Hart. But I do not remember any plays from AJ. How he is not being mentioned as one of if not the poorest performer befuddles me.
Please, ANYONE!! Just one positively ending play from Johnson all nite. Just one!!!
Exactly! This is not a spark. Just poor decision making. He ran himelf into 3 defenders and lost it to Skrtel. On 2 other occasions he ran it out of play. These are just poor decisions and not positive plays. ANnoyingly, he was commended by the commentators for these dumb runs. It seems he gets judged on what he could 'potentially do' as opposed to what the outcome of what he 'IN FACT DID'.JamesA said:He did look to be one of our only sparks to me. Committed his man a couple of times. Had one chance where he got in the box after beating 2 men but Skrtel did well to cover it or he was in. Overall though was pretty poor.
Really!! Is this rated on a sliding curve based on those you like? Coz surely this couldn't be based on the performance on the pitch.Rushton121 said:Hart - 4

Boyata not comfortable playing down the right no help from Johnson 5
Kolarov Kuyt was working hard down the right and it caused him problems. 5
Lescott looked poor tonight the worst he has played since he got back in. 6
Kompany like Lescott couldnt get to grips with Liverpool attack. 6
Johnson bright first half when he got the ball nothing in the second half poor. 5
Milner not his best in the first half but second half he looked better and I was surprised to see him being taken off in the centre he looked miles better. 5
Barry him and Yaya playing together is a no go Spearing put it up to both and he is shit. He blocked a couple of shots but never looked like bossing the midfield 5.
Yaya same as above 5.
Dzeko no service for him to look good and at times held the ball up well. 5
Tevez not on long enough to rate.
Balotelli offered not a lot tonight playing him on the wing was a waste. 5
Silva tried to pull the strings but not a lot of movement ahead.
Mancini, clueless tonight to make as many changes to a winning side and not change it when it wasnt working is mind blowing. He has to take the blame. Liverpool had a kid playing right back and not once was Johnson put up against him. Makes me think what the fuck Kidd and Platt do say during the game as someone should of said something to him. 4
Hard to disagree with this.
