Block 122 East Lower, 2nd row - love it there, but have to pay full price.
You literally sit opposite from me, I *was* Block 122 row 2 - I keep forgetting this...

You prefer to be on TV - I prefer to hurl abuse at Ange or the Players :D

I remember one time we were chanting some toxic shit to the Man United players & some in the box were looking at us like...

:mourshock:

some fans in that box are fuddy duddies :D
 
I feel like people would have way less of an issue with it if we played in a system that accounted for it and covered for the fact that he doesn't do much more than score.

It isn't a 1 for 1 comparison. But look at Liverpool right now. Salah even spoke about it after our game last week that he and Slot sat down and figured out a way for them to play that didn't require Salah to take part in most of the defending. Their current system is built to get the most out of his as possible in attack. And letting the rest focus on defending.

Our system (or lack of one) is not set up to allow Johnson (or anyone) to coast on defence. In fact, he's expected to cover for Pedro when Pedro goes running upwards.
It your missing one import tho g salahs hold up play and technical skill far out way Johnson. When salah has the ball he keeps it, hard to get ball off him and he normally lays it on for someone else. Also his numbers far out weigh Johnson’s even at 33. Remember Johnson is still young.
 
Give him a fucking break. He's not pulling up trees but he's doing what we want and need, which is getting on the end of things.

I'm sure it's hip to slag him off but I like the guy and not only want him to do well, I think he will too.
But it means all threat comes down the left and nothing from the right unless Porro swings one in. How about him creating a tap in for Son, Tel Richi on the left.

I'd like to give him a fucking break!!! Look, I get it... its not his fault we spunked 50m on him... that fee is outrageous and we do this a lot. He profits from serious good work down the left but when do we ever see serious good work down the right? Unless Porro is beating three men and swinging in a cross the creativity on the right is non existent.
 
Maybe but I’d still like to see what he could do in a new system etc.

If it doesn’t work, there’s always January.

Said before, I find it hard to judge players under the dribbling fuckwit currently managing us

ATM he’s a possible impact sub!

Full stop.

If another manager can get a tune out of him then nobody would be happier than me but I just don’t think that he’s got the desire!

Hey man, I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you.

I'm just saying that I would like to see if he can improve under a competent manager in a sensible system in his favoured position.

You're probably right re desire. Let's just see. If we sell him in the summer, I won't shed a tear either. I'm just interested to see what a managerial/system change does, that's all.
