This isn't anything new with Johnson, he's always been a poor defender and made blatant errors but has usually had someone to cover for him. When he doesn't, he's shown to be the liability he is.
Going forward, I've often though of him as overrated anyway. He has a decent strike on him and scores the occasional great goal which has people drooling over him. But he's not great at passing, his crossing leaves a lot to be desired and his tracking back from attacking positions is almost non-existent. He loses the ball then casually jogs rather than breaking his bollocks to get back in position.
I really hope he is sold. I just wonder who the F**k would want him. Most teams couldn't afford him because we'd want a big price and the teams who can afford him clearly aren't interested.
