remember thinking it looked that way yesterday, Johnson on a few occasions

decided to maintain shape rather than chase around making tackles. Not often I disagree with Holtamania but that's the problem with those kind of stats at times. Those tackles Johnson made against WBA don't show the effectiveness of them.

When Rooney plays for England he never maintains shape, it's so frustrating to watch, so when he gets the ball, there's nobody taking up his position.

What I do agree with is how well rounded Wes is compared to our other midfielders, Pilks is 2nd best for me.
