A goal every five games at international level isn't bad at all.

For the record, I didn't think Jonson was appalling on the right - he wasn't detrimental to the team in the way that (say) JJ is (i.e. he could tackle, and play basic passes on the ground to a team-mate).

However, he added absolutely nothing most of the time - never took on his man and never really shot, or crossed. Which is (basically) what Hendo gets criticised for. You have to wonder what Worthy says to the poor bugger who gets landed with the RW slot, don't you?
