    True, but he had a direct part in both of our goals. I'll forgive a few passes for a goal and assist in a 2-0 win.

    Aye, agreed. He always seems to get better as the game goes on and the opposition tire, allowing him to utilize his stamina.

    Still does what nobody else in our side does.
    Scores, assits and gets penalties.
    Our most important player by 1 and a half lightyear.

    I disagree, I thought he lacked that final cutting pass but that's not easy to do when the pitch is like that, so he done what he could and hassled the opposition to * and tracked back when he needed to, he didn't do anything special but he ran himself into the ground for us today

    I think he's a cracking player, but thought he was poor tonight and actually think he's been pretty poor in most of the games so far this season. His goals have masked that though. His final ball was really bad tonight but the pitch can't have helped him though.
    The one thing you can absolutely guarantee from him though, is 100%, he'll run himself into the ground even when things aren't going well so you have to commend him for that.

    Thought he played well and gave everything. Was shattered by the end.

    Not playing as well as the end of last season but I remember it took him a while to get going last term as well.

    I didn't think he was great tonight, must say.

    One thing you can say about him though is that he never goes hiding. Always puts a shift in and nearly managed to grab himself a goal.

    He is beginning to get the knack of playing */below par and still popping up at crucial moments. Just a bit unlucky tonight.

    He was making lung bursting runs right near the end. I don't know where he gets his energy from.

    Not the only one but his end product was just lacking. Been a slowish start in that respect but on the evidence of 2/3's of last season, it won't be far off until it's all clicking..

    He is a ready made Champions League level footballer, we are not overrun with them.

    He will be a massive player for us should we get there.

    I would agree he has been off the mark so far but has still chipped in with a goal on Saturday and was a slow starter last season also.

    I think its because we have a high expectation from Johansen thus the reason why everyone it saying he was poor. I think he did well, he ran all night and got stuck in when needed. To be honest, I think our midfield 3 (Brown, Bitton, Johanson) bossed the midfield and were quite comfortable throughout the game. It was in the final third where we were poor.

    Yep, was cursing his name in the first half and praising it in the second.

    I don't get what the agenda is with Stefan, I thought he was excellent too. Not only does he provide in terms of goals and assists. But every single game he works hard, he runs his socks off, he's good in transitions and he's always creating chances for us. Not to mention he's completely vital to our pressing game ans central to the style Ronny wants to play. He's essentially given a free role in the middle of the park and he produces 9 games out of 10 for me. He's absolute quality.
