    Lovely flick when it looked like the pass was a bit wayward towards him.

    Much better recently.

    Both are massive exaggerations.

    To be fair the kid just flew to Australia and back, training 10 days, playing and scoring in both games. Didn't arrive back till late Thursday/Early Friday. Ronny started him, maybe the reason? Did set up Paddy's first goal also, and was man marked yesterday, for good reason

    He looked a bit better yesterday, and looks a lot more comfortable playing slightly further forward.

    I thought he was good yesterday. He played the captains role after they scored by urging our players on. He put in some good tackles and was everywhere. Great to see him play like that. :50:

    Even when he's not playing well, he gives 100% he always tries and gives everything. I would have a few of our players out of the team before him.

    Great to see him back playing well again.

    His work rate is unmatched ,but that has always been his main attribute . During that long bad spell he had ,his passing and decision making was atrocious.

    Lately,though , it seems like he manged to clear his head and regain that much needed confidence.
    He looks much more composed on the ball of late ,doesn't rush or take too much time in making decisions .

    Johansen is a very good player ,with a great engine on him.Having him fully focused ,committed and on form, is vital for Celtic,especially Celtic that Ronny Deila is envisaging .

    Much better in the advanced role when he is free to use his energy properly. His closing down in the opposition half regularly leads to mistakes and puts us on the attack.

    He was at his best last season running beyond Guidetti, but he has to adapt his game a little with Griff preferring to play on the shoulder.

    He was absolutely awful in that second half until he was rightly subbed off.

    Closed down well, put pressure on guy in possession, gave the ball away a lot.

    I didn't see the first half but in the second he probably lost possession 5 or 6 times in 20 minutes.

    That's the Stefan we love!:smiley-laughing002:

    He was really good today, particularly in the first half. We've really missed him this season.

    Even at his best he was wasteful in possession but that was more to do with him trying the killer ball too often.

    Johansen is one of the first names on the team sheet for me, what he bring to our game is invaluable, he sets the tempo of how we play. He's classy and is solid in the challenge - I'd easily have him as one of our best player and so would everyone else if it wasn't for his * start to the season. He is a very important player to us.

    Haha, that's pretty good by his standards!

    Kidding aside, glad to see he's improving, played well again today.

    No doubting hes like Brown- hes so much better looking with short hair. Really disappointed to see him grow it his performances like Browns have suffered because of this.
