Johnson was boss.
I've watched the game twice, he was not skinned twice, once, or anytime by any player. Ribery nearly got past him and went down crying that he got elbowed when it was a hand to the chest and hardly a foul.
Johnson had one lapse of concentration where he didn't come back from an attack quick enough and there was a hole on our right that wasn't plugged as he jogged back and Ribery managed to get in to it. Johnson out-ran him from 5 yards back, got in his way, and blocked a cross for a corner. He had one of the worlds best wingers in his pocket and Ribery ended up on the right at times drifting away from Johnson, and even attempted to get him sent off so he could have a chance of playing some football and not just receiving the ball and passing it backwards.
Not the first time and not the last. Johnson deserves to be playing the likes of Ronaldo and Messi, he has consistently had the likes of Bale and other top wingers in the premier league in his pocket and if anything, struggles through lapses of concentration against the weaker teams * very rarely. Cometh the big game, Glen Johnson is as solid as any player in the world in the fullback position defensively.
