Any news on whether Rafa played Johnson out of position again?

I just get that gut feeling like when Rafa signed Keane, will Johnson fit in with Rafa's style of play, narrow and through the middle with Kuyt being the only player feeding crosses from the right hand side. Reira was supposedly bought into the team to offer width down the left hand side but Pool prefer to play narrow and through the middle. The jury is still out but I get that nagging feeling that with Johnson wanting to run down the channels normally occupied by Kuyt, Rafa's love child (Kuyt) will win the day. Thoughts people???

Johnson played at LB again.

I'll be updating my blog later with full details

Johnson played at LB again.

Will Rafa be able to play both Kuyt and Johnson at the same time on the same side of the pitch?

Look forward to your blog murf.

Why not?

Johnson taking Arbeloa's spot at RB - Kuyt/formation as last season.

Not saying that will happen but it is what I would guess at......

Can't believe Stoke have lost to 2 non-league teams

Both teams were are mixture of youth reserves and first team but even so.....
Wigan have not won a game in their first four fixtures but I'm not worried as it's a case of fitness at this early stage
