Mikey Johnston

I'm on about Johnston....Christie was pish ...had a wee Cameo few months....done nothing for me.
Good Aberdeen player...never a Celtic player .

 

He got a lot of praise after the Hibs game but tbh I didn’t think he did much. Aye some nice skill but again, nothing productive.

He made a complete * of that pass to Kyogo when we were through on goal. Overhit it and the keeper got to it.

 

Laddie’s got a lot of talent, but I have this gut feeling that he doesn’t have what it takes to go to the next level. Like, he’ll always be a squad player that is brought on with 20 mins to go until he is loaned out and eventually leaves.

 

IMHO if he can stay relatively injury free he could become as big an impact player for us as Sean Maloney was after he put his injury issues behind him.

 

I was a big fan of him when he broke into the side but just can’t see him making it. Would love to be proved wrong but I think he flatters to deceive. Looks neat and tidy on the ball with a step over/drop of the shoulder but rarely has an end product.

Gave the ball away so cheaply for their second goal.

Jota is the same age as him but is on another level completely.

Hope Mikey proves me wrong but it just feels like he will never fulfil his potential. Feels like another injury is always around the corner with him as well.

 

Given I've only seen 5 minutes of MJ, I’m not impressed at all.

 

Away you go

 

Needs to find his confidence and truly go for it or stay on the periphery forever .

 

His ability to take a man on late in a game is a nightmare for tired defenders, sure he gave the ball away that led to their 2nd but thought he looked really dangerous when he entered the fray.

 

In Europe you can't be giving it away how he did at 3-1, in that area..

Could've cost us the win..

Was showing signs of being a danger when on as well..

Give him a start on Sunday to destroy Dundee and get a goal to get him off and running..

 

Problem now is we want the same for Abada, to get more goals in there after having the end product tonight

 

done nothing except give the ball away for a goal. has to do a lot better if he's going to compete with Jota.

 

Definitely m8. That mistake and Abada's attempted pass inside to a guarded Turnbull for their 1st goal will be punished by most decent teams. I know the boss likes to play the ball out of defence however, there are times when the ball just needs to be cleared as far up the park as possible to, hopefully, our CF

 

A bit like Forrest, was just expecting more from him coming on at that stage of the game against tiring opponents.

 

One of the most talented players in our squad and I’d argue the most talented (not the best) player to come from our Lennoxtown system, keep him fit and he will be someone that can beat any domestic fullback comfortably and score 15-20 a season.

In my opinion has already shown he can do it an European level, always looks a threat and sometimes more of a threat due to more space opening up.

 

Especially when if he plays it out to the right first time there are two players waiting to counter, that would have took us up the pitch and it would have been great play to break a press.

 

He'll learn. He's had very little actual match experience due to injuries. Itll take a full year, even 2 of constant games with no injuries to bring out his potential.

 

Got bundles of talent and a lot of ring rust. Just look at Jota, similar age and only now is he having his real breakthrough season - and he’s had half the injuries of MJ.

He might frustrate us for a season or two, but if he stays fit and gets going, we wouldn’t be able to buy a young player of his quality.

 

He is trying way too hard to impress so when it doesn’t come off he has a nightmare like last night.

Needs to calm down and play the game he’s in. He has enough talent that he doesn’t need to force his way into the squad. He just needs to stay fit and it will all come together.
