I agree that two-footers have the potential to be much worse, but all I'm saying is that it comes down to timing, and if timed well (like Johnson's!) I think it should be legitimate. I do generally think Johnson's more than a bit rum, and the thought of him as England right-back is a little worrying, but he made a corker of a challenge last night in the area on, I think, Aguero.
