He's not the best passer in the game, nor is he an experienced CB. His crosses aren't brillant. What he is though imo is by far one of the best man markers out there and Fergies go to guy when up against the likes of Ronaldo and Bale.
I honestly thought the smart thing last night would just to have played him in front of the back two and just give him a Balotelli assignment to just shut him down, frustrate him and take him out of the equation.

I saw Johnson getting roasted on Twitter last night but I thought he played alright. I don't really care where they put him, but he needs to be out there ahead of Cahill. I'm not really sure what Cahill brings to the lineup exactly.
I stand by my comments on Baines. Yeah, he wasn't getting a lot of help but his set pieces were poor and if he just jockies, instead doing whatever the hell that little skip was on that cross, that second goal doesn't happen.
