:lol: Maybe that's the real explanation behind Johnson's "injury"...
I'd be more worried by our potential front 3.... you can be bitten, punched or smacked with a golf club. It's good to have options up front.

FRUSTRATED Kenny Dalglish will consult Liverpool's owners over tackling his problems with refereeing decisions.
The Kop boss claims poor officiating has regularly cost his men this season, notably when their unbeaten start to the season ended with Stoke's 1-0 victory on Saturday.
Dalglish felt ref Mark Clattenburg got it wrong by awarding Jon Walters' 20th minute penalty winner - and in denying Liverpool spot-kicks of their own, particularly when Luis Suarez's cross hit Matthew Upson's late on.
Former Newcastle and Blackburn chief Dalglish will discuss his next move with his club's principal owner John Henry and chairman Tom Werner of Fenway Sports Group.
Dalglish said: "We would like to be respectful to referees - and I'd like to think I have been - but more importantly than being respectful to the referees is having respect for my football club," he said.
"If I feel they are suffering in any shape or form I will need to go the same route other people go and see if we can gain some benefit from that.
"The first four league games have had contentious decisions in them and every one has gone against us.
"I'll speak to the owners first and see what they say because the last thing I want to do is for my behaviour to impinge on the club's success in any way."
But, unlike many top-flight counterparts, Dalglish stressed he had no issues with Stoke's style - in fact, praising their determination and resilience.
But he felt his side deserved more - after disagreeing with Clattenburg that Jamie Carragher had fouled Walters for the penalty.
Dalglish added: "I think it is a bit of an understatement to say we deserved something from the game.
"We can only do what we can do ourselves, sometimes other things are taken outside your jurisdiction.
"If we continue to play with the same attitude and commitment then we will be okay this season.
"But if we continually get battered by things outside of our control we are not going to get much chance.
"We don't have any complaint about Stoke. Tey played hard and played well, they got the goal and defended courageously at times and maybe at times they got a bit of luck.
"We don't have anything but appreciation for the way they played and the way they held on to win the game.
"There is nothing for me to say which is anything other than complimentary to Tony and Stoke.
"But I just cannot see how it is a penalty kick."
But Stoke boss Tony Pulis said: "I think Kenny will be as biased to his team as I am to Stoke.
"I respect his opinion and whether the decisions were (less than impartial) or not I don't know.
"We were pretty poor in possession of the ball today and we are better than that but we were top drawer off the ball.
"We stopped them playing, although I thought Suarez up front was fantastic."
:lol:
Has he forgotten the match at the Emirates?
someone needs to tell kenny that both goals they scored against us to win were offside
As Suarez didn't touch the ball or stop the defender from getting it, I think that technically means he wasn't offside.
And the second goal was onside because he was not interfering with play when in an offside position as the pass wasn't played to him, and was onside by the time he got the pass from Meireles.
Can't think what went against us in that game though.
Once again KD getting somewhat rattled about having to answer questions on Carroll. I think he knows - and we're beginning to know he knows - that he has nobody else on his hands with him other than the new Michael Robinson.
