He was woeful yesterday, and hasn't impressed to date, but he must have something about him to have played as many times at West Ham.

He wasn't the only poor performer yesterday, but he struggled badly.

He’s looked poor every time I’ve seen him for us and yesterday was by far the worst. I hope he’s dropped for Everton, a player doesn’t deserve to keep their spot after putting in a performance like that.

Agreed. He's had a decent career to date, he hasn't suddenly become a terrible player, and McKenna doesn't sign terrible players.

There's something there, he's certainly a good athlete and I'm confident McKenna can get his levels up.

None of which changes the fact he was awful yesterday, but as you say he wasn't alone in that. Let's not get into the business of scapegoating, that's not going to help.

Probably lack of game time not many minutes this season and playing against a very tricky quality players who's late runs would catch many defenders in this league out, those wanting Clarke unless he's suddenly improved from last season wouldn't fair any better, hopefully he's injury free we may see differently, tuanzebe is a different class,

Muric goes from the sublime to the ridiculous.

We need the Muric we saw at Brighton on a much more regular basis.

Seems to be everything we were told by Burnley fans when he signed.

I don’t like - my instinct is that he’s far too erratic to be a top level GK, he’s one footed, and is nothing like as good with the ball as he’d like to think he is. I can’t believe the defence enjoy playing our game with him behind them. For balance he’s commanding and clearly a good shot stopper.

Just don’t think he’s for us but would be delighted to be proved wrong.

Maybe James had money on him staying at West Ham and wanted his bet to come in?

I said the other day that I don't think Harry Clarke is out of the picture here at all. Not been impressed by Johnson at all in what I have seen so far and yesterday didn't convince me otherwise. Big chance for Harry now to be a PL footballer with his boyhood club if Axel is out for a couple of months.

Good to see him back in the matchday squad yesterday, and he surely deserves a chance now as long as he’s fit.

Nope. Thought he's been poor going right the way back to the pre-season friendlies. Looked completely out of place at right back for Fortuna but hoped it was down to lack of time on the training ground with the rest of the squad.

I remember when someone posted a link to a west ham forum reading that he can sometimes seem nervy and lacking confidence and that definitely seems to be the case. He doesn't look sure of himself at all and it's impacting his decision making, particularly in which position to take up when defending.

Tuanzabe took a bit of time to grow into the right back role, so I'm hoping Johnson still can, but it's not looking great
