Halftime. Vote.

A. He's doing well.
B. He's doing decent.
C. He's doing his final soccer match of his career because I'm going to kill him in his sleep tonight.

A.

Because its his first (important match) , if he improves marginally over the course of the next two years the world cup is fine

Obviously would still prefer sir darke but I won't mute it

No choice for, "He's doing poorly"?. . . I'd vote B anyways.

A, the dude is killing it, other than his pronounciation of Ozil he's been great IMO

I think he did fine. He and Barton have to work on working together though

Obviously he doesn't have a real understanding of the game yet, I find that in general soccer fans that are new to the game don't know where to look and what to be aware of and merely follow the ball. He's got some potential but he also seemed to have trouble recognizing players who shot or cleared the ball, which really shouldn't be the case with 2 superclubs. Also, still too much of just calling out players names as they receive the ball.

I think the English announcers do a good job of pointing subtle things out and helping to educate newer fans about to flow of the game, Johnson can't do this because you have to point out these things as they happen (for instance concepts like early passes and crosses and marking, field awareness, etc...) and he likely doesn't recognize them in many cases, atleast not instantly.
