The yak wasn't it?

We only bought in saha after Johnson left.

I know he was relegated to the flanks when Yak came, but wasn't sure he left before or after Saha. Granted he wasn't Jela 1.0 and did OK but it sure wasn't his best position.

Another victim of the Moyes Anti Striker Plan......let him have a season were he does what he does best in front of goal....then play him in a position were its impossible for him to score.

Johnson lost the CF position to Yak because with Yak in his 41 year old prime we were playing some sweet footie and ripping teams apart, not because any manager ruined him. The only thing that ruined AJ was age and injuries.

Yak in that last year Johnson was here was pretty damned good.

Scored 21 goals didn't he?

We were a beautiful beautiful team of flat track bullies that year.

63 points out of a possible 84 vs the bottom 14. 2 points out of a possible 30 vs the other top 6.

Man, FC Brann still doesn't know what hit them. I miss our flat track bulliability.

That Fiorentina game, did aj ask to be subbed in extra time so as to avoid taking a pen in the shootout?

He wasn't that good anymore and was no longer drawing pens after conplaints from Sky Clubs. Plus he was being platooned out wide because Saha? was doing well at the time. Had a few decent moments at Fulham I guess. I still can't believe we got 10.25M from Fulham for him.

Ah right. Personally I dont remember him being not that good. I always thought we used him bad or maybe didnt suit our style.

But I just wiki'd his stats and it looks like his goals dried up after he left us. Suppose Moysey got that one right.
