JOHNSON: THERE'S NO CRISIS AT ANFIELD
Paul Eaton 04 January 2008
David Johnson has hit back at those who have already written off Liverpool's season and declared: "There's no crisis at Anfield."
Despite kicking off the new year with a disappointing home draw with Wigan, the former Reds' striker is adamant the future is bright at Anfield and that the sense of frustration among fans after dropping four points over the festive period will soon be turned around.
"There were great expectations that we would start the second half of the season with a win but unfortunately football doesn't always work like that," said Johnson on LFC TV's 'This is Anfield' show.
"It was a hard game for us but we should have won. On the night we just didn't take our chances, Wigan had one shot and came away with a point.
"If you look back at the Manchester United game a couple of weeks ago we restricted them to one shot as well but they went away with the victory. That's how difficult it can be at times.
"There's no crisis at the club though. In fact things couldn't be better at the moment. We have new owners and new faces within the club, it's just that results aren't quite going our way.
"There is frustration among the supporters but that's only because we haven't been taking our chances. We're called supporters because we support our team through thick and thin and will always continue to do so."
Johnson also points to the stunning performances of record signing Fernando Torres as a main reason why Liverpool fans can look forward to a transformation in fortunes sooner rather than later.
"If you were to describe the perfect striker then you'd want someone with a good physique who can use his left and right foot. You'd want him to have pace, be brave, intelligent and be good in the air. That's Fernando Torres.
"Of course you also want him to be scoring goals and he's producing there as well. I'm delighted with Fernando, he's a great asset for us and will be in the future."
