Johnston is thriving under the Irishman after finding the one thing that was missing from his game
Alistair Johnston has always had the fight. But the finesse is now being added as his rapid career ascent continues working with Brendan Rodgers .
Given the Croat’s popularity amongst the supporters and his ability to deliver in the big games, that was no easy task, yet Johnston sailed through the initial examination. He made strong contributions in the second-half of Postecoglou’s Treble-winning season and maintained many of his impressive traits upon the arrival of Rodgers.
It’s just the type of individual who can take the detailed instructions of a thorough manager like Rodgers and carry them out on match day. He's doing just that and, right now, it seems he’s headed to the next level. Johnston produced the craft to angle the pullback for Daizen Maeda, the Japanese did the rest and, effectively, the Derby was over as a contest from that moment onwards. He did the same soon after running off Ross McCausland to help fashion a glaring chance that Reo Hatate spurned.
