That's his style of play. He is so calm etc, 99% of the time it is fine however it stands out if something goes wrong. 

His style of play is standing on the edge of the area watching his man run past him?

He's excellent on the ball and reads the game so well that he's actually a darn good defensive player too. This seemed to be something else - like his head just wasn't in the game at all.

Watched Wharton last night.  If Johnson was a decent player he'd have had two assists.  Wharton ran the show against villa

He was excellent especially against Tielmans who is no mug. Controlled it from start to finish.

There was one reverse pass he played first time around the 60th minute that was incredible, it was almost too good as the forward made a total dogs dinner of it as they were so surprised it came to them. Even at that level Whartons vision catches teammates out

Under the watching eyes of Tuchel, too. He'd be an absolute fool not to have Adam as one of the key players in his squad for the world cup.

It’s his ability to play deadly accurate first time passes that sets him out in a world of two touch players.
