I don't know too much about Johnson but I think the element of surprise he offers could also be emulated by SWP.

you didn't play well against japan at all though tbf
johnson is quality, whilst he played for boro whenever he ran at our defence i sh*t myself. can't believe he wasn't picked

As a team we didn't play well against Japan, especially in the first half but SWP showed some creativity and flare on the left side of midfield during the second half.

I don't think Johnson would be up to the task of taking on experienced international defenders, whereas SWP's pace gives him a big advantage.

Heskey was chosen because he combines with Rooney very well and he can be a bit of a handful at times. However, I do know what you mean because his goalscoring record is poor for club and country.
