Portsmouth boss Hart excited by Johnson attacking qualities

Portsmouth boss Paul Hart was happy to push Glen Johnson into an attacking role for their victory over Everton.

He said: "A lot of thought went into it, but it's a defender's nightmare when you see Glen Johnson pushing up another 20 or 30 yards and running at you.

"As we said at the start of this little run, things had to be changed because we were not playing people in their right positions. But maybe only David Nugent can say that he is slightly off kilter at the moment.

"The majority of the team are playing where they want to, although on Saturday we played Kaboul at right-back.

"But I thought he was magnificent as well."
