Johnson ‘too scared’ to appeal for penalties

EVERTON defender Alan Stubbs believes Andrew Johnson has been scared off appealing for penalties because of the season-long diving uproar which has surrounded the England striker.

Johnson was the victim of another incident when TV replays showed he was fouled in the box by Aston Villa’s Stilian Petrov in Monday’s 1-1 draw at Villa Park.

The former Crystal Palace marksman, who will lead Everton’s attack today at home to Fulham, did not even appeal.
