Johnson has put Liverpool's resurgence down to the positive attitude amongst the players and says that all stems from Kenny Dalglish.
"Since I've been here we've had good and bad times but with the last few games you could say this is the best we've played," said the defender.
"Kenny has just brought the belief back, let the lads enjoy themselves and training has been good. The lads are happy day-to-day and look forward to the games.
"He's given us a bit of confidence and put a smile back on the lads' faces.
"We've got a great bunch of lads here. On and off the pitch we work hard for each other and off the pitch we're enjoying life with each other as well. It's a good group of boys."
