Brennan Johnson

agree but again that's not his fault that we are playing a right winger who's played his entire career predominantly on the right, as a left winger because we lack experience in that position.

It doesn't make any difference. If Kudus was a LW we would still see the same performance form Johnson on the right. Have you forgotten how he actually plays during gameplay on the right or have you been blinded by the goal numbers?

Its pretty obvious that when Johnson starts teams are going to target Kudus because Johnson is no where near as threatening. We need a left winger who will scare the defence aswell as Kudus does. Johnson is not that person.

Or another creative player in the centre that can also scare them, and do useful things with the ball including combining with Johnson and releasing him.

Which is part of why we signed Simons imo.

agree its not his fault he can't play on the left.
the problem is kudus is better on the right, and obviously richy or kolo in the centre
where do you think Johnson should play with the new additions?

The bench or Brentford.

I think as the season progresses, and maybe already fairly soon, Johnson will end up starting on the bench most games unless there are injuries and/or rotation. Up to him to respond well to that competition for places.

Hopefully Frank will be able to start him when he sees the game as favourable for what Johnson brings.

But I also think that if Kudus continues to do well and Simons and Kolo Muani show their qualities fairly quickly Johnson will end up having a better time overall when he starts and plays than he has in the past. He'll get more of the service he needs. And when he gets that service he's really effective imo.
