Brennan Johnson

Ah yes, the good old 'All he does is score' argument. Hes our fudging top scorer, if what he is doing is so easy then what the on earth are the rest of our forwards doing? Its also a myth he doesn't contribute given his assists and goal creation chances stats and if you compare his stats to a Son or Bale at the same age? Guess what, his bloody stand up to theirs....
This with bells on.
 
Find it funny how many of our fans think he is the weak link again
Last year when he was assisting he was the weak link
This year he is scoring and is the weak link
All because he isn’t dribbling past his man
Yet we many wide players who are doing that and yet get away with it without the dogs abuse. We have an odd fan base
You're being disengerous. Neither side is working. Son gets pelters also when playing out wide.

Our wide players do not fit the playing style the manager is trying to implement. They would be fine in a different system but not this one
 
I think the people who are critical of Johnson want a wide player like Ginola or Marcus Edwards, all show and tricks, I think he can do more and hope he adds to his game. He gets ball in quick which is what I think is crucial, too many wide players fanny about.

Johnson is delivering a product. And he is doing it with no rest and again, I think carrying a knock
Son gets protected because of who he was
Quite scary the way they are being treated
Some and sit in the lower south and hear the brick said about Johnson
I think that’s why he didn’t celebrate again today
fudging grim IMO

No, I want a wide player who can keep the ball and progress the play. Ideally by beating his man. There were multiple times today when Johnson had the ball but rather than running it forward he just passes it off to someone else, losing the attacking momentum or he just lost it the one time he did try to take the defender on. I want a wide player who when we are under the cosh like today you can use to escape the pressure. I want someone who faced off against a settled defence they have the ability to drive into the box or help keep a defence on its toes. Johnson not Son do any of these things. They do not suit the style of football Ange is seemingly trying to implement.

I honestly couldn't give a fudge for tricks or flicks. We need players who can drive at defenders, who keep them on their toes who they don't know if the attacker is going inside or out. I'm baffled how you guys can watch us play and not see how limited his game is and how a player of that type would actually be useful.

I have to admit you’ve just described Werner there lol

On another note, I accidentally tuned into Watford vs QPR. And guess who’s back in English football and started for Watford? Your hero, the legend, the one and only Moussa Sissoko :D

Fair enough I assume you want to sack manager and start again with an other man.

I want a good version of Werner. 😅

FFS why did you have to mention his name. :mad::mad::mad:

Hmm no. I actually want Ange to work out. I really like the majority of his precepts, I like his overall system. When on song we really do play some rivetting football, but despite me being overall positive doesn't make me blind to deficiencies. I watch us and I see some holes and weak links and my approach has always been address the weak links to raise the general standard. I think the wide players we have and how we use them is a weak link.

The problem is, if he was more aggressive and had the confidence to rinse his man more, he could be doing so much more.

He massively under uses his pace, and far too often, the game passes him by.

He could and should be doing a whole lot more to behonest.

If not him, who? Gotta have a whipping horse, right?

It's particularly a problem when because of injuries all of our three forwards fit in that similar mold fairly well like against Fulham.

We've been crying out for a different type of wide forward. That's why we signed Odobert, but unfortunately he's been injured. We do have Werner who is good at beating a man, but unfortunately not so good at scoring.

Part of the problem is that Johnson's weaknesses are being overexposed due to a lack of other options.

Part of the problem too is that Johnson needs to develop on those other aspects of his game, but that unsurprisingly takes time.

He's very good at arriving in the box and getting on the end of crosses, but he could be so much more.
Very much agree with Harry Brooks' view of him. He needs to work on being more involved.
