Brennan Johnson

[Bedfordspurs]

I understand


Some did. Or are we going to be stereotypical and pretend that the issue applied to all Tottenham supporters?

Enough had a go that made him turn off his social media.
They didn’t need to say anything
Normal people wouldn’t do that

Back to his utterly pointless and toss best today

Back to his utterly pointless and toss best today

There is no "back to" there was no appreciable difference between yesterday's match and the weekend.

The only difference is that he skied the low cross across the box chances he had against Frankfurt but against Southampton he scored it. That's it, he was no better on or off the ball. He contributed no more or no less in general play.

He finished his chance on Sunday but missed it today, that's it, that is the difference between the two performances. This shouldn't surprise you, this is what he is as a player.

A midfield schemer who can constantly take men on via dribbling AND has vision would see the best of Johnson. So many times he's free and oin space but no-one passes it to him to use his pace. Of course, he's not as good as, say, Odobert one-on-one but still, play to the guys strengths FFS.
Solanke, him are looking more and more ineffective as time has gone on under Ange's system...sigh...

I do agree as much as I don't rate Johnson (I don't at all ) we don't really use him effectively. Our setup actively negates his few better attributes and plays him in manner that totally doesn't suit him.

We need a switch passer in midfield if we intend on player the poor controlling, none drinking capable Johnson. He needs passes into space free of defenders and to be fair to him he does find himself in open space but we never pass it to him.

We have Maddison for that

Well then, oh boy...mr crab was at it again last night.
Tbf, he himself would benefit from someone who passes quickly when our players are in space and/or can dribble past a man

He is so frustrating
If I was Ange I’d ban him from leaving the opposition half
His mobility is shocking
His creativity in the final third is very good
If we’re playing him there has to be a trade off
Doesn’t help he cannot pass to the left

He’s in the team to get on the end of chances. He’s certainly not in the team because of his creativity or guile. Nothing wrong with that if that’s the limit of what you expect from him. The problem is when he doesn’t score he contributes very little. Similar to Erling Haaland or Raheem Sterling but not as prolific. The other problem is our forwards as a unit aren’t prolific or we don’t create enough for them.
