Brennan Johnson

The entire team is playing with more confidence and belief now. I'm absolutely certain this is more how Ange wants us to play. Slow at times, but then very quickly when those moves are on.

Johnson is also playing with a lot more confidence and is contributing more on his own too, as well as getting the benefit of the team playing better.

But it's also been a matter of who we've been playing, their style and quality. When we come up against a better quality mid/low block defending in a "passive" manner we'll be put to a different test.
If you look at Johnson's actual performances outside of his goals he isn't doing anything different. What's changed is the space he's being found and that's allowing him to do dangerous things. If we play low and mid block teams and we pass passively I don't think any increase in confidence is going to make a difference to his lack effectiveness in those scenarios.

We need speed of play, it suits the entire team. We do not have the players to play slowly and break down a determined and set low block.

no team seems to be able to break down a low block playing like that, even city
 
I posted last year that he was a player who seemed to lack confidence in his game, he has the abilty, pace, finishing ability and all he needed was to show it. He did struggle with it but i think he has shown [ SO FAR] this season that he has started to believe in his ability and because of that is now reaping the rewards.

All players are different when it come to strengths and weaknesess and i really believe he seemed to lack the confidence to play to his full abaility, long may he keep it up.

Part of that might be having a true wide out on the left, stretching the opposing d line.
 
Agreed; slide him into the glory hole and he'll deliver loads, right where it's needed
Always a cumposed finish
A bit like a bullet?
A speeding projectile, glistening in the moonlight as it arcs through the night sky, penetrating deep into enemy territory

Feel for the lad today, he didn't deserve that horror show in the second half.
They snuffed him out a wind half by attacking more
It was odd because we got behind them so much first half
I like Brennan and think he has so much potential which we’re seeing bits of now
Got to hope odebert can step up on the left when fit

Estupian came on and played very well too. When I saw that sub I was concerned...

Estupian would be a great player for us
But he did his work attacking
What was weird… and I’ve only just seen it is that Kulu a rely made a pass to a spurs player second half. Nothing completed… he was the supply line first half
