I completely agree with you. He was very effective on the left. It seemed he was far more situationally aware of when to cut inside at pace. Think it's a combination of his growing confidence and of stuff that's been worked on in training re movement of our other players to create those openings for him.
Maybe in the press, but not on this board
Bale and Giggs were Welsh wingers and never struggled with the media.
Anyone finding their "Inner Lamela" is going to be great.
He needs to ask Romero for staring lessons
Not seen his eyes on the walk back into the tunnel after the game and his disgusted look towards the Villa fans after his goal? His side eye is something else.
Exactly why I wan't him to stay on the left for the next game. I just felt that the option to come inside onto his right gave him more choices and he looked far more comfortable because of it. On the right he doesn't look so confident cutting onto his left on the edge of box which results in him using his pace and going down the line 9 times out of 10. He just seems less dynamic there. Of course he can still be effective in certain situations but he looked more free on the left. Obviously confidence in general plays a big part regardless where he plays and of course it was only one game, its certainly important not to get carried away but the signs I thought were very promising. It was nice to see a bit of arrogance about him.
| Ange Postecoglou on Brennan Johnson:Ange knows exactly what to say, his words pour like honey!
“He's been great. For a younger player that's the hardest area of the pitch to come in and make an impression because you're usually only judged by one thing and that's your goal involvements, and everything else in your game doesn't really register. So especially for a young person like Brennan, who has come into a big club with a significant transfer, I think he's handled it well at every juncture.
He's taken the information on board. He's worked really hard in the areas we've asked him to work hard in and he's already got great qualities. That's why we brought him here. He's beginning to get the rewards now but that doesn't mean that stops. That's the beauty for him and all of the guys, that it's not about being satisfied with where you're at and if they keep having that attitude of wanting to improve, then that's going to make us a stronger team and them key contributors.”
He really does. Which give me comfort that he’s going the same behind the scenes. It’s a stark difference to some of what we’ve had before
