Lots of meaningless possession

guys like Werner and BJ look so timid

Missing Sarr a lot and Bissouma

defence v flaky today ironically despite all the players back
Exactly this. Getting wide well and then going backwards. Need to try and take the fullbacks on a bit more

I would love to be wrong but it feels like we bought Johnson more because he fits the profile. Young, athletic and most importantly English. But I don't really know what he excels at. Doesn't seem to have a strength except being pacey.

Utd have been shit really. We're once again giving away the game.

Werner been training with Skipp and Holberg since he’s been here. All he wants to do is pass it backwards ffs.

I’m glad Johnson has time on his side, and I’m not trying to get on his back, but I haven’t seen a glimpse of what it is he brings yet. I’m more than happy to be the person that makes this post, then scores or assists and everyone points and laughs etc.

He just seems so passive, shy and a bit scared. Perhaps he questions himself, but he’s quick yet never really seems to take his man on, final ball is really hit and miss, seems to hop out the way of tackles a lot too.

Hopefully a season of Anges confidence boosting gets him showing something. Do appreciate he’s young and it’s his first season here.
I agree with this but we are also committing the cardinal sin of playing the ball to his feet every time.

The smart play when you have someone who is lightening quick is to put the balls into the channels for them to run onto to really stretch the opposition. I’m certain we would have more success with him if we did that more

Guys…..I think we’ve seen enough from us today when we’re focussed to believe we can still come away with something

Difference is in United's finishing really. We've got nowhere near that level of finishing in this spurs side. And very little creativity.

Early days but Johnson needs to show more than he has so far. Doesn't take players on, doesn't play with any real conviction, wasteful more often than not.

Skipp and PEH showing why we want Gallagher.

Edit: ofc Skipp makes an amazing pass as I type
