Obviously. Also ignoring his run past Gvardiol first half. He's going to be dangerous for us.Are we ignoring the assist?

we can just get him to jog and work out more, he'll be fineI really like him going forward. My big worry is I don’t think he’s got a very good engine, he sprints then looks shattered and is very poor at tracking back.
Yeah maybe but some players don’t have that recovery engine thoughwe can just get him to jog and work out more, he'll be fine
I think he’s quality, I was a bit worried about signing him tbh but he’s proving me wrong about him.
Can't deny he's making a contribution and is surely nowhere near settled yet. Hoping he can improve that fitness and work rate moving forwards. If he wants to be elite he needs to work harder on the defence.He’s really dangerous and it’s fantastic having an attacker in our squad with the raw elite tier pace he possesses.
The thing I really love so far though is his willingness to cross and cut the ball back with both feet so far.
He was unlucky not to force an own goal first half when he skinned Gvardiol and smashed it across goal. That was with his stronger foot.
Second half he found a moment of quality and actually got a yard on Kyle Walker which is crazy. Then he didn’t hesitate and delivered a lovely ball with his left foot.
Both of his PL assists so far have been with his weaker foot and he also had that assist against Chelsea ruled out which was left foot too.
Real weapon that he’s capable of crossing and cutting back with both feet, especially combined with his raw pace which is frightening.
He has a lot to work on and he’s still quite raw but I can see why Ange wanted him now.
Those that don’t agree are clueless…looks a real talent imoSome may not agree, but I'm impressed by him so far. Obviously still think there's room for improvement, but his pace is going to cause defenders lof of problems. I'm sure he never got a full pre season at Forest cause he was injured (,correct me if I'm wrong), and also got injured early doors for us, so this past month he's been building up his fitness and learning to play in a new team & style. Contributed with a few assists now, and a goal.
Apart from the 1st goalHe’s showing enough to at least stick with. Shane Solomon and Perisic are out though. Gil doesn’t seem to be grabbing his chance
You’re an average poster on here, nothing more.Decent squad player, nothing more.
Got to be honest, and I know many will disagree, I didn’t really see Johnson do much more than Gil did today. Both players were instrumental in a goal, yes Johnson actually got the assist and Gil didn’t but I’d say Gil’s role in the first goal was just as important. Johnson did have that moment of raw pace were he put Givardiol on ice but that aside I thought he was largely anonymous and even poor at times with his decision making just like Gil. Also he really needs to work on the defensive side of the game.He’s showing enough to at least stick with. Shane Solomon and Perisic are out though. Gil doesn’t seem to be grabbing his chance
