Player Watch Player Watch: Brennan Johnson

[Donki]

Wait what? Based upon what? There’s numerous wingers in the league with more goal contributions than him.

Who they? Name them up. Baring in mind you have said wingers and numerous.

Just in the league:

Salah (16), Saka (12), Son (7), Mbuemo (9), Diaz (7), Bowen, (6)

Johnson - 5 goals, 0 assists


I am happy with Johnson' contributions though - but just answering the question.

 

[kd2000]

Theres no denying his output in terms of getting on the end of things. Its just a shame that he isnt as good providing for others and also his tracking back leaves a lot to be desired.
Porro looks worse than he actually is because of how little protection he is provided by Johnson.
I get its a double edged sword that is likely instructed by Ange but still................

I think, we can take salah and Saka out of the argument, due to who they play for. Brennan is holding his own. I can’t help to wana beat bowens face in for some reason.

Again we can dance around this tracking back thing, I think he’s doing as he his told to do.

To be fair - Spurs have scored more goals than Arsenal or Liverpool - so not sure why we take them out of the argument.

Johnson is the second youngest in the list behind Saka - so his production is fine, and we could use competition there - but not a direct replacement. Based on recent games, it seems that the competition is Deki - but that seems less an indictment on Johnson, and more about getting Maddison back into the squad - and we have shown we can't be effective with Deki and Maddison in the CM roles together.

Scoring more goals is what Ange is good at, it’s the balance of balls out or wind your neck in a bit he needs to work on.

Saka, palmer, Mbeumo, diaz, McNeil, bowen and salah. Then a few more on the same as him. He’s no where near the 2nd best winger in the league.

I never said he was the best winger in the league.

It wasn’t you who I responded to saying that. Someone said he’s gonna be the second best winger in the league this season or something

Football is a funny old game at the end of the day. You could argue Kane is the finest English striker there has been, but John O’Shea has won more than Kane can ever hope to win. Honestly don’t think O’Shea was that bad but it’s football.

 

[matty74]

Nowhere near the best winger does all his good work in the box .

he’s a tap in Tony but if he keeps on scoring then he must keep on starting .

Incredible run of goals could go, on and the end the season with 20 goals the way he is going .

which would be a incredible thing after the way he was slated at the beginning of the season

He must be or Ange would drop him.

 

[G Ron]

He dropped him on Saturday……..

 

[Donki]

Poor kid I hope it wasn’t from a great hight.

 

[djhotspur]

I mean he sort of has a few times? Let’s see who starts against Fulham. I have the feeling our new attack is Kulu RW and MADDs at 10

 

[Donki]

I’d say Brennen will start.

 

[jolsnogross]

The guy is killing it and really added goals to his game this season. Fans are pretty funny. Johnson looks like the guy designed to play the style Ange wants. And the penny is clearing dropping for Johnson.

Bizarre to see so much questioning of our top scorer.

I simply don’t get it either. He’s just the latest fall guy for many supporters. Yet u will still get supporters who think Ndombelle was harshly treated when quite frankly he was shite.

 

[Finchyid]

If anything we need another player who can score goals on that side. It's a shame Richarlison is more comfortable on the left than the right. Maybe replace him with someone who can play right wing or up top instead. That allows a bit of rotation with Johnson and Solanke.

Agree..Son should be a bench player…issue is we have no one else
