Player Watch Player Watch: Brennan Johnson

Squad player not a starter

Before these 3 losses, we were all proud of Brennan, first season for us, still young and has 5 goals and 7 assists. Probably should have had a few more goals but hopefully he improves on that next season.

He’s currently on a par stats wise with someone like Kudus, and I reckon next season Brennan will be one of the top contributors in the league. Time for some patience.

Agree. For me he shows real glimpses of quality. He has something about him. And as you point out, his stats are not bad at all.

Now it’s all about him starting to produce more consistently and becoming a player who regularly influences matches as opposed to being an impact player. But I don’t mean that as a criticism, I think it’s the trajectory many great young players follow and I can see him getting better and better, especially if we manage his development well.

He wasn't good last night but sorry the kid is quality and he will progress further next season

He is good and it is a case of patience. As someone said on another thread - progression is not always a linear process. Trouble is that there is too much hyperbole on this site at times. A player is brilliant one game and not good enough the next.

Tackles like Christian Eriksen. I once described his tackling as being 'like a schoolgirl running up to her friend to ask if she could borrow her skipping rope'.

His workrate would make Ndombele blush.

Sadly I think this is deliberate. Stay high & wide for when we win the ball. In the meantime we’ll get hammered without the ball. Genius

Needs to play off the right, looks totally lost on the left. Son needs to be out left and Johnson out right and Richy through the middle. Sadly the difference in class between Salah and Dias compared to Johnson and Kulu couldn’t be starker.
