Put the gooner weirdo on ignore. If that happened he disappears.
Might be the craziest 2 sentences I’ve ever read on here.
There’s supporting your team and then there is just plain delusion.
Don't know what your definiton of 'Studs Up' is, but in my book he had his studs up
There's knowing ball and then there's being a cuck for your rivals.
Easy to see which category you fall into.
TBF, he's got 2 goals in 381 minutes. Tally is similar to last season, roughly 1 goal every 2 matches, even though he's played in a more sporadic role off the bench.
In terms of actual G+A and everyone's favourite xG+xA/90, he's roughly equal to Kudus in production. They're basically inverse of one another, Kudus is biased to assists and Johnson is biased to goals. Obviously Kudus contributes more off the ball, and rightly should be playing*.
In this moment where we're struggling to play through the middle, and we have a first choice RW that can't score for love nor money, we could do a lot worst than playing Johnson as second striker and have him making those runs in behind.
Johnson has a talent for scoring goals. People spent years picking Kane apart as a tap in and penalty merchant before the narrative finally got played out. The reality is the most difficult thing to do on a football pitch is score - throwing away players who have proven the ability to do that is foolish.
*This is another issue with some supporters. We need depth, the same 11 can't play every match, all match. Even if Johnson isn't "good enough" to be first choice, he's still contributing more than most anyone else. Player movement needs to be targeted and strategic - if we're replacing a player from the forward line, it should be Odobert first (though I would advocate for a loan due to his age) and Richarlison second. Do that and Johnson shuffles down the order, then maybe he's on the chopping block. But I'd still probably loan Tel put and replace him with someone as my third forward move, so Johnson's spot is, at best, 4th priority.
Kane scored a lot more than Johnson and even before rounding his game had more technical quality in his little pinky than Johnson has in his entire body. Remember the big win over Chelsea in his breakout season? That goal from outside the box and the turn and finish for his 2nd.. both better goals than anything Johnson has ever managed to pull off technically. Kane never just offered tap ins.
You can play Johnson second striker but he is and will be a passenger. When he has started this season we haven’t looked good and he’s not been involved. You are waiting for him to utilise his one good asset - off the ball positioning. He’s not a goal threat outside that one channel.
You can keep him as a sub but the reality is he’s not very good at impacting games or changing them. If you aren’t threatening pre Johnson sub you’re unlikely to threaten post Johnson sub.
Kudus g+a wise is relatively average, his whole thing is we play entirely through him from deep and hope he gets us upfield. What we actually need is a proper centre forward which Johnson will never be.
The Kane comparison was more to do with the narrative than a comparison between players - different positions and obviously different players.
The best direct comparison for Johnson is Son, in that Johnson plays in much the same way as Son did. His strength is running through gaps and getting onto through balls - similar to his goal yesterday.
Johnson is obviously a level (or more, I'm not arguing) below Son, but he's now at the same age Son was when he really emerged into a consistent threat (and, still, was plagued by being a streaky player for many years before finding consistency).
For Johnson to flourish, like Son, he needs a Kane and an Eriksen. Our biggest issue, like you say, is the CF. Right now that's just a hole and its keeping our attack from functioning. I don't think Muani is the answer - I don't think he can be a first choice #9. And I' not sure Solanke is either, but he's something closer to it (if, in fact, he still has legs...haven't seen him in too long).
But I think a proper #9 makes all our attackers better, Johnson included.
Still, tidy finish
I think you have put too much in your microdose there mate, drink some orange juice.
Make your mind up!! I thought you coppers were taught all about drugs in Hendon???
Magic mushrooms= Constantly High
Fucking mushrooms = Constantly Hard
Rookie error.
Pretty damning, if you think about it.We started absolutely ballin' out with ten men when he went off.
Just sayin.
When you're so awful, the team improves, when you're sent off...
I missed the first half though, what was the rest of his game like?

Did a couple things ok.
Got the goal (well taken tbf)
It is what it is.
Playing predominantly in a position he's not comfortable in.
No mention that most appearances he's had are from the bench, no mention that hes playing in a position he's not used to....just "2 in 10" lol.
Lets not forget 1 of those goals the same poster questioned whether it was his goal because it took a deflection lol.
Position he’s not used to lmao, he’s just popping up at the other back post occasionally to tap it in instead. By the way - plays on the right for wales this season and has STUNK. His own teammate dunked on him or it.
For a player who offers nothing, NOTHING, outside of generally shite, gimme goals that his teammates create, that isn’t a good record. When he has started.. garbage.
Not sure why left or right matters to him, he does the same shite.
Such a poor, poor footballer.
Games Johnson started in this season:
Burnley = 3-0 win, Johnson scores and we play very well.
Manchester City = 2-0 win, Johnson scores and we play very well.
Bournemouth = we play shit.
Everton = 3-0 win, Johnson plays well and we play very well.
Doncaster = 3-0 win, Johnson scores and we play well.
Newcastle = 2-0 loss, we play decent and Johnson isn't very good.
Copenhagen = 5-0 win, Johnson scores and we play very well.
Why are you lying to prove a non existent point? Why do people on this site accept lies without questioning it? Place has turned into an utter dump.
