Ex-Spurs Player Brennan Johnson
- Thread starter The Fighting Cock
- Start date
Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
He put 3 in yesterday but Tel preferred hitting clean air.
His assist stats are right up there with nearly every player in our squad over the last couple of years
All the Johnson haters (like me) have got what we asked for so there can be no complaints.
The guy will be used against lesser opposition and as a late sub.
The only concern would be injury to Kudus and a prolonged stint of starts for BJ.
Apparently Kulu is back in a couple of months so BJ will be further away from the team. Definitely need to cash in next summer before his stock dips.

Very rarely his fault, mate..... he is actually one of the best players we have at timing his runs to perfection and more often than not he is offside because others have not released at the optimum time.
Not sure why youre trying to take away from him the things he does well.. its pretty weird .
I agree, hence why I said his role is served better as a super sub
Yeah. His goal was really good last night. It's the kind of ball behind to use his pace I'd like to see him have more of.
??....I've picked out 3 of his best moments other than his goal.....there were obviously others!....and you said earlier in the thread you barely watched the game in your hospitality suite?!....

You really took that literally, I was just boasting like a cunt lol
I’d like to see him being braver on the ball and knocking it beyond players and running onto it like we saw last night.
There’s too much passing back which isn’t playing to his strengths.
.....i did it once, met Martin Chivers, Paul Robinson, Jermaine Defoe......
Yea, I don't really see that happening.
I think it is very possible we go with 3 CBs, fullbacks, double-pivot with Xavi in front of them and then front 2.
And in that front 2 Kudus is pretty much nailed on, and for other place it is extremely difficult to see Johnson being picked ahead of Solanke, Richie and Kolo Muani.
Literally as I said - when we play tight games, every player has to contribute a lot to retain and win back possession. We don't want to be on receiving end of attack after attack after attack. Kudus has shown his ability to control, dribble and create things. Solanke and Richie are good at keeping the ball upfield + work extremely hard without it, being physical presence in both boxes. Johnson gives you none of that. So it is balancing act - how much on-the-ball ability are we willing to give away to gain better finishing ability. Have to keep in mind - if we give too much away, ball will never reach Johnson for clinical finish - he is pretty much fully dependent on others creating chances for him.
3 atb would definitely be a possibility that’s fair
Last night was the best I’ve seen him which is quite sad. I’m just being honest,it puts me on a downer when I’m at the games and the teams come out and he’s starting. He drives me insane in how little he offers during a game. He can score goals and I think he’s shown to be very good at that. Right place at the right time is a great trait to have but when he doesn’t we are literally playing with ten men. At this level you are fucked if that’s the case.
This argument will rumble on till he’s eventually sold but people need to realise we are not good enough to play with a man down. It only takes another two or three players to be off it that day and you have a guaranteed loss. We are not good enough to carry players. We need better or we’ll always be nearly men.
It’s not hate. It’s not accepting mediocrity mate. There’s a big difference. Why do we have a fanbase that always wants to accept something that’s not good enough ??
Premier league players should always be able to to that to lower league players after an hour on a big pitch like ours.
Doncaster? Seriously, it shouldn’t even take an hour.
How many are putting up constructive criticism against Brennan here??
I mostly see pure disgust against him, and from the same people, and every game.
