Why thank you sir
You clearly didn’t understand it, even if it was very clearly written
Against Woolwich he should have scored a couple, Against Newcastle he should have scored, yesterday he should have scored, against Sheffield united he scored but millimetres offside, against Villa he should have scored, against Wolves he scored, against Chavski he should have got an assist and was demolishing them until the sending off and that's from the top of my head.
His strongest point at Forest was finishing (and of course his pace) so I think it's fair to assume he will improve on his goal return. His assists are a good return Considering he's averaged less then 8 full games.

Also worth noting that he's only started two games for us with James Maddison in the same line up and in one of those games he was subbed off after 30 and Maddison went off injured.
I don't hate him at all, and whilst he's at Spurs I want him to be absolutely brilliant.
I don't think he's contributing enough to the team workload, and I'm disappointed that he isn't more of a threat.
They are my reasons for raising the questions that I have.
If you want to see hatred and abuse go and read the Dier, Winks and PEH threads. I don't stoop to those levels, and I certainly don't bother with childish personal abuse, like some posters on here, about people I don't know who play for the team I've supported for over 50 years.
Neither have I written him off, I am simply asking people to tell me (tangible) things that he's doing, that mean that people get so defensive about him as a player.
I'm not seeing it, which is why I'm asking.
He should have
He should have
He should have
Jansen should have scored
Soldado should have scored
Raziak should have scored
Vinicus, etc etc
Which is kind of my point
47 million should be buying players that perform at Madison and Van De Ven levels, nobody is questioning their performances.
One thing I'm not is a fickle fan, and neither am I "hating" Johnson. I spend an inordinate amount of time berating people for the approbation and abuse they pour on our players.
I'm asking people what it is that they are seeing that imbues such devotion and antagonistic abuse of anyone who has the temerity to ask questions about him.
Remember that, "asking questions."
Because it said nothing of value Richard, hopes and wishes and could haves.
I get that.
You do know that BJ has plenty of time and skill to improve though, right?
Cool story bro
He played like this before he cut his head , in fact he has played like it in nearly every game but like I said when he toughens himself up he'll hopefully come good.Sure must be why Johnson played with 16 stitches on his forehead against Blue Scouse - (after going off on a concussion protocol against Forest) and showed up to his Spurs Play post game interview with a taped up ankle - But hey on a separate note, you be careful not hurt your fingers typing on that keyboard.
are you missing the point intentionally?
besides all those players you've listed are strikers whose main objective is to score.
All those players listed also found it extremely hard to even get in good goalscoring positions which Johnson has had no problem doing playing on the right. Johnson also needs to contribute in assists as well as goals. He's already doing one and I'm confident he will start doing the other.
VDV and Maddison aren’t the same.
VDV still a kid and nobody expected this from him.
Maddison was theft at the price we paid. The dippers spent 70m on Sbozo and he’s done less than Brennan despite being older.

None of have any idea what it’s like to play this level at this speed and with the type of impact that happens in the Prem.
I doubt any player can be soft and make it through the British football pyramid by the age of 22
Let's see how he goes if he gets the second half of the season playing in his favoured position, which seems to be the right flank. I think he has been pretty good from the right so far.
I don’t think hes technically lacking. He’s got a good first touch and is composed on the ball, plays with his head up and passes at the right time usually. he’s not a head down, dribbling step over type player but I don’t think that means he’s not technically good.

My issue with him is that his overall play is still quite poor. First touch, shooting, strength, passing, work rate, and impact over the course of 90 mins, all well below what we need long term.
Compare that to the immense work Kulu goes through. He seems like an even weaker version of Son, flits in and out of games, gets physically dominated, and unlike Son he's not got the G+A to make up for that.
