Ex-Spurs Player Brennan Johnson

It's almost as if it's a terrible decision to have a vulture like Johnson on the pitch. I'll wait for the usual genius response of how goals win games from the mediocrity defence force.
Nothing.
But just because he’s our top scorer, that doesn’t mean he guarantees, that if we chuck him on with 30 to go, when most of the team is playing shite, he’ll score.
But he often scores when he plays from the start.
You bumping the thread, you mean?
He's clearly got his 2 golden geese in dear young Brennan & Angelos that he'll do anything to defend. Touching in a perverse way.
Yeah but apparently according to the stats he’s as involved in general play as some of the best wingers in the league.
I’m not sure what alternate reality this all happens in though.
Defending Levy, Ange and Brennan. Aberdeen’s playbook.
Two down one to go is how I see it.
For those hilarious banter merchants putting funnies on this (no point for the two I’ve obviously got on ignore) - do you honestly, gun to head, think he was the biggest problem tonight?
More so than the team that was picked? More so than Bentancur? Richarlison? Our new £55m winger that couldn’t score in a brothel? Simons being played out of position? Odobert and his permanent state of confusion? Tel being Tel?
Johnson was fucking dogshit, but not the biggest problem.
"Johnson was fucking dogshit, yet again but what about the others? Blame the others! Especially that £55M pound winger who shits all over Johnson as a footballer and is our main man in attack, blame him!!!"
Just remember that one day in the near future this guy won't be a Spurs player.
There is something to cling to.

Considering this is the Brennan Johnson thread, I think it makes a lot of sense that we're talking about Brennan Johnson specifically here.
Hence “was Brennan Johnson the biggest problem tonight”.
Honestly not sure how that could be more about Brennan Johnson unless my question was tattooed on his forehead.
Possibly the most simple minded post I’ve seen on here for a long time. And that’s including my own.
He did get into some good positions but didn't get the pass today, however he isnt getting the nod from Frank simply because he doesn't contribute enough for long periods, but he is a goal threat and pops up a crucial times.
The good and bad of BJ I suppose.

Stop this biggest problem shite, he cames to the pitch at the expense of moving Kudus to the left. We tottaly lost our attacking threat from the right, he could complete 3 passes, all of 3 after running backwards to Romero, and didn't even showed most of the time, he's a hell of a problem.
Fair enough.
Probably just me showing frustration that his thread was bumped a few minutes after the final whistle when I’d coat a lot more blame on a number of the other players. Just speaks of scapegoating to me.
Additionally, I’m going to have a problem that I will struggle to understand the whole “Kudus brings more to the team” argument, when we score less goals when he’s on the right than we do when Johnson is.
I do get I’m in a very small minority here, but I’m not going to just join the troupe of giggling schoolgirls because people don’t agree with me.
From what I can see, there are plenty of player threads bumped after the final whistle. Johnson is far from the only one getting critisism tonight and rightly so.
Regarding the Kudus/Johnson argument, I think Johnson is way more dependent on scoring goals to contribute to the team. Perhaps not tonight but usually I think Kudus adds something to the team even when he's scoring goals or assists as he's a constant threat to the defenders. When Johnson doesn't score goals, he offers virtually nothing.
