Ex-Spurs Player Brennan Johnson

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Ange squeezed every drop out of this guy, he deserves credit for that. I don't see him having those goalscoring numbers here again under any other manager.

Warning: This video contains some tragic defending/goalkeeping.

Ange loved low balls into the box, and as you can see Johnson was scoring a good amount of his goals by getting on the receiving end of such deliveries even in his Championship days with Forest. Goals 3, 6, 9, 14, 17, 18 in particular resemble so much of most of his goals here.

Those deliveries are almost nonexistent under Frank at the moment, so he has nothing to feed on. And since he offers virtually nothing on the football pitch except occasional goalscoring, he has turned into a complete nonentity. I don't see this changing anytime soon.

He padded his record to cover the shit signing. We played to produce easy tap ins for this poor excuse of a footballer.
 
The beginning of the second half on break and attack.

Xavi passes the ball to Johnson.

With no thought or composure, he just hits a nothing ball as hard as he could against the nearest opposition player.

Offers absolutely nothing.

Yet if Sarr wasn't in place for Richi's he probably would have scored that goal too, and some people would have been knocking one out, trying convince the rest of us of his brilliance.

I am all for giving players a chance under Frank, but he is literally offering nothing, and a liability more than anything.

It was a better team performance with him in the side. Totally undeniable

Thank god Sarr got to it first. He deserves it way more than BJ.

BJ looked pissed off. But he had done nothing to deserve another easy goal.

Brennan is a very good mid-table footballer. Let's hope we can find a club where he proves that.

Don't even know about that.

Anyway, just needs to go,

Frank is being super nice about all the players, as he knows he has to get the best out of them whilst they're still here and not demoralise them, but by the amount of game time he's given to BJ, overall, I think he's made his mind up early on this one.

🙏

I agree, and maybe I was also being nice when I suggested BJ was a mid-table player.
I was surprised when he was substituted today, only because I didn't realise he was actually playing!!
 
He’s woeful.

He doesn’t have a future under Frank or any other manager. If you forced Frank to give you an honest answer I’m pretty sure the first players he’d get rid of and replace would be Johnson and Richarlison.
 
He managed to successfully take a player on which was nice. I think he’s afraid of being tackled.

Didn’t notice him too much in the 2nd half. He did have one play where we were trying to get out and he made no attempt to give Kudus an outlet and basically jogged to nowhere so we gave up the ball.
 
When you guys turn on a player you do it in style. Not sure he deserves the vitriol you're giving the guy. He tracked back alot this game as we were defending for large parts of it and sure he's not Son but he's not Tel either. comments like "his attitude stinks" like you know the guy is mindless he literally celebrated the 3rd goal with Sarr smiling. None of our attack is setting the world alight but in this game he played ok and offered more of a threat than his competitors have for forward positions at the moment. He's a end product guy not a creator which is our main problem position we need creators.

As poor as usual. Didn't seem happy when Sarr scored either.

This is bullshit, shit-stirring. Fk off.

He was all over Sarr trying to get him to celebrate...... Pape was understated.... Turns out one of his nat. team-mates had just been murdered.

He started today and we won 3-0 today.
He also started against Burnley and Doncaster.
Won those 3-0 as well.
