Player Watch Player Watch: Brennan Johnson

[easley91]

Had a great view of his finish. Took that really well. Think he'll be a star for us.

 

[Super_spurs25]

His touch and finish for his disallowed goal, really reminded me of Dele in his early days for us. Seemed to make it look so easy. Shame he was half a yard offside as it was such a tidy goal

So true. Really did remind me of a dele goal

Think he will be a star for us

 

[Ruffinthepuffin]

The touch and finish for his goal was absolutely incredible.
Such a shame it was disallowed.

Absolutely spot on, completely agree mate.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

should be a regular 60th minute sub, every game, 'til Xmas, then a regular starter if he keeps this form up.

 

[easley91]

Saw it on MOTD and it was a lot tighter than I thought considering the offside check was a quick one.

 

[bigfrooj]

Someone better let Mourinho know we’ve signed Deles brother. And he’s bloody good.

 

[dontcallme]

I was working yesterday and have only watched short highlights so far. That control and finish was so good.

 

[daveduvet]

Great ball from Biss too. BJ looks sharp. Didn’t appreciate how many Wales caps he has

 

[worcestersauce]

There's no reason why he should overawed in a Premier league match after playing at Forest but even so he looked right up to speed, I don't think he'll need time to settle in.

 

[Hoopspur]

Personally I think he should start against the goons. This will be the first match (United?) where we won’t have the majority of the possession. Therefore we need to be able to get in behind them quickly. Not suggesting this should happen for every game - just be selective for now.

Agreed. I think there’s positives about both players and Johnson’s pace in behind Zinchenko is a big weapon to use. Go with a fast front 3 of solomun Son johnson and just hope we can play out of their press enough to release them.

 

[SlotBadger]

Was pissing myself during MOTD because of his beaming smile as he winged off to celebrate the winner.

Took several attempts to get a screenshot but a still image doesn’t do it justice.

I would be surprised if Kulusevski doesn't start on Sunday. He's been playing exceptionally well for us and his ball retention and press-resistance will be very handy against Arsenal.

I would probably stick with Kulu. Think we will need his ability to keep the ball in tight areas with their high press, and Porro will need PL's best running athlete on that right hand side.

Win, lose or draw in that second half, Arsenal will still aim to dominate the ball in our half so the space will still be there for Brennan when he comes in.

Its frankly startling how quickly all of our new signings have settled in. This never happens!
