Player Watch Player Watch: Brennan Johnson

[Hoddle&Waddle]

"Ladies and gentlemen, nominees for the funniest chat equivalent of stand up comedy include....."

No need to get your little knickers in a twist over a different opinion on a football player.

I think hes average, deal with it.

 

[Lappi]

I've been impressed with his overall game and intelligence. Looks a very good system pass and move player. Combined with his pace makes him very useful to have in the squad.

His lack of ability to beat a man means he'll probably never become a really top class starting winger, but that's ok

It's not that he can't beat a man though. In fact he did it against Villa in the first half where he rinsed Digne I think it was. He's no Messi and of course his dribbling isn't elite but it's not terrible. I'd describe him as a good team player, good movement, very quick, OK finisher, OK dribbler.

Add to that, 22 and still learning his trade. What is likeable is that he forces average and slower defenders to play with larger gaps which creates space while still being able to run behind them.

 

[Trent Crimm]

BJ is fine. Give him a break.

 

[GetKaned]

Reminds me of 15/16 Dele

Reminds me of 15/16 Dele

Really? For me he's kind of the opposite of Dele, he doesn't rely on instinct, he thinks and takes care over every pass or finish. His blistering pace with technical ability is so rare. He reminds of Owen quite a bit.

He has the same talent as Kulusevski and Kane with staying calm and picking the right pass.

I think he's going to be massive for us. Very stop start to his career, but in my eyes he has everything to be top class.

He can comfortably cover 3 positions, I think he will end up as a CF and replace Son.

I said he "reminds" me of 15/16 Dele as in his appearance. Not play style.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Fancy him to get a goal against City.

 

[Locotoro]

Fancy him to get a goal against City.

After Sons hattrick?

 

[djhotspur]

I just hope for once we take these bladdy chances

 

[E17yid]

Average is probably a tad harsh but he hasn’t been anything special. I’ll put that down to settling in and injury and what not. I’ll be expecting more from him next season, though.

 

[SpursSince1980]

He's started three or four games for us? Also coinciding with one of the biggest injury and suspension crisis' we've had in many years. More is expected of him in terms of minutes, so I'm not surprised he hasn't lit the world on fire just yet. Nor will he on Sunday. Just like the whole team, we are in a bit of a suffer stage, and things will be ugly for the next two months, until we have at least four or five players back from injury.

 

[tooey]

How anyone has a strong opinion on if he's any good or not yet is beyond me. Unless, or course, you've watched shit loads of his football prior him joining us (unlikely). People love to go early, let's just watch him play for a bit first.

 

[DanielJohnCosta]

Been like one of our best since playing, what’s everyone on about?

 

[tevezito]

Fancy him to get a goal against City.

Let's hope it's not in the first few minutes like at Wolves.

 

[stevespurs]

I think he has a bright future. Pace to burn, he can finish, and looks a good kid. As the season progresses, I think we’ll see him develop under Ange. Nipping in at the back post for a tap in.

 

[chas vs dave]

It's a bit too early to pass judgement on him. He came back from injury, and has only played 2 games.

Seems a bit premature to label him as anything.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Let's hope it's not in the first few minutes like at Wolves.

Ha I’d take that bro just hope we’d then go on to score another few

 

[easley91]

A couple writing a young player off after a few matches since joining and what? Two starts in an injury hit side with injuries of his own?

Never change SC. Never change.
