Although I agree with a lot of what you said, just because people on here express there opinions hat he's been very poor for us, does not mean we don't support him. Would like nothing more for him to turn onto the next Kane

Your postings on Janssen are more 'stirring up a hate-mob' than 'supportive', in all honesty.

He's deceptively young and in his first season in a new league and country. The lack of time you're giving him to adjust is scandalous! He has not been bought, imo, as a like-for-like replacement for Kane. But as someone they hope to develop into someone similar. If it weren't for Kane's injuries this season, he probably would have seen a lot less game time - and likely, faced a lot less criticism as he adjusts.

Everyone is saying he's not been as successful as we'd like but a lot of people think there's hope......Nobody has said he's going to ever be a raging success but rather he 'could be'......plenty of our 'experts' have said there's no way. No way at all and that's laughable.

The reason this all gets so heated is because some people's "opinion" consists of hilarious comments like "fatsen" or people passing judgement with a finality that doesn't allow for their being wrong and suchlike..........There's a way of coming across sensibly and there's a way of coming across like a total dipstick. If anyone wants to be a flange, that's cool, be a flange about it but IMO that's the reason the reason that threads get bumped and it all becomes an argument about right and wrong when actually, it doesn't need to be like that.

can see a touch of heskey in him....and I don't mean that as a negative.

Think in time he'll do well, just needs to get a better grasp on his positioning and reaction times

He uses his body so well, always gets it inbetween the opposing player and the ball. He also had a really lovely turn on him. So so happy for him, he's worked really hard all season and is finally getting shots on target from scoring positions!

Has got better and better in last few games and is starting to look like he is going to become a valuable squad player for us. Delighted for him.

Important goal. Belief will flow that he can contribute.
His best performances have come recently from off the bench and if he can grab goals to boot, then his team mates will trust him more and more and he will get more opportunities.

It's the exact same characters who want him sold that wanted Son, Rose, Dembele, basically half of the entire playing staff sold.

Some people never learn.

It takes time to settle and the guy is only 22 FFS. Seriously. The majority of our best players all struggled for at least 1 season.

You're wasting your breath mate. These people will never learn. Even when their impatience is proven wrong they either don't admit the player has improved or try and say you're petty for digging them out.

I guess some fans just live in self entitled bubbles where there is no accountability for the bollocks they spout.
