Not that I’ve seen to be honest.
He was great against Newcastle, his best performance in a spurs shirt in my opinion and all I saw was positives in here.
I also saw people acknowledge that he was better playing off the right (something I agree with).
He struggled today and as this is a forum it’s not unusual for people to air their opinions. If people can’t wait to jump on his back that’s their problem, but some of the over egging of his display today is pure revisionism. I’m sure he’d be the first to admit it wasn’t his best display (assist for Richy aside)
I’m not hating on the kid at all and can see how much he’s involved, I just merely pointed out that the assist today doesn’t mean he played well.Look at the big picture.
Could of had more assists against Chelsea and Arsenal.
Was great against Newcastle (hit woodwork twice), great assist against Palace, scored against Wolves.....another assist today and rebound from his saved effort for our second.
He's heavily involved.

He needs to be braver though and go at his fullback more often. The defenders and midfield players are tasked with taking risks and playing out, he should be comfortable taking on his opposing defender more often
He has 12 apps with 1 goal and 3 assists.People are moaning about him every fucking week.
He's producing end product nearly every game.
First season, peoples expectatios are stupid.
He has 12 apps with 1 goal and 3 assists.
Which is a goal involvement every 3 games.
I dont think he's been that bad though.
Yeah, there's a big difference between some of the recent posts and some earlier in the thread that were literally saying he wasn't good enough.I just think there's a bit of hyperbole in here at times. I see it a fair bit when anyone says anything slightly negative or critical of a player or the team in general. It just gets blown out of proportion and made out like people are having a go and more angry than I'm sure they are. There's nothing wrong with highlighting weaknesses of a player and wanting more from them. Even if they're young players with potential. You can be happy with a player and appreciate their potential and still point out weaknesses. I don't see the big deal.
I think the contrast that comes with confidence will result in us seeing a different player.As I say, I think he's doing well but with his skillset, he should be looking to make more of an impact throughout the 90 minutes.
That's not meant to be criticising the lad because he's young and new to the team, he just doesn't quite have the impact over the full 90 yet.
He kinda flits in and out of the game.
He'll only get better because the early signs are good, very good and he's got the potential to be a proper game changer. Hopefully we'll see that as his confidence grows and he settles in to the team.
Yeah, he just needs to settle in a bit.I think the contrast that comes with confidence will result in us seeing a different player.
The finish from Richarlison epitomised that today, relaxed,finessed.
In contrast, Johnson is trying to blast every effort, a goal or two will change that dramatically.
I believe we have a great talent on the books that we just need to give some time to settle and he will flourish.
I would say it was a bigger move for Udogie, Sarr (both younger) and Van de Ven (same age), as Johnson already had a full premier league season behind him, playing in every one of Forest's games in 22-23. He's playing well in bursts but the other three I mentioned are bossing entire games most of the time. I'm also convinced he's going to get better though but he shouldn't leave it too long.Yeah, he just needs to settle in a bit.
It was a big move for the lad and he's understandably eager to make an impact, so that's probably making him a bit nervous and snatch at chances.
At 22, he's only going to get better.
Out of those games he has been a sub in 4, injured and taken off early against Arsenal and Forest and subbed half an hour in against Chelsea after Romero's red card.He has 12 apps with 1 goal and 3 assists.
Which is a goal involvement every 3 games.

He's been way more impressive than Sessegnon imoClearly talented but reminds me a little bit of Sessegnon. Not a huge presence on the pitch and, as someone said above, quite timid. That header at the back post was a real chance but he was far too passive, and pulled out of a bunch of tackles throughout.
Still far too early to really judge and I think he's technically got real quality but I'm hoping Ange toughens him up a bit.
