And finally on Brennan Johnson

When the team is flying, combinations look fluid, rotations are quick, adding him to this is like the cherry on top. His ability to time runs, and get away from his marker mean that a lot of our moves will have the finishing touch. In other words when we’re flying he’s a legitimate asset.

On the other hand, when things are a bit out of sync, confidence is low and we’re struggling to break through teams, Brennan is a real passenger. He struggles to retain the ball, he can’t combine welll and he consistently fails to beat his full back.

Furthermore teams know they can leave their full-back 1v1 with him because he won’t beat them and therefore makes it easier to mark our central players.

He’s a very specific player who should never be the first name on the team sheet but has value. Goals win games after all.

he beat his defender 1v1 to create the chance for sarr’s header. like he did last season vs kyle walker for deki’s header.

he can do it. he just needs to do it more.

City could have really used him today. That Savinho miss. He even did the iconic Johnson raised hand.

idk if you heard man, player growth stops at 23 years old they'll never improve after that /s

I really really like Brennan but I like him most as a game changer off the bench
