Never liked him as a player, but have to seriously respect Milner. 24 top flight seasons and he made an impact when he came on. Class act.
Didn’t see any of the game but 2-0 down to finish 2-2 seems decent. Don’t think expectations can get to carried away this season. I still think European places finish is a decent season and if we can add a domestic cup can be a great season.
I thought a draw was the least we deserved. Would have taken a draw before kick off and a point at the Amex is not to be sniffed at. Another one of those games where too many players were just not quite at it, lots of possession but little in the way of chances. Good to see Udogie back and it was a good job he had a good game as he was our left side. Odobert was on periphery of the game which is more than I can say for Johnson who might as well have stayed on the bench as he would have made as much impact from there as he did by actually coming on.
The BBC match stats ( to them) give you an accurate precis of what happened. Hopefully the coaching staff will derive some new work items to ensure such games are actually wins.
I can't understand how Johnson got this far in the PL. He has a goal touch for sure but how did he ever get to show it. He is so lightweight
It really wouldn't surprise me if he was moved on in the next window. Particularly if as anticipated Savinho comes our way.
Frank's team shows more agression than recent Spurs teams and all the better for it. Of course it shows up how weak Johnson is.
Missed the game as was out with fam for my Mum’s bday weekend. Sounds like everyone I’ve spoken to has said Xavi absolutely has to play 10 from now on and that Udogie played as if he had to remind everyone he’s a certified baller. LW definitely a problem area for us though, Semenyo really would’ve made the summer window a 10/10, man. A point at the Amex is better than what a lot of other teams will get, slightly more impressive when you factor in we were 2-0 down too, good character.
Frank thinks that he can play on both wings, but I don't think that he can. He needs to get back to basics and do the things that he's good at. Play him on the right, let him cross the ball and get on the end of other people's crosses. Get him running in behind and shooting. Highlights from his time at Forest: He combined well with Spence. Do that again. Porro, Spence, Kudus and Johnson is a very respectable right wing. That's even ignoring Kulusevski while he's absent. Odobert, Tel, Richarlison and Kolo Muani can work out the left. Frank has got great numbers from his forwards at Brentford. Mbeumo, Wissa and Toney all got at least 20 goals for them. I'd like to believe that he'll get Johnson to be as effective for us. He's certainly shown the eye for goal to get there.
Not convinced by the offside on the first goal. The line seems to be arbitrary on these semi-automated decisions. How much is semi?
I'd like to see Frank develop BJ as a striker , he has shown that he is the most clinical of all out strikers in this squad
