Ange Postecoglou showed clear frustration as Tottenham dropped points in a 1-1 draw with mid-table Fulham, just days after their stunning 4-0 victory over Manchester City. Spurs’ season has been marked by inconsistency, with wins against top sides like City, Manchester United, and Aston Villa contrasting sharply with shock defeats to Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town.
The £70,000-per-week forward has netted 10 goals in all competitions, emerging as one of Tottenham’s standout players, despite being forced to delete his social media accountsdue to online abuse from critics.
Johnson has scored seven goals in his last nine league games and has also been instrumental in their Europa League campaign, netting three goals in five matches against Ferencvaros, Qarabag, and Roma. However, pundits claim that Brennan Johnson remains unhappy with some sections of Tottenham’s fanbase.
Pundit claims Brennan Johnson’s frustration with Tottenham fans remains
Brennan Johnson has proven his worth since his £47 million move, silencing critics with impressive performances for both Tottenham and Wales. His form has been a standout, but according to former Spurs scout Bryan King, Johnson might still be carrying frustration towards a section of Tottenham fans.
Speaking toTottenham News, King pointed to Johnson’s subdued celebration after scoring against Fulham, suggesting the winger’s gesture of pointing to the crowd reflected his discontent with the ongoing online abuse he’s faced. King speculates that Johnson’s body language, rather than the usual joy of a goal, may have been discontentment towards the critics.
The former spurs scout noted,
“We saw Johnson’s reaction when he scored,”
“He is obviously still not happy with Tottenham fans and comments that have been made about him on social media because he didn’t exactly go into a jubilant celebration when he scored. He made sure people knew how he felt about the way he has been treated by the supporters.”
“I thought he had moved past that. However, it still seems to be bugging him.”
Johnson will have another opportunity to showcase his value when Spurs face Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Thursday. With a chance to build on his strong start to the season, he will look to let his performances on the pitch speak for themselves and prove his worth once again.
