Criticism is mounting against Brennan Johnson, who played with Son Heung-min.
The English Football Insider said on the 31st (Korea time) "Tottenham was eliminated in the fourth round of the EFL Cup on the 30th with a 0-2 defeat to Newcastle."Johnson was sluggish during the call-up of the Welsh national team in October, and after his return to Tottenham, he did not recover his harrowing form of the 2025-2026 season at all. "
Johnson and Hisalisson's poor performance in the defeat of the match is being pointed out. Overall, the team performed below expectations.
Coach Frank had a lot of worries after his elimination from the Cup. This is because we have to decide whether to use Johnson ahead of the upcoming match against Chelsea on November 2. He seemed to have completely lost his confidence, and again he had no presence against Newcastle in this EFL Cup.
Johnson was careless in his handling of the ball. Of the 17 passes, only 11 (65%) were connected correctly. All four crosses ended in failure, losing the ball as many as 14 of the 28 touches.
The media outlet said: "Frank demands high activity from his players in both defense and attack, but Johnson has won just one of three contests and has shown little willingness to press or join the defense"Johnson, who is in his third season with Tottenham, actually played only once in the early 2024-2025 season."
Johnson scored 11 goals in 33 Premier League games last season. At that time, Son Heung-min played well, creating chances to score with good passes several times. However, as soon as Son Heung-min left the team, he fell into a slump.
The media reported that Johnson, who was recruited as Tottenham's future, is now completely losing his position in the club"Considering the performance of Mohammed Kudus and the return of Dejan Kulusevski, Frank already has enough winger resources."
Tottenham recruited Johnson for about 50 million pounds (about 93.9 billion won), but it is unlikely that they will receive that amount again. Nevertheless, the club is expected to be able to push for a significant sale in the January transfer market. As Johnson shows no signs of regaining his form, the club is showing signs of withdrawal.
