The heat around Brennan Johnson’s ‘penitentiary’ cartoons is frankly eclipsed by the reality of what an all too frequently inept footballer he can be. In terms of performances, consistent impact, and recognition from peers, Johnson’s goal-scoring prowess, high-intensity play, and key moments in big games align with the status among modern wingers.
Yet there is always a ‘but’, and this clip serves to highlight the infuriating aspect of his game. Last night for Wales, he managed to make just 12 touches of the ball.
Here, he doesn’t even attempt to unsettle Djed Spence.
BJ didn’t register a single shot on goal.
Maybe this is as good as it gets.
