The way he combines with those around him is effortless and gets us out of so many sticky situations in our third.

Although I think he ends up at 9, his ability to cut in from that left flank and find the far corner is brilliant
He is so good at getting separation in and around the box to get those shots off, just like Son was in his prime

I think objectively he’s a great player but I also think this is down to the fact we’ve run Porro and Udogie into the ground.
Regardless he has to start on Sunday.
- His comfortability and manipulation out of tight areas is top

Played every position under the sun this season to a consistently refined level, at just 18.
Mature, assured, composed and relaxed in every single action.
Physically blessed with a great engine, solid acceleration and fantastic balance.

So frustrating because at his best he’s so good, just lacks the consistency. Hopefully he can push on now because he was incredible.

- Insanely comfortable in possession, can execute all types of passes
- Speed and comfortability allow him to carry and break lines
- Fast and strong to duel, especially strong in wide areas
- Could be used as a reserved FB/CB hybrid when needed

Bring this boy to the Lane.
I need to see that ability live in the flesh, the type of player you actually pay to watch. 🇫🇷💫

This is much less to do with tactical coaching and more about leadership, mentality and organisation.

His speed in transition is devastating and with Chelsea often leaving their right side open (Reece James or Gusto pushing up), I feel Johnson could really shine.
