Seems to be getting better every week
now up to 4 goals and 6 assists in the PL this season, a goal or assist every 120 minutes. Only 22 still
thought yesterday was the best he's looked technically too, some nice dribbles. Perhaps playing on the left lets him come inside a bit more and get to be a bit more slalomy, whereas when he's a right footer on the right he's forced to play in straight lines and look a bit stiffer
I wasn't overly excited when he joined and still would be surprised if he became more than a good squad player for us, but thought his progress deserved a mention given he's had quite a lot of abuse thrown his way with some boos and having to turn off his Instagram comments
sadly seems some of our fans made their minds up about him as soon as he arrived but he's clearly had a positive impact on our season

Maybe it's fair to say they're different players that have some similar attributes?

"some similar attributes".
Actually, Rashford in his day was a much better player, but I doubt he would ever have fit into the Aussieglue system because he has a big head.
Jonhson just gets down to business and does what he's told.

He’s got similar attributes Kyle Walker too, but I wouldn’t make the comparison to him either

Fast down the left, direct speed towards goal. Not things Walker is particularly known for tbf

Yeah to be fair, I'm not and I don't think anyone was saying BJ is as good as Rashford was when he was 22. But that they play in a similar way. Upright, fast, direct to goal. Would've been a second striker back in the days of 442.

Johnson is Johnson, ....nothing to do with Rashford.
He's fast down the left, Kulushevski is fast down the right, and then there's Son in the middle playing the ball with either of them.
Its all part of a 2-prong attack. Today Son played it with Johnson.
Actually, Son scored too, and that pass may have come from Kulushevski,...I've forgotten!
But I belie the idiots who think Johnson has anything to do with Rashford. Totally different players.
Johnson brings his talents to AusslieGlue's table, and that's mainly direct speed towards goal.

My god you are an awful poster.

Rashford has 5 goals (non penalty) and 2 assists in the league, 27 appearances (most starts)
Johnson has 4 goals and 6 assists.
For me what Rashford has never developed is a decent footballing brain. His decision making is awful, despite having a lot of natural talent and technical ability he often underwhelms.
Johnson will never have Rashfords pure talent but if he works hard on certain aspects of his game he can certainly match or better Rashfords output.

This right here ^^^
His performances will always looks better playing on the left
