Ange Postecoglou thinks Brennan Johnson has the capacity to find the back of the net with regularity and hopes that his strike against Wolves will give the winger the required confidence in front of goal.

Tottenham made the ideal start at Molineux as Johnson showed great awareness to get goal-side of Nelson Semedo, with the Welshman producing a smart finish after his perfectly-timed run was picked out by Pedro Porro.

However, it all went downhill from there for the away side as Wolves kept knocking on the door and eventually got their reward in stoppage-time, with two quick-fire goals consigning Spurs to their second consecutive loss.

Johnson said after the game to Spurs Play that the players were devastated at the nature of the loss but admitted that they cannot have too many complaints about the result.

How many goals will Johnson score this season?

Postecoglou has earmarked the 22-year-old’s first goal for the club as a positive, admitting that he hopes the player can now kick on after a disruptive star to his Tottenham career.

When asked if the goal can serve as a confidence boost to Johnson, the Australian said (via the club’s official website): “I hope so. It’s not the only measure. He’s one of the ones I think could have been a bit more positive for us in the first half but, again, Brennan’s not really had a clear run at it.

“He’s had a real disrupted beginning to his career for us and I think the more we can get him into these situations there are definitely goals in him.

“There’s more of a goal threat in him but, again, you could see at the end he ran out of legs because he hasn’t played a lot of football since the start of the year.”

Spurs Web Opinion

Johnson’s performance in the first 30 minutes against Wolves was arguably the best he has played in a Spurs shirt so far. The 22-year-old will get better as he gets more accustomed to the system and learns about the strengths and weaknesses of his new teammates.
