thaisiambet Ange Postecoglou is frustrated with netizens and keyboard warriors criticizing young attacker Brennan Johnson after his performance in the North London derby match where he lost 0-1 to Arsenal. All they can do is encourage each other and use the performance to silence the social media bullies. thaisiambet

Johnson’s poor performance last weekend and previous poor performances have come under fire from netizens, who have called him unworthy of wearing the Tottenham jersey, called him a Welsh country bumpkin and even threatened his family.  ( thaisiambet )

The incident really upset the big boss, Postecoglou. The challenge had already been made, but in this era of being a talker on social media, the only way to overcome this is to use your work to fight back. 

“The criticism is one thing because of the post-match anger, and you have to accept that.” 

“But to sit down and type bad things like making things up… believe me, if you said that to my face, I would have punched you in the nose and told you not to do it again.” 

“But they never say it directly, they just hide behind social media… Normally I really hate that kind of behavior. It’s sad that this kind of pattern has become the norm in the world we live in today.”

“When I look at Brennan, I see a young man who is trying his hardest,” 

“Hard work doesn’t always guarantee success, it’s part of the journey of his career that he has to find a way to cope with, but he’s a good boy, a great player and I can only think positively about the good things Johnson can do for us.”

Johnson’s performance has been sluggish for the past 4 matches, with no goals or assists, despite being a regular starter for the most part.
