His decision making already stands out. Numerous times in past, we have seen our other right wingers - Lucas & Lamela, more often than not take the wrong decision - to say shoot on sight or make wrong passes ,when just look up & pass 5 yards would do
Even though its just 15min, can already see his decision making is miles better
1 or 2 times in transition, attack broke down with him- it was more down to him not in sync with his teammates. That will come quickly when he gets a run of games. Certainly looks a promising signing

Like Bentancur he just exudes a stronger more physical presence than we see from Lucas, Winks and even Skippy. Does that come from playing his junior football in -5 degrees on bone hard pitches in Sweden? probably. What I liked about him yesterday was that he constantly played with his head up, a bit like Kane he (nearly) always seemed to know what was going on around him, not bad for a player who only met his teammates last week.
Speed is not going to be his thing but to me in that short glimpse he looks like an intelligent playmaker and boy, do we need that.
As most have said his decision making and composure will be the difference and it's much needed in our attack. Son, Lucas and even Bergy can be quite erratic but Kulu slows the game down and will pick the right pass more often than not.
A lot of players on their debut might have gone for glory and hit a shot straight at the defender's legs but he delayed until the very last moment and put it on a plate for Bergy who fluffed it.
Once it's Kane and Son on the end of those we will see his assists rocket.

Didn’t realize the ball bobbled before Bergwijn hit it. Explains the miss.
He joined here the 23rd of June 2020 and I’m pretty sure I put him on ignore the 24th of June. Better late than never I say!Decided gonna block anyone who needlessly and incorrectly criticised this guy yesterday.
Can’t be arsed with the inaccuracy or the negativity. Most of those who were doing it are well known trolls such asIgula so should’ve done that anyway.
He looks like a “ clever” player and you need those types
I know this isn't the point, but who the hell puts godawful music like that to a football video
He's already laid on some good chances against a good side within half an hour of a debut days after joining.
Scoring and assisting is not the be all and end all and he has already arguably shown more than Bergwijn and will settle in very quickly because he speaks the language already and is suited to the English game.
I have little in the way of doubt that we won't make this permanent tbh even now.
I am a cup half full kinda thinker, he will do well simply because he moves around with or without the ball which is important.
He also wanted the ball and was prepared to do something positive with it.
First impressions are good, same with Bentancur...told you he likes a tackle.
With a few bad apples out the door things are once again looking up.

should of had a debut assist. awful from bergwijn that attempt, ball was bouncing but hes leaning right back.
TBH, Kane, Berg & Sonny all spurned legit opportunities.....
Could have absolutely smashed them.
Brighton are hard to beat so its even more impressive that we beat them, had control of the majority of the match and as you've said should have scored more goals.
That’s what I thought last night. They’ve caused most teams a lot of problems , so it was a promising performance how we handled the game
dont think he is quick enough for the rw kept opting to pass safely
needs to be central behind kane, passing is good and he will get loads of assists for sure

Brighton seemed to be pressing us all over the pitch. Good news is that the Spurs squad last night looked up for it and were not tired so we responded well and controlled most of the game.
