Brilliant Balance, body feints, timing of when to move the ball in relation to the body positioning of his opponent (extraordinarily similar to watching an elite boxing technician pick his shots), and an explosive first step even though top speed isn’t great and the savvy to use his body to protect the ball.
A bit of Bale and a bit of Dembele. Or you could say Lamela on Steroids with way more composure.
He’s a magic player. That’s it. Love him
When the stats back up what you’re seeing >>>>>

The boxing analogy is pretty on point, he's like one of those boxers who has a perfect sense range and can just lean out of range of a swing without having to move backwards. He baits the opposition into overcommitting to a block/tackle, and almost has to wait for them to finish fucking up, so that space opens up for him to move forward or pick out a pass.
His assist for Son against Villa last season where Mings went to ground is the perfect example.
Reminds me so much of Dembele. You kinda know what’s coming but you can’t stop it anyway.
I used to watch the big man do that little jink to his left and marveled at how opponents never seemed to be able to intercept the move and rob him.
Kulu does just enough with his right foot to keep defenders off-balance and guessing.
If any of you are looking for Emerson’s dot, just keep looking left and down.
We missed him so much. His absence destroyed our entire attack, without him it is just too easy shut Son and Kane out of the game.
I think our form will explode as long as he stays fit.

emerson royal was on the bench lol
I went back and read the beginning of this thread — those who weighed in on whether he would be a good signing.
Some of those comments seem prescient now.
Meanwhile, others should be eating humble pie for the rest of the season.
You know who you are.

Don't read page 91 and 92 whatever you do.

I noticed in the Leeds game that he's been cutting in a lot less and just driving into the box with his right foot. Clearly something he's been working on.
Last season his cut inside routine sometimes limited his output.
A good run by Kulu and well spotted by Kane. But it wasnt Emerson, it was Sanchez , who never once looked like he was going to pass the ball for Kulu, it was always going towards Kane.
Did the same for the Bentancur thread.
I am almost tempted to go back and quote them when some of these wizards next piss me off!
he plays well above his years of course, but his body looks to have filled out and his body moves like hes well ahead of his years too. cant think of many other players that ive thought that about before. he looks like a fully grown 30 year old but hes only 22. whether this is a good thing well see later down the line.
think hes rapidly becoming the fan favourite. we all love kane but kulu is just electric. bout time we nailed a bit of recruitment like this. hopefully hes here for the next 10 years because hes on a fast track to becoming a genuine world class player. people going on about mbappe and haaland, this kid could be the best of this generation.

It's always the 'experts'
Gotta hope that we can keep him which might not be easy if he continues like this. Watched the game yesterday with my friend who worked for Spurs. We both thought the same. I honestly think if he was a yard quicker — not that he’s slow — he’d be at a higher profile club already.
They must have 35 monitors plugged in watching every single league, somehow have an opinion on every single player we're linked with.
