Kulusevski fan boys? You mean Spurs fans who support their best players?

being honest, was probably a but unnecessary in my reply.

Just losing patience with all the pathetic self-pity and doom-mongering. Now all of a sudden all of our players are shit and always were. It's fucking annoying.
Could be that you just have a personal issue with Kulu, which is mental but obviously completely fair enough and as you said the reason for forums.

Spurs are cursed with underperforming average players. Cursed. I respect that Spurs fans want to see certain players do well. But at what cost? Weve become Battersea dogs home for strays.

Son cant get a tune, but hes always been on and off and a couple of seasons ago I said we should sell him and was laughed at

Winks, another that has been here what seems like forever who we are all hoping will be the next Pirlo.

Lo Celso, Ndombele, Gil, Sanchez, Dier. Our refusal to move players on hurts this club.

Now Ill say that Kulusevski has shown more about him then these players, but lets be honest the bar isnt that high. Is Kulu an improvement over Lamela?

Maybe im harsh on Kulu. I think ultimately his place could become more central in an eriksen type role or behind the striker
 
First drop in form since he signed 12 months ago. Do people expect consistency every week? He's given us more than enough.

That's what depth is for. Unfortunately, we don't use it.

Agree with you here.

It's definitely form.

How many of us would love to have Rashford on current form?
Last season if you'd offered us a Rashford for Son swap, nobody on here can seriously have claimed they would have taken it. Now we'd bite your arm off.

Things aren't great but we also bleat on about wanting the club to take a long-term view in their planning, then bang on about Conte not playing young talents but also jump on our best players at the first sign of a dip in form.

Saying that, there is a balance, Son could def use a period on the bench. Could even be he's better suited to the super sub role this season. Kulu as well looks leggy, maybe let him fully recover with a game or 2 on the bench. Just don't want to read about how they are both shit and always have been.

If only I thought you a man of character and integrity I'd place a bet with you (mostly just to embarrass you again publicly and make clear to all that you don't know what you are talking about...as volume doesn't trump accuracy)...like a bet on DCL scoring or Joelinton coming good.

This player will only perform when space is provided for him. He will not improve in the PL beyond what we have seen...mostly because inconsistent players are players that aren't good enough...and they are showing you that with their inconsistency. He (and they) wants to do it he just can't against the level of athleticism he is encountering. Anyone that fancies themselves as football cognoscenti shouldn't miss this. But not surprised you have.

What is your actual bet?

We know you bizarrely think Kulusevski isn’t good but what bet are you actually offering?

Son needs to be sold this summer. He is not getting any younger and I don't see that passion/smiley face on him no more and it would be a waste of salary to have him on as a super sub...

Playing an out of form player out of position seems like a really bad idea.

Playing an out of form OAP in his historic position is also a really bad idea. We need to be bold and try things, not adhere to this current approach just because. Get some legs and energy into the side, starting with Richy upfront and Danjuma wide

I suspect that he was rushed back from injury. He looks off pace and like he doesn't go in as hard on challenges.

We should afford him the time to heal properly. The question is if we will.
 
He seems to be in a bit of a mood. No idea why he keeps dithering on the ball. Cut inside, and get the shot off.
 
He was really poor in the first half, but he looked like his old self again in the second one. He's absolutely a confidence player, I hope he goes on a tear now.
