You could always explain why you think our tactics stifle these players and point us toward demonstrable aspects of their respective skillsets that are clearly hampered by said tactics/formations. This would give the reader further insight into your take AND provide the opportunity for further scrutiny of that insight. Passing that scrutiny would provide the confidence in your opinion on this matter.
A hard task, I know, considering how shit at times all have looked at even the basic aspects of the sport...and through 4 different managers and presumably tactical remits.
Or,...
...you could just assert and then re-assert your position as if the mere power of said assertion provides its merit.
Your point would be valid if he ever scored in the league for us.
Still 0 goals and counting
Sometimes players hit a bit of bad form, and unfortunately Spurs supporters are the most finicky to use this to predict the player is pants and never will be any good. Was it only December or even January that Kulu was out injured, our team was creating nothing and the calls for Kulu’s return on this forum was without naysayer.
Please don’t poop the bed. This kid is the real deal. He will come good.

When he doesn't will you stop happy clappy opining on player's form? You know, because you'd be wrong again?
Agreed.
He showed us last year how good he can be in the right set up.
Conte fucked them all up with his approach.
We have some of the most fickle fans in football, we really do. Deki has shown he has great talent and can do the business in the PL. Well worth signing at £30m.
He has had a shit season but that’s all it is. A shit season. We will find it very hard to find a player of his level for the same price.

We really do have a very fickle and fair weather fanbase. At least online. No playere is better than their last game. We treat our players awfully.
People act like out of form/non performing players have murdered their dogs, not just had a bad game of football.
just 22 as well, he looks like a big old seasoned pro but he's still a youngester. Going to be inconsitant, look forward to seeing him playing in a team that plays attacking football
Shit. He’s going to leave us and play for a team who play attacking football???
People ARE all over Son. More people think he should go compare to Kulu.
It doesn't feel like it. He pops one in from 20 yards and people think he's back. I'd rather Richarlison failing to score, but not giving the ball away dozens of times
If giving the ball away is what we are looking at, I saw some stat that show Kulu loses the ball more than anyone in the team. Might have to check.
100% especially when we have such a deadly striker upfront. Should have built a cohesive attacking unit to get the best out of Kane, rather than chuck in Son and hope for some magic
It's possible. He does seem to get tackled heavy and early.
I don't particularly like Conte's approach (format/tactical) and it does have it's flaws, especially the constant use of a CM2 and attacking 3, but I have a bigger problem with him watching the same players fail to carry out basic functions week after week (presumably keep pointing out these basic failings to them) and then keep picking them.
Like I said, it's a bit egg/chicken/egg it's hard to figure what's making what bad. Is it players constantly doing shit stuff or is the system failing them. I'd say it's both.
Not really. I am not talking about scoring here. Kulu literally missed the standing still ball.
