Feels like he's better centrally than as an Ange winger.

I love Kulu's ability to read the game and control the ball. Also his physical power.

But what first half prove to me is that he can very well work in tight spaces in middle of the pitch. Would be such an asset from the middle to find perfectly angled passes to fast wingers and wingbacks.

I'm not one that think that all attacking players have to be Lennonesque speed-demons, however when I've watched our games this season there have been quite a number of situations when I've seen Kulu receive ball in very-very good position on the RW area, after which he runs but then has to make a cutback. And at those moments I've felt that if all this would have happened bit more centrally and he could release Porro/Johnson/Son on the wing to chase the ball at full speed it would create more havoc in opposition defense.

I was not 100% sure, how would he manage to control the ball in extremely tight areas in the middle, but I mean... doing it against City midfield in Etihad is perfect test to that matter. And he passed with flying colors!

So I would like to see him being more central in future.

Also if there would be moments we cannot use Son (I hope there will not be many), I would actually like him to be played as CF.
He can take long balls down and control them. He can dribble and hold on to the ball in central areas. And he can feed overlapping attacking players from the middle as well. Plus he is tall and big and could also be in the end of chances. His game reading and timing are good.
