I really, really don’t give much of a fuck if he puts in a nice cross and gets an assist if he spends the rest of the 90 stinking up the field.

Every single match thread is ‘Kulu has been a liability’ and then he either does nothing or he gets a g/an and all is forgiven.

Productivity is important but this player is too ineffective during the course of games.

I rest my case.
 
Deuterz said:
What case? The ‘he scores or assists every one in two!’ case where it’s actually barely scraping one in three?

He is nowhere near the most productive players in the league for assists or goals. And the performances are dreadful.

I rested it a minute ago and rest it again.
 
Deuterz said:
He’s a good player to have in the team, I wouldn’t want him to be sold. But as a starter if we want to push on we can do better.

Johnson isn't going to be sold the likelihood is Kulu if we just bring a RW in, not sure if 3 players into 1 position goes.

We'd probably pick up a player who can play on both sides if anything like Neto.

You made an incorrect claim and haven’t made an argument since. I think the judge is looking at you in a confused manner right now and you should probably find a different career.

How would you know what the judge is doing when you are in the cells downstairs waiting for a trip to the Scrubs to start a three stretch?

Somewhat the same being applied to Johnson who is being absolutely demolished by almost everyone. He's also throwing up similar numbers. And although from a smaller sample, so is Werner.

1 GA in 3 is shocking for everyone except Deki, who gets a pass?

He's too much of a passenger for me on that right hand side.

Johnson has also played in loads of balls that have been missed, hit the woodwork a few times and doesn't keep manhandling players in the box, pretty sure that was Deki.

So what's to say their replacement won't have as many missed chnaces created?

“Jota starts for us” is small club mentality.

He starts for Liverpool at times. He’d start for us at times.

I guarantee Kulusevski would start at times for City. He’s caused City massive problems on several occasions and Pep has spoken publicly about rating him.

In a big club there are star players that the team is built around and then everyone else is a starting player. Kulusevski isn’t a star player for any of the big 6 but he’s starting quality for all of them

I mean he’s definitely not starting quality at Liverpool where Salah is nailed every week. He’s not good in midfield or off the left. And he’s definitely never getting in on the right ahead of Saka.

Pep might rotate him in sometimes somewhere but Foden/Silva are both better players in bis preferred role.

Villa and United? Sure.

Jota has 12 g/a. Kulusevski has 8. One of these players has played more than 900 minutes more than the other. Guess which one would start.

One of those has Richarlson, as stiker and Johnson (very young and inexperienced) and Son (no longer as fast) as attacking partners in a system for about 8 months. Guess which one that is?

It drives me mad. Slows us down and everyone has to check back when he cuts back. He’s obviously following instructions. I just think it’s wrong.

Maybe he is following instructions but if you’ve seen Ange’s teams play previously you’ll see that wingers take on full backs at pace and fire into the 6 yard box or look for cut backs if they have time to look up and pick someone out. The way we play with our wingers is different from what you’d call an Ange style of attacking. The other type of goal which is synonymous with Ange’s style is the type of goal we’ve scored against Bournemouth,Everton and even Brighton when we get the pass played in behind full back and centre back and crossed for the striker or other wide player to first time finish. We’ve done that quite well this season at times. We just need more goals or chances coming from wide players being able to beat their man when in a 1v1 situation.

Uh Richarlison is above xG this season and Johnson is mostly a squad player. Son is still one of the best attackers in the league, he’d start for most teams.

Kulu regularly looks the least effective of all of them ffs.
 
Deuterz said:
Yeah he played all of last season. He was terrible. He’s now in a gung-ho ultra attacking system so should be loving it.

He is behind Elanga, McNeil, Pascal Grob, Gordon and level with McGinn for big chances created as per official premier league website. He’s behind Son for us who nobody views as some great creative player. Elite my fucking arse.

People are cherry picking one stat he looks competent in and ignoring everything he struggles with.
Click to expand...

I rate Elanga btw.

Still deciding how much I rate him but he's more than decent in a counter attacking set up.
 
Brian Fantana said:
He’s got the ability to go either way. It should make him more difficult to defend again, not less, but 95% of the time he cuts back onto his left. Seems crazy he isn’t being utilised efficiently.

I think he and the gaffa need to have a long conversational sit around the proverbial 'drawing board' and thrash out exactly what he needs to be for us in respect to our system and the manager's remit for him.

In his first 6 months he was keen to shoot and would cut in and outside of the FB..... Conte must have drilled it the fuck out of him and his instincts (he & Sonny both hinted as much already).

Who knows what message Ange is coaching though........ You'd think he'd drop him if Kulu was flat out ignoring his instructions to get the the byline and whack in crosses most of the time.

Wide wingers keen to cross / 2 adv #8s playing as #10s / inverted FBs was what Angeball was commonly portrayed as before he arrived...... We really only routinely see 1 of the 3.


...........Rather than being inflexible and naive; have we actually been watching Angeball 2.0 this season?

What do you disagree with nicoclaesen

We’ve not seen anywhere near what Ange will be looking for and considering where we are maybe that’s not a bad thing. It shows there’s more scope and improvement still to come which can only take us higher. You can put any system in place and ask the players to play but if they can’t execute it which I still don’t think we are near that then we won’t get the results. As mentioned by many on here we really do have to upgrade our front line for that to happen.

No idea why you'd think that was contrary to anything I just wrote.
