Helped us get top 4 when he initially came in
He's just not good as a 1v1 winger in this system, he'd be fine with a continuous overlap outside of him.

Painful watch. Not convinced he's an awful player but he's awful in this system.

Shite. Sell.
If we would have had Lucas Moura we would have won by 5
Son and Lucas would have cooked
Opponents know how to stop him. So one-footed and slow. He has no advantage in playing in this league anymore. I'll only use him next season when we are leading to close the game.If not I'll sell him.
think theres a lot of truth to that. so one footed and doesnt have the pace to make up for it, they can easily nullify him now.

Starting to think it might be a good idea.
No no let's keep him for 5 more yrs after all he's a stalwart like Ben Davies gives his all.
He really does struggle without a FB drawing defenders away.... Numerous times today Porro & Skip just stopped so as to maintain the inside right/left position (as coached) when Kulu would have benefited from a decoy run or the additional outlet to pass to.
the drop off in quality from when he first came and was tearing it up is actually quite mad. maybe its true that he has been sussed now and he hasnt added weapons to his game to cope with it.
one thing i have noticed is that when he actually does go to hit the byline, he does it with ease. they are only occupied with him cutting in, he needs to be hitting the byline so much more and working on his right foot.

Let's not talk crazy
He is physically slower because he is mentally slow.
If you watch him really sprint he is not really slow. Wingers need to time their runs and moves correctly and make little moves to put the defenders off balance. Mahrez wasn’t really that fast but he was a great winger.
He just needs to be sharper and quicker mentally.
Unfortunately, it is very difficult to train a slow brain to get faster.
