So you’re saying he is our KDB?
I just think a lot of SPurs fans only watch our team - which is understandable
but...
Go on any forum for any club and you will read scathing reviews of all players - even their best ones for having shit games, being shit, not being good enough etc etc etc blah blah blah.
There are a very, very few players in the world who play well every game - so judging 95% of pro footballers on whether or not they perform to their top-level in every game is unhelpful and frankly makes no sense.

He's slow as molasses to begin with. So anything that hampers his mobility and movement even further, be it a knock or general fatigue, turns him into a shell of himself. Can't get by anybody, can't hold on to the ball, loses 50/50s more often than not. You might as well play with 10 men.
He has been run into the ground, it's hardly surprising to see him struggle the way he has recently.

The idea he’s been run into the ground so now lacks mobility is absurd. He can’t run. That’s his problem, he’s a very average athlete. So any drop in form suddenly highlights that lack of athleticism. Even when fresh I saw him blatantly outpaced by a cart horse like Dan Burn.
The hoops people jump through to defend him having a shit game are laughable.
Bet you he’s faster than KDB
So am I though.
The clue is that nobody here agrees with you
meh.
pace isn't really a factor when he's played in his correct position
Which is what?
Erm .. ok. He’s not played well in ages, this isn’t one bad game lmao.
well to some extent yes. I just came across this thread and saw people laughing at the fact that people were comparing kulusevski to KDB. My point was on current form he probably is and KDB won't be getting any better from here.So your real point is basically KDB is now shit. He’s that bad even Kulusevski is better than him.
Cool.
I certainly wouldn't swap Kulusevski for KDB right now anyway!
He's been given no rest at all and his position keeps changing depending on who we have available. Cut him some slack.
Do you support anyone at the club or do you just hate on everyone?
I agree that he started well but the longer this season goes on I am more inclined to start questioning the highlighted statement. He has certainly been available more than most but there have been quite a few weeks where he has stunk the place out. I think some people on here are influenced a bit by pundits and commentators like Jamie Redknapp that don’t watch every Spurs game who often say that “Kuluchevski” has been our best player. When available or when picked players like Spence have performed more consistently for me. So at this stage I am not saying that he hasn’t been our best player overall this season but I think it is not as clear as some think. Having said that as I said earlier he has certainly been one of the more available players
i'm sure you know this
I think Spence will get it. It's a popularity contest and right now Spence is universally liked by the fan base where Kulu has his detractors. The fans can associate with Spence journey which is why I think he will get fans player of the season.
Yeah Spence is a decent shout but he’s also just arrived. Kulusevski has been there every minute since the start of the season.
Kulusevski will probably get it but primarily by default, he’s just the last man still fucking standing amongst a bunch of meh shit cunts. And because his cultists will all vote several times each.
Only one that cares enough about Kulusevski to be in a cult is you.
Agree - but that kinda co-insides with the rest of the team - its not like he is the only one stinking the place out..... and moments of magic we get tend to come from his involvement.
Hes not an average athlete. He is in fact an unbelievable athlete. Hes just not explosive as an athlete. More a 3000 m runner than an 100m explosive sprinter.
His form is gone off a cliff though
