It would be a mistake to play him in the away leg in place of Maddison.

Exhaustion? He’s just come back from 7 weeks off on the sidelines ffs!It's all about momentum and I always felt he was a very good journeyman
Then when he hit good form I happily took a large slice of humble pie
Currently he is toilet but listening to young Bergvall it sounds like Kulu is still suffering from exhaustion so he should get better in time.
I tend to agree... he looks miles off it at the moment... but who plays there instead? We have three fit midfielders and none of them are tens so Kulu will most likely play there.
Who are these quality players?
Or wasn't very good to start with... I notice his song to mock Levy is dead... says it all really.
It was sung against Bodo...
Not really how it works, general fitness and match fitness are two seperate things

I suspect Ange will want us to go out and try and get the first goal of the game so yeah he will probably start and Sarr will be brought on at some stage later in the game.
Ange would never do it but at this point I'd move to a 4-4-2 just to get us to the final.
Either of Sarr, Bentancur or Biss can fill in in the middle. Let Tel and Wilson play as the wingers and you can pair Dom/Richy with either Kulu or Johnson. Dejan's played in that role for Sweden so it wouldn't be that uncomfortable for him.
Search me, I'll admit to being clueless when it comes to figuring out that sort of stuff. Problem is, so is our manager.
The poster Darkshadow seems to be suggesting that Kulu is exhausted because of over use. I am simply saying that he has had 7 weeks off so how can he still be exhausted. How much time does he need to feel less tired? It just seems like people are continuing to make any excuse they can to defend him
It’s about conditioning. Players aren’t exhausted or burnt out in pre season but they aren’t conditioned to play PL football yet because they haven’t played for a while.
Exactly the same happened to Maddison and VDV when they came back last year. Son and Sarr to some degree as well.
Just think of Kulusevski as being 2 weeks into pre season
He was not out for that long and don’t think he needed surgery afaik. Few games missed so he should be fit. Don’t they always say that by now players a basically fit just match fitness.
Lol what he wasn't out for that much time at all. Pre season?!?! Jeeeeze the excuses..
Guy has spent his entire Spurs career in the same cycle of some good form, awful period and people still do this shit.
Sell.
Every player is different though.
He was out over a month with international break included. That’s longer than a summer break
Oh noes not a month!
Bloke looks like he runs through treacle. Was shite for a good period BEFORE injury too.
Was definitely burnt out pre injury. Played way too many minutes and ran way too many KMs during that injury crisis
I’m all for singing get rid of levy , but that song was really shit.
On god never heard as many excuses as you hear for this middle of the road player.
Can’t wait for his one patch of top form next season where he’ll be wOrlD cLaSS again.
