He surprised me yesterday with a few really good crosses on his weak foot. Maybe not as 1-footed as I originally thought!

Well I can't remember seeing much of that. But we all know that I spend 90% of my time here in the Harry Kane thread.
I have to admit that I always have concerns about players purchased from Serie A simply because the football is so different there. It's so much slower and you get time on the ball. Doesn't mean players should automatically be written off though before they've even kicked a ball for us.
that strange, almost unnatural pass to Son for his goal was sublime.
was great improvisation to create the chance; Modric was the king of that.
He's been great. Doubts I had have been proven wrong thus far. His ability to make incisive passes at the right moment have been so fucking refreshing compared to Lucas Moura's consistent holding on to the ball for too long.
I think in games like Burnley/Middlesbrough we may still have an issue of lacking players who excel in small spaces, but Kulu/Bentancur have really taken to PL games where it's played at a high tempo and there's lots of space to break in to.

Its really refreshing to have someone who can pick a pass rather than just another speed merchant with limited end product.
Sadly one poster wanted Lo Celso back as 'he was clearly good enough for 30 minute cameos' and didn't like it pointed out that one goal and 2 assists in two and a half seasons (even with injuries) suggested the exact opposite .....
I know that people are comparing him to Eriksen since he has brought a creative spark back to the attack. But is it just me that see a lot of Rafa in him?
100% was that.
If we had both players when we were at our our peak of 4 years ago they would both have been great back-ups.
I am not saying they are absolutely what we need to challenge in terms of first team regulars but as squad players, so far they most definitely would be integral
I just hope they maintain thet levels, which is very much down to Conte and of course the players themselves.
whoscored...u21..of the week...Is this actually a thing?
Definitely better than expected. Hopefully he does enough to not have to see lucas again.
Hmm. A bit. He doesn't look too much of an attacking threat in the way VDV did, but I guess it's early days.
I chided someone back when we signed him for comparing him to Arjen Robben, but there is a similarity to the geometry of their game and the areas they’re looking to exploit.
Robben was quicker and more of a goal threat from the top of the box of course. But he was less physically imposing and had also barely just arrived at Chelsea at Kulu’s age.
The comparison to Eriksen is natural because finally there’s another player in a white shirt in the attacking third anticipating his teammates movements and setting them up.
Actually he reminds me most of Kranjcar.
