Folks complain about there being no plan B, but doesn’t Deki give us something different from Lucas and Bergwijn? We need options and if we can criticise anything, perhaps it ought to be that Conte doesn’t seem to be making changes quickly enough when plan A is being nullified.
The issue the last 2 games is we are not playing fast transitions and Emerson is not a good foil for Kulu.
In games like this I’d like to see us change to a 3-5-2 and give Kulu a bit of a roaming role whilst beefing our mid. The problem this creates is that Emerson is not good enough to provide the width on the right to stretch the defence. Maybe therefore bring Moura on as RWB at the same time.

I think he's a good player, but why not let him prove himself again next season? Keep him on loan and if he does well next season,pay the extra to buy him.
he will always find it tough against quicker fullbacks who can outpace him
dont think hes a rw if we sign him to play behind kane i would be over it but not as a long term rw
we need someone with trickery and pace out wide to beat these quicker fullbacks
So how are we going to play next season. Assuming Conte stays, 3 at the back with WB’s is certain. However we're linked with Eriksen and other playmakers. If and it is still if we go for Eriksen the only way I can see him fitting in is as a 3rd MF or just behind the front 2. With Son and Kane the front 2 that means sacrificing Kula. I really cannot see us playing only 1 of Skipp, Bentancur or Hojbjerg. Having said that it is the squad that needs improving so we can play and win when playing twice a week And I would still buy him in preference to amours, Berg or Gil.
Lmao the state of some of the doom and gloomers.
Dejan is quality as he has already shown. Of course we are going to keep him for next season, if not make his loan an outright permanent.
He's a player that our manager and sporting director trusts.

That's nice.
Problem is a strong chance our manager will be
in gay Paris knocking back Krug and oysters not Danny's 2 for 1 voucher deals.
Happy birthday btw, Dejan.
if he is our long term rw we need a better option there, hardly any teams use slow wingers these days
exactly that, hard to judge him when the player directly behind him whos meant to be linking up is the useless emerson. kulu was on fire with doherty behind
Mahrez and Grealish aren't exactly blessed with pace
The smart, long term, not short term penny pinching decision is:
Loan him again next season, knowing you might pay a premium after.
Use the saved cash flow this season to beef up the squad even more.
Reap the rewards of a talented squad competing on all fronts and use that to pay for Kulu and more the season after.
