In the forest game they had done their homework on him, and read him like a book
I said that a clause by clause dissection is not necessary and that it is hard to reply to you when you break posts down into such small chunks.
You are free not to care but if you’re going to reply then at least respond to what I’ve written.
In your opinion; perhaps.
In some cases it will be the nature of the post i'm responding to.... In this case, there was a lot of shit thrown at the wall in a relatively short post. It didn't feel necessary, nor worthy of me composing a carefully constructed piece of prose in response. I just threw back a bunch of 'bullet points' in a similar fashion.
I did.
You stated that the format of my reply inspired "hate".... I'm sorry about that, but other posters saw fit to appreciate the content for what it is.
I'm not sure what you'd deem to be an appropriate response here, tbh.... I mean, obviously you'd probably prefer me to say "noted; I'll never do it it again", but I'm afraid it's just sometimes convenient for me to reply in such a manner.
Did they miss the chapter about him possibly assistin Kane then
Good player but I think we have overrated him a little which is not necessarily a bad thing as most fans will always have bias toward their own players.
Very few of us can look at a player and judge him objectively without any emotions or biases.

You don't overrate anyone you negative clown.
Overrated him in what sense?
He has 6 goals and 10 assists in 18 starts for us at the age of 22....
What were you expecting?
Kulu's been a 10/10 signing thus far.
Only minor concern I have after watching the Forest game is that maybe he's starting to get found out a little bit. A lot of his moves on the ball in and around the box were getting shut down whereas when he first joined, he was gliding past players with ease.
I'm sure teams and defenders are now doing their homework on him and watching film. He's going to eventually need to adjust somehow to add more to his game as he doesn't have blistering pace and/or agility for a winger.
With the head on his shoulders, I've got no doubt he'll be able to keep improving but just an observation.
I feel like he needs to shoot more.
His left foot is a wand. There was a moment against Forest where it looked like he was going to shoot on his left but he cut back onto his right to try and take it outside the defender and then cut it back (or shoot with his right) but the defender read it.
Just shoot with your left.
At that point I think the defender had blocked a sight of that off as I'd imagine they'd be versed in his strength of his cut in and whip move that we've seen from Kulu.
Good that he has ability and confidence with his right to attempt though..
This is one reason why you need variation of players in attack to keep defenses on their toes...but preferably on their arse
There maybe isnt a wide enough opening. I just think that with the amount of film and video sessions players go through now a days, attackers need to be able to constantly adapt their game or otherwise have electric pace/quickness or athleticism. I can almost predict what Kulu is going to do when he’s around the box and I’m sure defenders know what’s coming as well. He’ll need to adapt and come up with different solutions in and around the box as the season progresses as teams will have a better idea of what he does.
Shut up, bitch!Guys guys guys lets not fight over me you’re making me blush
MOTD did a bit on him after the Southampton game (I think), and analysed his game quite thoroughly. Made him seem like he was the second coming of Maradona. I don't like it when they do that, just seems to jinx the player. Just let him develop and settle in at his own pace, he's been marvellous so far, of course he's not going to rip it up at every game. He takes attention away from H and Sonny and gives us different options up front.
LOLAirfixx Responding to a post criticising him for doing a clause by clause dissection by dissecting it clause by clause.
hes the sort of player that gets better with better quality in and around him. although kane has been scoring hes not been anywhere near his best and sons been awful. when the players around him are bang at it hell be thriving as hes a team player not an individual. still think he needs the runs of doc to help either give him another option or take defenders away from him, emerson doesnt offer that threat as a wingback.
