You're probably right. But I think I'd rather have perisic at rb and sessegnon or Davies at lb.
Emerson has improved a little bit. But quite clearly he's the weak link in our offence and defence.

There's more of a knock-on effect than your comments suggest:
Perisic is no FB.... Especially once you play him on his weaker side.
Davies or Sess is not significantly better as a L-FB than Emerson would be on the right.
4231 with 2 of our CMs wouldn't be great.
People would be left crying out for a classic CAM-style player.
I think Liz Truss would have summit to say about that right now!!
FIXED!
It was painful watching Eriksen making manure tick on Sunday, even if the pain was significantly reduced by the stuffing of woolwich.
Peak Eriksen was our footballing brain, almost always making the right pass to keep the move flowing, and scoring a dozen or so goals a season.
I'm hoping Deki can grow into this role. His interplay & understanding with the likes of Kane is already evident, and he's at least as good an athlete as Eriksen. More aggressive too.
Gifted playmakers like Hoddle talk of how the game slows down as you get older & more experienced. A player with an exceptional footballing brain sees plays earlier.
I think this shows in Kane's game. You can literally see his brain seeking out the best attacking option and then he's technically good enough to execute, more often than not.
My hope is that Deki can also develop in this fashion.
Two proper footballing brains on the pitch are even better than one....

I have no idea what you are talking about...
was class when he came on. his technique is already at an elite level. he really is already a special player and its exciting to see what hes going to become for us. kulu and richy going to benefit playing together, rich gobbles up headers and kulu can deliver them crosses for him to attack, they will assist each other plenty.
Kane and Son are going to impossible to replace when they do start going into decline, but we have a great head start in having Richarlison and Kulusevski already at the club.
Agree
Am looking forward to see Kulu being converted into a rwb
Perisic, Son, Kane, Richarlison, Kulusevski
Perisic and Kulu whipping those crosses in. Goal fest every game!
I speak for my people when I say a pox on you!
Fucking cursed timeline where Dejan plays as a wingback.
#FreeKulu
Dejan and Richarlison are the two strikers right now that are showing commitment to actually winning a starting spot.
Agree , an absolute must
its weakness from conte. theres no fucking way he can possibly believe son is a better start than kulu right now. hes the only cunt in the world that thinks that if he does. so its either weakness, or he has a personal issue with kulu. either way its not the hallmark of this world class manager we are told he is. even if hes desperate for son to do well its clear he needs to be dropped to clear his head and be ready again because hes been fucking shocking. never been a good player in buildup but hes even looking shit when running at the fullbacks where he at least used to look a threat when he done that.
kulu is the real deal anyone who understands the game can see that. his football intellect is on another level to sons and thats what we need out there now, people who know how to break teams down and open them up, not just people that are only good at getting in behind.
if i was kulu i would be fucking furious with how ive been dropped the last 3 games when ive been the best performer in the front line. would think the manager thinks im some sort of cunt because hes clearly not picking the side on merit.
