Can we start Kulu in at RWB? It would kill two birds really.

Player Dejan Kulusevski

Absolutely should have started tonight. Was behind the team & Sonnys selection to try and get him up and running but deep down I genuinely thought Kulu should have been in the starting XI
Dejan would most likely request to leave if we tried converting him to RWB. He has zero desire to be a wingback. He is not coy at all about what positions he sees himself playing.
Since he's arrived, by the stats he is our best creator, and can finish extremely well, with high level technique, too. Why the eff wouldn't we want him as close to the goal as possible? He's basically a prototypical inside RW for a 3-4-3- we'd be stupid to start him at RWB just to shoehorn Son/Kane/Rich into the side...
Kulusevski on whether he can play with Richarlison and cameo at wing-back
Dejan Kulusevski has claimed that he can play together with Richarlison upfront and admitted that the competition for places in the forward line is now...
Anyway I'm not bothered in arguing. I'm just tired of Royal.

I’m sure he’d rather play 90 minutes than sit on the bench. He’s literally been our best player this season and has no business being on the bench but that’s a different argument.
But moving him to wingback moves him out of a position where he is very lethal and dangerous.
Dejan's creativity is needed in that winger position, especially with us not having a traditional creative midfielder. I believe that moving him to wingback will only make us more toothless.
That’s fine but it’s not the same thing that I responded to.
Per Football London, Conte sees Dejan as his 10.
Not really when he’s displacing a player that has no footballing ability. He can still play in the final third
His best position ? Absolutely not
A better solution for us than Royal? Possibly (especially when it means our best ‘sub’ can also start)
Seems to be that he sees him as a sub at the moment. I agree he’s a wide 10 for us, our playmaker - which means we have nobody to carry the ball when he’s sub
Surely he can actually play as a central 10. That would actually mean conte can play his preferred 352 instead of the 343. But what do I know.
"Prefered"?
I've thought the same but I haven't been paying attention enough to his defensive ability
Maybe he might be a liability on D?
