You are laughing to yourself about that one, aren't you!

The final ball never quite came off for him today, but he’s such an important outlet for us. We rely on him so much to create.

If Porro is as good as he seems going forward, they're going to torment some fullbacks together.
 
Kulusevski has been a key player for us since his arrival a year ago - but I've been a bit concerned we've become a bit dependent upon him for being the main creative player as well as chipping in with goals so if he's not available (eg when injured before World Cup).we are missing a very important player and we've had no replacement available.

Both our January arrivals could help reduce our dependency on Kuklusevski - Porro as an attacking right wing back will add a real threat down the right side (6 assists and 2 goals in 14 matches for Sporting this season) that nobody else really can when Kulusevski cannot play : and of course we hope Porro and Kukusevski can play together on that right sifde.

Danjuma is maybe a bit more of an unknown but last season (21/22) at Villareal he scored 16 goals and got 4 assists (20 goal involvements) in 34 games whilst at Bournemouth in Championship (20/21) he got 17 goals and 8 assists (25 goal involvements) in 37 appearances. He plays on left or as a centre forward, or on right side.

So when Kukusevski doesn't play (or as a sub) Danjuma can be a decent alternative forward, much more lethal than Moura if he can reproduce his form of last couple of seasons.
 
Think he's been below par since his injury.

Rate him a lot, a very important player but he's not been anywhere near his best recently, less creative, less assured, weaker in the challenge and lacking a bit defensively.

Hope he's back to his best soon.

And incredibly still has 3 assists and 1 goal in the 7 starts since returning from his injury. Despite being somewhat below par.

Smart players like him who are good in all phases of play are hard to shut down even on a slow day.

He need to learn to carry the ball in a straight line though. When he has clear space in front he can't carry the ball up with speed cos he does this weird zigzag thing as he moves forward which slows him down.

Should do a couple of sessions with Son in training.
 
We've had a tight schedule coming out of the world cup so it could be that he is not fully up to speed yet. I'd possibly look at resting him against Leicester and give Danjuma a start. And we can always bring him on from the bench if need be.
 
I don't think he's been as good this season as last season. Feel like Son being so, so terrible means Kulusevskis average games (when he has them) go a bit unnoticed.
