Your weak foot is called your "swinger" for a reason. You basically swing and pray and sometimes that works out. Point being, 1 worldy with a weak foot doesn't mean it's consistently good enough.
I agree here. He clearly goes right sometimes and quite often beats his defender down the endline.
His averaged EPL output smoked Saka last season:
Saka: 2994mins / 11G / 7A = 1x G/A every 166mins
Kulu: 1267mins / 5G / 8A = 1x G/A every 97mins
It will be lost to the mists of history, but between Conte's temper tantrum after the Burnley defeat and the end of the season we were really, really good.
Our persistent inability to kick on and take it to the next level is so frustrating.
I can hack losses and set-backs; but that's why I'm so demoralised by this season........
(Not the scum being decent.... Bragging rights come and go.)
I'd be tempted to rest him.
Danjuma has good history agaunst UTD
That myth needs to die. If we were 10 points better off I would be happy and not give a shit what they were doing.
I mean he was better than him last season.
Saka without pace is half the player. He does have tekkers and could be a player that adjusts without pace but Kulu is apparently slow but still able to be more productive.
what about this season ?
Son is the one who needs dropping for man yoo. Deki can still play out of a press and puts in good crosses into the box. And no Richy business on the rw- he has been crap there and centrally
What about it? (See many previous posts)
If you don't think Kulu has the potential to have a good season again; so be it.
I find the case that he's a one-trick-pony who has been found out by PL defenses deeply unconvincing.
Even amid otherwise desultory performances he still has moments where he makes a fool of his defender 1v1.

yeah, for me his struggles seem to be entirely of his own making. Strange indecision, unwillingless to take shots from good positions and generally not doing the cute and clever tricks that worked for him last season.
Ive been saying all season he looked shot-shy...... As I said above, Sonny may have given us a clue as to why.
Conte and Mourinho have very inflexible systems. They are system coaches. These systems don't work as well in the modern game.
Make no mistake, the klopp era coaches are still system coaches. But it allows for creativity on an individual level and freedom of movement/decision in the final third. That creativity is what routinely breaks down 10 man buses.
Put Kulu in city or Liverpool and I assure you he does very well.

This club has such problems with complacency. It's baked into our DNA and it's something I've noted as a persistent issue ever since Redknapp. At so many points we've been in exceptional form and instead of kicking on and winning something, standards have been allowed to drop and we go on an extended run of expecting clubs to just roll over for us before a ball has even been kicked.

When Kulsevski kept saying in interviews how Conte told him to stop enjoying and learn to suffer, alarm bells started ringing for me.
Kulu is the most Dele like player we've since Dele in his prime, and telling him something like that is so counterproductive.
A certain flightiness is baked into Tottenham's DNA, but that's the same gene that makes us charming entertainers.
What's happened with this squad is something more specific and insidious.
