For me, he's wherever we need him.

There was a point today in the 2nd half when United had the wind in their sales; we needed more defending ability in midfield, and more ball retention up top. So Ange brought on Sarr for BJ and moved Kulu over to the right wing. Killed the game instantly.

Kulu's ability to be the outball on the right flank and take the sting out of the game when it has become too transitional is priceless.

Like a 6ft tank version of Bernardo Silva.

Needs to keep his form going but I got about 10 laughing emojis when I said he could be on for a big season this year. Looks a bit more likely now, especially when you know he’s not the type of character to get too high after a win or too low after a loss.
 
Why were people so adamant he couldn't play in the middle, his profile is so obvious and I said this at the time, he is a physical ball carrier with superb technique so he's hard to shake off the ball as well as having a very good end product and close control - means you can break lines so easily with either weapon.
 
The dynamic with him, Johnson and Porro is coming along really nicely.

I like that at times he decides to go out wide, which pushes Porro into the centre to cover whilst Johnson moves centrally with Solanke. Opponents being dragged all over the place.

He seems to have elite level mentality and must be working like a dog in training which explains those quotes about him from C Ronaldo from their time at Juve.
A couple of times this season he picked up a ball in last 10 min of the game or so and just looked like he's faster than what we gave him credit for. It's not just words from him- he doesn't tire like others.
I'm really pleased because at one point I thought he will end up a spare one but I was wrong. Looks like a player now that many would envy us having. Tireless, tall, strong but creative, decent passer, technically capable, good runner. What's not to like

Have to be honest as much as I like the guy I had completely written him off as his pace wasn't there to play as a winger in many systems let alone an Ange setup. However, I couldn't be happier to say that I appear to be wrong and he's arguably been our best player so far. Hope he keeps it up and turns into a class midfielder for us.

his ball retention this year has to be right up there in the league. isolated out wide with no help didnt suit him at all due to his lack of pace and then hed overthink and fumble it a lot. get players around him and hes playing more on instinct now. some of his first touches yesterday in tight spaces was top draw. the passes to him arent the greatest either a lot of the time and a bit of a cunt to get it under but he does it.
 
yea, that was actually his best performance in a spurs shirt. to break chance creation record at old trafford says it all. hes finally found his position here now. big player in the making if he can continue this.

I know Palmer just scored 4 goals but this is honestly one of the best individual performances of the season across the league.

From a Spurs perspective it’s up there with Kane away at City imo

Think you have to take the opposition into account really, it was impressive but Utd were dogshit, I honestly don't think we'll have an easier match across 90 mins this season.
