Neither for me. He’s quicker with the ball than Dembele was, but his passing is nowhere near as reliable/composed. And though his work rate is good without the ball, there’s not much discipline to it.
He’s really just a wide forward type, and that’s where I’d keep him - until we upgrade. He’s wouldn’t have been my first (second or third) choice, but right now he’s low-ish on my worry list. As others have said, if we could play more down the left, it would give him a rest and less stringent marking at times. His end product will still be unreliable though.
We should give him the joelington treatment (no not call him a cunt) but try and turn him from a patchy winger into a serviceable dembele from temu number 8
Dembele was basic as fuck with his use of the ball.
Which is where coaching ought to come into play.
If we are keeping Frank I really don't see the point in signing someone to cover an injury for the rest of the season
He basically got the same treatment from Frank as Kulu got from Ange.
Run the player into the ground. Shock - similar outcome!
Guessing we'll see him back next January, at a time we will be in 15th and arguing whether to give the next manager more time because he can't really be evaluated until Kudus comes back.
Vicario playing high long balls into Odobert... sign me up!!
Fucks sake...
The only half decent flair player we have, and he's now injured for 213 years with a snapped pelvis. I'll bet that boring cunt Frank is clapping his hands together with glee. At least he doesn't have to make an excuse as to why we won't bother attacking ever again. He can wank himself silly watching us pass sideways and backwards endlessly whilst hoping for the odd set-piece. Proper league one shit from a proper league one manager.
Utter hellscape of a season.
Plus we've got those utter cunts ENIC still in charge. I mean... look at the messaging coming out of the club, we 'COULD' have to step up our plans to sign a forward. Not, we definitely fucking will... we 'COULD'.
Fuck ENIC
Frank Out
We may as well have a public funeral for Kudus. We're never seeing him ever again.

I agree completely, but it was reliable (I chose my word carefully) , I don’t trust Kudus to be the same.
Even Kudus’s dribbling is less reliable. Ie Dembele also used to hang on to the ball too long sometimes, but was still harder to strip away from the ball than kudus.
I just don’t see it happening.
Hahaha. You are so extremely boring. And quite obviously stupid as a fucking floor mop.
But what you lack in intelligence you make up with extreme ego and total lack of self awareness. Basically verbally sucking your own cock on the park bench.
Look, I do not think that he is a perfect player. Very far from it. And across this season I've been frustrated with him time and time again as well. Cause his decision-making does lack often.
But make no mistake:
1) He is our #2 goal contributor in EPL with 2 goals and 6 assists with first half of the season. I do not know how long his injury will be but if he would have identical 2nd half of the season then 16 goal contributions across season in isolation is already enough to roughly justify a 55 mil pricetag. Specially considering during the deal he was still 24.
2) He is currently playing for the team that is among absolute worse in terms of chance creation. We are 17th in EPL for expected goals, I did not find the stat about where we rank from open play chances but I expect this to be even worse. We essentially play long balls from GK/CB to frontline, bypasing midfield. And in that setup, he is essentially irreplacable, cause he is only one who can control and keep the ball in opposotion half. Which naturally leaves to next point -
3) He is literally always playing. Without a rest. He clearly has not been as sharp as in first games recently. Quite obvious he has been overplayed, cause he is carrying very big part of the team buildup on his shoulders. Without a big surprise, it has ended in an injury now.
4) Wingers become more effective while having more room. Meaning being less marked. But in our team it is so clear. One winger has been double marked cause there is absolute no threat at all from other side. On RW he has contributed with 9 goal contributions, out of that 8 in EPL. So what have LWs done? Odobert has 2 goal contributions across all competitions, Tel has also 2. Kolo Muani (for whatherver the fuck reason he has played there?!?!) has got 1 assist from the wing I guess + that 2+1 game vs PSG where he played as CF.
So to sum it up - our gameplay and setup are very poor and create extremely low amount of chances for forwards. Despite that he is still #2 in terms of goal contributions and has been irreplacable in our way of playing, causing him to have been overused so far.
We have shitloads of problems, Kudus could improve his decision making, but his position is literally one of very-very few that actually does his part or required level.
