Yeah I get that and him, with Bergvall, were the ones most likely to conjure something.
However, he needs to recognise, whether others are shit or not, sometimes little passes to those in space is better than dribbling into blind alleys.

Final ball was so poor 2nd half when he started having space , doesn’t strike me as someone that will score many goals but a very useful player when we want to play on the counter with his speed . All that said , Bournemouth defending today was top class .
elite physicality, but his decision making and use of the ball needs work on, this is where frank earns his money, if he can get kudus tuned up then hes going to be a weapon for us. if not hes going to frustrate a lot as hes not taking up easy passes that benefit the team more than him hanging onto the ball.
Just the third game and the oppo manager has identified him as our main creative forward and nullified him.
Well he is though. Other teams will do likewise. It’s up to us to counter that and today we couldn’t.
Poor game from him, but he had few options and outlets today as Porro was getting decimated by Semenyo and our midfielders were completely invisible. Made it easy for Bournemouth to stifle him.
You need some new mates. West Ham mates? Don’t think I’d want them.
Can only double up on him when we play 3 non threats with the ball in the middle of the park and 2 poachers at CF and LW.
Even just Odobert at LW would have stopped them forcing us down our left all game because you don’t want to play Odobert 1v1 alone
That will free up more space for Xavi and a quality A N other signing hopefully.
This is exactly why we need a good left winger so teams can’t double up and just focus on Kudus.
My main worry with Kudus though is will he score enough. He hasn’t looked like scoring so far this season.
Frank will need to get goals and assists out of him otherwise he’s going to be a mid table West Ham player in a spurs shirt.
That said he’s clearly our best and only attacking threat. It’s not even close at the moment.

Wasn’t a fan of this signing, but he’s done well so far and his hold up play is good. Why I wasn’t that keen on this signing is still on show though. Not direct enough and sort of dribbles aimlessly until he’s crowded out or his passing options close up. Not that quick without the ball and doesn’t give the option of a ball around the side for him to run onto. Always comes towards the ball. So he is a bit one dimensional.
He’s useful if you need to make the ball stick. He’s actually stylistically quite similar to Grealish but I think Grealish knows when to release the ball and is a bit more football savvy.

Semenyo is a chill, down to earth guy. Nothing wrong with a bit of banger, considering it wasn't to bad mouth us as much as it was harmless banter towards Kudus. Hopefully Kudus has a word or two with him to come in January.
Get in his ear Kudus. You need to be on the same Spurs team.
Needs a goal v Wham
It's why Porro is his best FB parter. When Kudus attracts 2-3 players to the ball if gives Porro the time and space to make a dangerous cross.
