Player Mohammed Kudus

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I’m sure you’re excited to come in here but he’s not the same player physically right now. We played him 90 minutes in almost every game too long.
He's a frigging professional footballer, a supposedly elite athlete. Trains a couple hours a day, plays twice a week. Has access to unreal facilities and medical experts. Paid millions for the privilege. If he can't play 90 every game, well get outta here and go find a real job.
 
If the plan is for him to beat his man and cross the ball he may as well be on the left and crossing with his favoured foot.
If the plan is to cut inside and shoot, it isn't working because he doesn't do that.
So... inverted wingers are not being used correctly, not enough shots from either side.
 
Chelsea froze him out of the game very effectively. Just as they did with pretty much every other Spurs player.
 
He had a few moments but for the most part wasn't able to do much. That's partly down to him and how bad the rest of the team was in getting the ball to him.

I thought he did better when he had Xavi to link with. I'd like to see him play in the middle more like he did against Everton. The technical quality of our midfield is so bad we need some actual footballers there.
 
Hanging onto the ball too long = no end product
Only when he releases it or crosses it successfully will he be considered to be having a good game.
However, none of our front 3 players score enough goals with the exception Johnson who can find the net but offers little else.
 
Struggle to blame Kudus, teams set-up to stop him getting clean ball because we don't have a single other dangerous player on the field, which is crazy given the money spent.
 
Can't be too hard on him because he has been our best attacking player this season by a distance.. But it's a problem that our most gifted attacker seems to get a nose bleed when in or around the opposition box. When he's got someone to take on and try and dribble past from deep or near the sideline, then he looks good. But in the final moment when it's time to shoot he can look awkward at times. Especially yesterday.

He can’t score in a brothel. You need the other front 2 to be scoring consistently because he won’t be. But when they are Richarlatan, Odobert, Tel etc you’re fucked.
