Great game from the lad, hope he keeps it up. Want to see more urgency to attack when we have the ball, he seemed to always be second thinking his runs. Even his goal.

This is it really.We all said we needed a creative intelligent wide player as we have Lucas bergwijn etc who have pace and son.
Kulu is raw at 21 but he definitely offers us something effective
I think that today is our best line-up with possibly reggi over sess when he’s back.
Kulu giving Kane more service than Lucas has done in months and months.
love it
We have had far too many players either don't play with intelligence or lack that bit of technical ability.
Kulusevksi may shift a bit slower but he is clearly more thoughtful wirh his play and technically sound.
Lucas is instinctive. Son is instinctive too (but has consistency). You need players in there who know what they're doing not just play with the head down.

I think he will only get better as his confidence grows too. There were a few moments where we were moving up the pitch promisingly and he cautiously turned back and make a simple pass rather than moving the ball forward, preferring to play it safe.
That's fine and preferable to giving it away instantly like Lucas so often does, but I'd like to see him be a little bit more brave in future and I think today's performance will give him a lot of confidence.
That's not a big criticism, though, as it's natural for a young player in a new league to be a little cautious. Overall I thought he had a very solid game.

Rammed a few people’s comments down their throats today. Far too much criticism of him before today on too little match time.

Any “fan” writing a player off after 2 15min cameos just shows themselves to be an utter dick

When will people realise at the top level pace is not that important. Of course its great to have pace but it doesn't mean any player is poor if they don't have it (certainly at this level).
Technical and mental ability are far more important than physicality for me. Really like Kulusevski seems a very Intelligent player. Really excited to see him develop here under Conte.

the ball moves faster than the man.

Just wait when he's 100% off the ketchup diet. He'll be running faster the longer he's under Conte.
But he doesn't have Aaron Lennon pace!
And Aaron seems to be scoring more when his pace is gone.
