Player Watch Player Watch: Dejan Kulusevski

[TheVoiceofReason]

I dont think he should be played out wide and rather se him in a free role behind Kane and son

He played wide today mostly and was great, so thinking he be good for both. He knows how to deliver a cross which is a sight for sore eyes.

I have not jumped to conclusions on him just yet – it's still early days. Good performance from him today though. Goal/assist and his workrate and willingness to help the team defensively was vital. Still not fully convinced he'll be a massive hit but i definitely believe he'll be a player that can help us moving forward.

crazy how people wrote the lad off after 30 mins of football because his not the quickest, is this the FIFA generation of something? some of the best we have had, had little to no pace. This kid has got football in him, and still so young

As long as he keeps putting in a shift like today, helping defence and attack, he will be a success. I don't expect goals and assists every game, but the more the merrier obviously

You nailed it that is exactly what the problem is.

I was meh on him based off watching him with Juve this season. But he was great today & we dont win that game without him. Early days but a great start to his Spurs career.

Has a sweet left foot on him.

The way he was out wide on right and just switched to left foot and pinged passes into the box.

Not gonna get too excited yet. Juve fans said that he was at his best in transition with space infront of him, where he struggled was against set defences with less space. Still, a really promising showing today and that left foot has some real quality in it.

 

[Typical Spurs]

I'll say it as I see it. So far I've seen nothing that makes me think there's a player in there, or at least even the makings of one. I know he's hardly played yet, but you can still tell a decent player even when they're not match fit and only played half an hour or so. I just don't see it.

Bentancur on the other hand has played a similar amount of minutes and I think he really looks to have a bit of class about him. You can just see it.

So for me minutes played are irrelevant. I'm just saying I don't see anything in Kulusevski that gives me hope. Seems incredibly one paced. On and off the ball.

Hopefully I'm talking rubbish and he turns into a machine. At which point I'll delete this post and say I knew we had a decent player.

Which bellend said this?!

Oh wait...hang on!

Exactly this

I hope he gets the start against Burnley. He’s earned it if he’s fit enough (no real reason he shouldn’t be), and it’ll be a great test for him.

His football IQ is up there with Harry. I've seen more from his performances in the last 2 matches than I saw from - the player he arguably replaced - Dele, in over 2 years. There is a certain calmness to his play that belies his years. Looking like a decent signing so far.

Bang on. He just looks like he gets it

Football at all levels is full of lads with a bit of pace and a bit of skill. Give me someone that “gets” the game all day long, lots to work with here, good signs

 

[VDV11 Fan]

Goal and an assist on his first PL start against the current champions

More than impressive to say the least cant wait to see more

 

[SirHarryHotspur]

Good performance in just his third appearance , a goal and an assist long may it continue. He can also play more central midfield , Allegri even used him as a striker in some games, should be a great versatile asset.

Oh FFS

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Watch his goal again. I liked the way he half checked his run which gave him the space he needed. He's got a brain.

Would you say it’s a Harry Kane Brain?

 

[curlacious]

He's the anti-Lucas. All hail him.
