Player Watch Player Watch: Dejan Kulusevski

[yido_number1]

Executed Conte's system really well and did great work at both ends of the pitch. Most importantly he's composed and doesn't waste much.

10/10 today and hopefully that's the bench mark.

He demonstrated the difference between an eyecatching footballer and an effective footballer. Ideally we'd want both, but I'd take effective anyday.

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

He does give us shape out there though, drawing defenders to him high up the pitch and threatening the good pass, whereas Lucas, in the same areas, rarely feels like we're dangerously or even securely in possession.

Chadli was just that. If a goal and assist is his average output I'd take that every week

 

[Joshua]

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

Nice options though. Kulusevski for when we need culture and Lucas for when we need COYS-fuelled madness.

If that is anyone’s weekly output they win Balon d’or

Just the 76 goal involvements for Kulu next season then. No pressure.

Love that he nutsed Cancelo for his goal, so composed. Must say I thought it was Kane while watching live. Them two look strikingly similar from distance. I also thought Kane put a shot just wide last week v Wolves until I watched the highlights and I was in the stadium!
Great performance today, match winning assist and worked hard throughout and right to the last he was chasing down a Man City defender in their own half which was the last action of the game. Kudos to you Kulu!

Don't divert from the program, would you please? In case you haven't noticed it, you must hate on Lucas if you want to show any praise for Kulu from now on.

 

[Pistols At Dawn]

Another benefit of having Kulu is it allows you to bring Lucas on later to run at tired defenses, which (IMO) is when he's actually best. Sucks for him, but I prefer Lucas as a super-sub.

Plenty of games and players pushing one another is exactly what we want. If Lucas has to be 10% better to get in the team all the better

 

[Gordon M Moon]

If the Aussies could have their Special Ks, we've maybe found our own!

 

[slartibartfast]

Watched game back. Got a real player here I think.

Yes, but Conte subbed off Son for Lucas, and kept Kulu on. This might be the start of something special.

 

[AnotherSpursFan]

These two players we got from Juve look really classy. I guess Paratici knew what he was getting. I can't understand how Juve fans didn't rate either of them.

Thats because they are used to seeing players with basic football fundamentals.

 

[allatsea]

Where are the doubters now? What a fucking baller!

I am here

Much more impressive last night ! Big strong guy shame he doesn't seem to be able to attack the ball in the air.

 

[Delboy75]

I think he’s gonna learn a huge amount from Kane. Quite similar in their game, clearly a very clever player with good awareness and touch.

 

[cjsimba]

Really love an intelligent player. Think we’ve got one here

 

[SpursMadDave]

Was surprised to see him start after some had written him off with 2 poor sub appearances in 2 awful team performances, luckily Conte didn't see those posts phew!

 

[Mr Pink]

The more I watch this guy the more I think he's made for the prem.

Think he's going to link brilliantly with Kane.
