I think teams just figured out his game. When he was new, and we had Harry and Sonny both up there, players gave him more space on the inside. He banged a bunch of goals by cutting in, and now fullbacks are doing a better job of showing him outside. Under Ange, he’s starting to diversify his attacks more. He’s starting to go outside a lot more than he did last year.Improving with every game but I still think he’s way off that initial 6 months where he looked liked a young left footed de bruyne which is obviously an extremely high and unfair bar to judge him off. Maybe it’s rose tinted glasses on my behalf idk. I think his future is central though
Yeah I can’t disagree with any of thatI think teams just figured out his game. When he was new, and we had Harry and Sonny both up there, players gave him more space on the inside.

I like Ange’s subs, they’re pretty ballsy.Having Deki drop centrally in favor of Sarr when we're chasing a goal, might be the go to switch in those scenarios.
Nailed it.Looks comfortable in central areas judging by that goal. Would love to see him play in midfield alongside bissouma and maddison against a low block such as Sheffield Utd. I recon he'd do well.
If you look at some of the highlights, there were so many times that we played a diagonal pass from the middle into space for Kulu to run onto. We did it time and time again. It’s no wonder his stats are like that, he’s bloody Forest Gump!Most ground covered by any premier league player in a game so far this season. For a forward that is phenomenal.
The players, yes. But I thought it took too long to do it. Could/should have done it much earlier, which is my only Ange gripe.I like Ange’s subs, they’re pretty ballsy.
Baller! Works his nuts off, is always a threat, never gives up and got the goal his performance deserved yesterday as I thought he was excellent. Not everything came off for him in the final third, but most of his play resulted in a chance, a goal or a corner. I thought he was a constant threat.
Not dropped but rotated with Johnson when the time is right. Definitely going to be moments when Johnson is a good choice. It’s been a while since we’ve had a squad with different players that offer such different qualities, but we definitely have options now.This needs repeating every time someone demands we drop him for Johnson “because he hasn’t got pAcE!”
