Player Watch Player Watch: Dejan Kulusevski

Do you guys remember how slow Kane was at the start of the season? Now look at him.

He’s come from Italian football which is slow and playing in a system under Alregri which made them even slower and more cumbersome. He was dynamic in Parma’s counter attacking system a couple of years back and he’s very young.

Let’s wait for a few months under Conte’s conditioning and then judge his speed.

He will have his uses imo, but this was probably the last game you'd think of subbing on Kulusevski, especially after we'd just gone 2-1 up. Was a very bizarre sub for me. Surely you have to get Harvey White on to sure things up in midfield, having taken PEH off.

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.

I think longer term he'll play more central.

He didn't have an affect on tonight's game, but I don't think he did badly against Brighton.

I told you he was slow and not good enough for us before we loaned him. It seems to be an easy job to be a playerscout in this club. No consequences what so ever for bad scouting. Emerson Royal and now this slow lump of meat among MANY other not nearly good enough players. They just keep piling them up. Incredible.
