Dejan Kulusevski

That is bad news, he is a player we miss.
Indeed. The only solution is to change tactic, not hammer more square pegs in.
E.g. 352 so we have a striker to come off the bench.
E.g. try Perisic in the forward 3 as he cannot defend.
 
The last 2 games suggest Kulu is more important to us than we realised. The front 3 look a lot more in tune when he’s playing.
The guy is world class, he really is
He controls the pace and tempo of the game down his side which is so key when playing our style of play
Add in his outstanding passing
You can’t replace him with Richy who has no finesse or Moura who has no clue how to play in a team

Yes offers a balance to the team I think. Also has a better final ball than Son/ Richarlison.
 
Was being compared to De Bruyne by the BT pundits last night.

It seems we did try and address the lack of anything like for like as cover / competition with Zaniolo and hopefully we can address that in Jan (especially if he shares De Bruyne's injury record!) but what I think the last few weeks have proved is Richarlison should be pushing Son or Kane rather than rotating with Kulu.

Kulu has been a key player for us more or less since he came and broke into the team.

He gives us balance we otherwise sorely miss and makes the front three a much more cohesive unit.

Still don't quite understand why he didn't start more before his injury. But perhaps the injury is the answer and Conte was trying to be a bit careful with him.
