He's an attacking midfielder, didnt happen at Man U but certainly looking much more at home in London....what position does he play?

Sorry you're right. The best passers are up at 0.4ish and the best dribblers are up at 0.1ish. I blame red wine and too many decimal points. Really they should make it rectangular, showing the passers as having 4 times the impact.You had me going there, but I really don't think so. Kulu is at about 0.1 xT (carries) and 0.26 xT (passes) with de Bruyne right out there in terms of passing and Mitoma dribbling like it's 1994. Are you saying the complete opposite?

That's nice for it. What's that got to do with my post?It's per 90. Perisic and kulusevski haven't played every game this season.

It makes sense. A good pass is faster than any dribble. A good pass breaks the space far more penetratively than a dribble. It's why I would always prefer a passer in midfield over a dribbler. Ideally you have both (Modric).Interesting how inequal the axes are. Assuming that xT is the same on both, regardless of how it's come about, that indicates that passers are MUCH more dangerous than dribblers. While Kulu's way up there compared to other dribblers, he's still only generating 0.1 xT from dribbling -- which I presume means "likely to create 0.1 goals per 90 minutes from dribbling".
On the other hand, he's at around 0.25 xT from his passing, to give 0.35 xT total.
The TOTAL figures just goes to show how valuable de Bruyne (about 0.51 xT), Trippier (0.36), TAE (0.38) and Robertson (0.34) are. Even bloody James Milner is up there!
My point was perfectly revelant.The fact you are arguing a point that probably didn't need arguing.
I wasn't disagreeing with you.
Kulu on a full season will be right up there with the best in the league, I have said that for a while and I strongly believe it, bloke makes a hellu a difference to us and his actual goal involvement per game (regardless of all this expected and imagined goals b0llox)
Thought he looked a lot better in the second half then he has since returning, lets hope he will regain his form again as he is a important player for us when he is playing with energy.

Genuinely forgot moura was still here until he came onWould like a decent replacement for moura in the summer. Somebody that will challenge kulu for a starting spot.
Someone has drained his spunk.What's happened?
