Mohammed Kudus

[BrentwoodSpur]

Out till April as per Frank. FML

 

[Rafa87]

Oh dear.

Well, transfer market or bust here for the club. I’ll look forward to us signing an unknown on the last day of the window for a back rub and packet of crisps.

FFS Ange!

We need to upgrade on Bentancur. Midfielders are the heart of the team and he doesn't keep us beating the way we need. I think the rest will sort itself out after that, Kudus or no Kudus.

 

[Yiddo]

Not a big loss, been brick for months. The break may do him some good.

The crisps will only be delivered once the player has made upwards of 40 appearances, with a half packet being delivered then and the second half being sent once an international cap is gained.

Cheeky bid for this tricky attacker as his replacement?!

You could not make this up.

For a side whose only realy methof of 'creation' is to look wide, we now don't have a fit natural winger. Brilliant.

Appreciate the point you're making. But at the same time concerns about Kudus never getting a rest, repeatedly being put into really tough physical battles, looking fatigued have existed for a while. Him getting injured was definitely on my 2026 bingo card.

Time for a back 3/5? Wing backs to provide the width. Get Richarlison and Kolo Muani closer together as a partnership up front.

I think Kudus needs some rotation/competition. I get maybe Johnson is not the one but we need someone to push Kudus. He seems too comfortable and borderline complacent at times (body language armchair expert etc.). Not entirely his fault since Kudus isn't the manager.

We should always have 2 quality wide man challenging for the starting role so even without his injury we were short.

Only because of another injury to Kulusevski though? On paper those 2 for RW looks decent enough.

Whether Frank should have been limiting Johnson’s minutes and making him surplus to requirements by Jan knowing the extent of Kulu’s injury is another question though.

Personally I wasn't the biggest fan of Kulu out on the right beyond his first 6 months there. His form really dropped off for me and he only really looked reinvigorated when Ange moved him centrally and he displaced Maddison.

We obviously don't know how Frank would play him but central is Kulu's preferred position and where I think he actually does play his best and has the biggest direct influence imo.

In my ideal world you would have a Kudus along with another quality option. The second option could be a younger player or even someone who is versatile and can play either side potentially but I don't think we should ever go into a season relying on having a single quality wide attacker for and available for the duration of a season.

We went in to the season with
Kudus
BJ
Kulu (injured)
Tel
Oderbert
Muani/Richi (counting this as just 1 option as 1 has to play CF with Solanke out)
Xavi (can and has played wide)

So the numbers were there (6 fit players at season ko for 2 spots), it’s just you can obviously argue about the quality.

I think you can even keep going and put Bergval, Sarr and Spence into the right role especially if you tweak into a 4-4-2.

We're not that short of right sided options.

For the right hand side I'd argue we only went into the season with Kudus and Johnson with a potential Kulu who was long term injured. In terms of quality for me we only had Kudus so yes I'd say the squad needed alternative configuration.

Yep like I said personal opinions, personally I like Kulu out there and so might Frank. The numbers of senior squad players were clearly there though, it’s not like we were counting on Moore or LWB in this.

Errr, I think I am misreading your response? You've basically said what I was saying in another way? I mean, that was my point!

Sorry mate. Probably just misread your post.

As predicted, he was played too much, until his leg popped.

This season (and excluding injury time as the numbers never go above 90) he played 85 86 90 90 90 90 90 90 78 90 78 90 87 80 80 58 85 90 19 and then his leg popped.

STUPID from the management team. He needs more rest than that when we are playing every few days.
There is always an alternative player or formation. Always. Now he will get fewer minutes until April i.e. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0. Stupid.

The trouble is “pass to Kudus” is the managers second favorite tactic after “Danso long throw”, so by not playing him we were halving our attacking options.

Only Porro, VDV, and Bentancur are the outfield players with more minutes than Kudus. Porro is some kind of freak but VDV won't be too far away from the treatment table at this current rate of playing (I obviously hope I'm wrong about that).
