Mohammed Kudus

I agree but at the same time I don't really believe any of that will work. The quality we have or the lack of that quality will always be the decider imo.

Ps. Unless you're truly willing to play percentage football.
We’re playing percentage football now
Spam crosses in and play for set pieces
I don’t get why they don’t and for Kudus to go down more and get those free kicks from the fouls he is taking

it might not work much directly but the variation and probing - say three shots on goal in quick succession - will certainly open up more space for kudus or odobert immediately. we should just ask the players to shoot straight at the keeper hard - and hope they do a vicario and palm it out to the nearest striker
 
It reminded me of when giving the ball to Ginola was our one tactic.
Best one was "give it to Luca (Modric)". Arguably wasn't our only tactic at that time, but he was actually good enough that as a strategy it could actually work. And if a player was in any kind of doubt about what to do giving it to him was probably going to be the right choice.

I'd argue it was less about him being good enough to do it and more about the way he played and even more importantly where he played. If you have a CM of Modric's skillset then you have a controller from deep. A player happy to give and receive in any position, and someone has a wider vision of the positions on the pitch and the play style to knit it all together. Thats a skillset we are really obviously missing in midfield currently and Kudus even at his very best is just not that style of player and obviously he doesn't need to be.

Sadly there are not a lot of Modrics about but i do agree, he really was a special player.
 
Thank feck that Kudus is strong like Dembele and able to survive these recent leg breakers from the likes of Garner of Joelinton.
