I still believe in this guy. Yesterday he had a good game in my opinion. Didn’t lose the ball a lot (especially not compared to others), he has some difficulties with his first touch, but has a high level of technique and is pretty strong when he shields the ball. Remains someone with good vision, good passing and a end product, although he’s attacking the goal less than last season, but he’s also playing in a very different role.

He definitely needed more time to adapt compared to Chiesa and McKennie, but that’s isn’t very strange given the fact that Chiesa and McK had multiple seasons at the highest level, while Kulu is busy with his second year on top level.

His first touch and balance are my main concerns at this point. And he also seems to avoid his right foot to much, a bit unnecessary.

He is younger than Fagioli and people expect him to do Dybala's job all of a sudden. Even fucking nedved and Zlatan needed a year to settle here.

Our injury list made Pirlo to throw him in right from start. He should have been just a sub this season to learn from Dyabal and others.

Don't put pressure on our boy. He will come good in a year or 2 I'm sure.

zlatan and nedved were already top-class when we got them.

for kulusevski, you're just dreaming. firstly he must show his talent and what he can do then we can wait!

so he showed nothing special! also slow and predictable.

What do you mean showed nothing special? He's our 5th highest in points in this team while being our youngest player, playing mostly in an off position. Also had a great game yesterday and served both Ramsey and Rabiot on a silver platter which they failed to convert.

I feel like this narrative that is being built here is sad and unfair.

is he played great game yesterday? I don't think so. it is extremely normal to sending two passes to the penalty box. he is an attacking player after all! we paid 44m for that?

And it took them a year to sort them self out, both were considered kind of flop in year one.
As for Kulu, he has shown enough to see there is something in there, but needs time and patience. At a young age a year or 2 could do wonders for the young ons.

Pogba became a passing master from 2015 to 2016 in just one year period.

If an established player like nedved can struggle to show his worth in the begening you can't expect a new 20 year old, out of position player in difficult times of the club to shine suddenly.

this is Juventus, there is no time to settle. you must show your talent, nobody can wait for you to show your magic. simple as that.

if you have a squad like bayern munih then you can wait 1-2 season. or let's take bentancur as an example, 4 years has passed but he is still same player because he doesn't have any special ability like kulusevski.

The factor risk is always there when you go for a young talent. Sometimes you hit the jackpot with Dybala, Chiesa and Demiral and sometimes you get wrong with likes of bernardeki's and Rugani's.

It shouldn't stop us from risking on them though.

I dont understand this guy... he adds like.. nothing?

i mean what is his selling point? Im not hating on him, just want someone to explain to me what are is strengths because i dont know

I find his dribbling not enough
he doesnt shoot or cross enough
his passes are scarcely good,
he is slow
and last but not least, i find him kind of clumsy in his movements...he is like the bonucci of attackers in the way that his body language and his moves are super awkward.

Totally useless he really needs to adapt quickly to Pirlo's system
Pirlo has a system?

thats news to me

Reasons for dropping form:
- amount of games lately
- hes young and inconsistency is normal
- playing out of position. he shined in a 433 as a RW
- confidence. getting a goal will boost his performance IMO

In one thread you say Lukaku is better than Dybala.


In another thread you say Kulu isn't Juve material.
