Would benefit from playing with an experienced forward communicating with him constantly. Sadly not possible as I can’t see us fielding him and Morata up front who would be the closest thing we have to that description.
As a lone striker it’s imperative you make the right runs and know when to stretch the line and when to come short and hold the ball up. His recent sub appearances show this to be clearly lacking (understandably so).
Hopefully it’ll come with time. Should at least try to learn watching Morata, who whilst his execution will remain inconsistent, his footballing IQ as a lone forward is pretty good.

Happy for his goal, but still has a long way to go before becoming a key player. The realistic standard should be +10 goals per season.
Technical qualities such as his first touch, dribbling and passing are below level in my opinion. I’d be surprised if he reaches a high level within a few years. Luckily he has goals to compensate this.
The same applies for Kulu, although he has a good pass and lesser goals compared to Kean.

Against Torino he was bad but tonight he did the maximum with what he had.
Chiesa and Cuadrado were shockingly bad trying to create anything, every single ball towards him was wildly overhit and off the mark. There was nothing to hold up
Th e Berna rebound was not an easy chance by all means, GK was on the ball already, he had no time to even chip it because he would'we collected both Kean and the ball.
Much improved attitude and better tactical understanding too. He was always back, in crouching stance, communicating defensively.
Hope he starts vs Zenit too, another goal would do wonders for him.
