Kulusevski must be out after a bad start from Tottenham
Tottenham Hotspur extended their winless streak to three after a 1-0 draw first division Defeat against Bournemouth at home.
The London heavyweights got off to a bright start after the international break. They recorded a surprising 4-0 victory in the league city of manchester at the Etihad stadium.
However, Tottenham have failed to maintain the momentum in their next three matches. Spurs picked up draws against Roma and Fulham before a defeat at Bournemouth.
The Cherries were the dominant team at the Vitality Stadium on Thursday night and the margin of victory could have been much wider had a number of great chances been created.
The Spurs had several bad players and Dejan Kulusevski was one of them. The Swede was reinstated to the starting eleven and failed to take advantage of his opportunity.
must be abandoned
according to sofa scoreThe former Juventus star won only 2 of the 10 duels played. He completed just 2 of 8 crosses and turned the ball over a staggering 30 times in the game.
Kulusevski also did not complete any of his 2 dribbles. He was the worst player on the Spurs pitch and should be benched for the derby against fierce rivals. Chelsea.
Spurs are 10th in the league standings thanks to 1 point from 2 games. They are 6 points behind Manchester City, which occupies the final champions league place.
Sunday's match against arch-rivals Chelsea is a must-win for Spurs. Coach Ange Postecoglou has an easy decision: put Son Heung-min ahead of Kulusevski after yesterday's performance.
Brennan Johnson had a similarly disappointing outing at Bournemouth, but his goalscoring form merits a starting role. He could start on the right wing against Les Bleus with Son on the left flank.
Much has been made of Spurs' inconsistency under Postecoglou and this must end sooner rather than later if they are to remain in contention for the Champions League in the second half of the campaign.
