We need to see Kai at CF more often. He’s a lighthouse to aim at, the frequency at which we can just hit long balls at him as an outlet is unbelievably useful when we’re struggling to play through a press on the ground.
Jesus lost almost every contest against Silva and Colwill. Its admiral how such a small 9 competes physically, he’s disproportionately strong relative to his size. But he still has to battle so hard to win those contests only at a low frequency. Kai just nonchalantly wins these repeatedly without breaking a sweat.
They were pressing really hard and playing a physical game yesterday, shutting a short range passing game through the middle of the park down. Which is why Ode was totally shut out.
We definitely needed Kai for long ball hold up play, one of his greatest strengths.
Goes to show that Rice had more luck than Ode getting towards the penalty box and creating chances .

how many top attacking midfielders in the past 20 years have been as tall as kai? closest i can think of is laudrup at 6’2, he cant fit into the midfield (almost literally) but there are for sure plenty of world class strikers that tall (like the norweigan par example)
his growth has inatvertedley made him into a cf prospect
