A long ball that could have raised Kai's ratings a bit (lemmy.wtf)

Seems simple enough that with his gigantic frame and ability to anticipate spaces and opportunities, he'll be expected to receive long balls from our centre backs and act as a sort of support striker. But it just never comes off for him.

Oh I'm sure someone would notice, but they may not say anything and just go on about their merry way!

Would you have black jack and hookers too?

I would like to add though, along with his frame he seems to have some of the fun/interesting body-ball control you don't see consistently. The chest/shoulder knock-downs into a teammates path, or a pop-up over a defender. Which I think builds on what you're saying. It's great he can be targeted with his frame, but I think it's bettered served when there are more players around him. That either being teammates to shift the ball to, or opposing players taken out of the move with a quick knock-down pass beyond them.

Of course, but I do I prefer poker TBO.

I love his technical abilities, and I do believe that he will come good in time and fans just need to be patient.
