Just back from an injury where honestly he might have had a broken foot thanks to Arsenal..
gonna take time to get back to where he was!
I’m quicker than Rico !It was awful to watch, but clearly due to his lack of match fitness, having been away for over a month and a half, it showed even in his running. He, who is usually so fast, seemed slower than Rico Lewis.
But nothing serious, he needs more training sessions and matches to get back to his best.
He was criticized, but his performance needs to be put into context. People aren't stupid; we all know he's been out for over a month. He only joined the squad four days ago, with only three or four training sessions.As much as I love Khusanov's pace & aggression, lets be honest if Nunes had put in a performance at RB like last night he would have been castigated on here.
I do worry about about Khusanov's passing as its not as clean as some people make out. Still young though & great physical attributes to build on.

We dont have a good right back and that's the truth. Look at the best in the world, Hakim, and then compare to our lot, miles off of that level
As for Khusanov, people are being kind, his passing is dreadful, he has pace and aggression but his technical ability is way off of it.
I know he's been injured but even when he was playing well his passing still isnt good enough.
It might be that familiarity is important to him. His passing has been okay when he’s played this season, whereas it wasn’t last night.I think his passing, generally, is okay now and usually safe, but nothing more exciting than that. I'm not sure how good he is in the air still. He seems to misjudge the ball a bit sometimes, and there are taller centrebacks, so his best option for us could be as a defensive right-back.
I know Hakimi is widely thought if as the best, but I saw one match early last season where I thought he was very poor, I guess it happens to everyone. I don't watch enough of him to say whether it's just his great matches that get remembered, or if his bad games are rare.

I don't understand the comparison with Nunes.
If Khusanov had performed like that while fully fit against Arsenal or Napoli when he played, he would have been rightly torn to shreds by the critics.
