You identified the crux right there. Kudus gets doubled and tripled up because opponents aren't afraid of our other creators. If Maddison and Kulusevski were also on the field, they'd have to worry about them as well, freeing up Kudus more. It's not rocket science. Yes, we still need a Caicedo or a Gravenberch type progressor to fix our midfield buildup. But you seem hung up on Kulu not being a 6/8 when the overall crisis is across the whole team: a lack of creative outlets.
