Re: Josh Cullen - best player in the league

He was poor for about 70 mins yesterday. Really struggled. But fair play to him, he kept going and came on strong at the end. However, I'm afraid that lack of physicality and dynamism is why he plays for us and not a top Premier League side. He's good but not top, top drawer good.
