While acknowledging Kudus' talent, Neville underscored the importance of maturity in the player's final choices on the field.

He noted occasions where Kudus opted for ambitious shots instead of making a decisive pass to a teammate, suggesting room for growth in his decision-making process.

Neville stressed the significance of unpredictability for wingers, not just for opposing defenders but also for their team members.

Neville's commentary on his podcast delved into specific instances during the game, highlighting Kudus' transition from erratic decision-making to a more precise approach. He cited a pivotal moment in the match where Kudus delivered a pinpoint cross for Jarrod Bowen, leading to a crucial goal for West Ham.

Mohammed Kudus, who made a high-profile move from Ajax to West Ham last summer for a reported fee of €45 million, has been a significant addition to the team.
