I want to find the executive at NBC Sports that decided we need to see every Man U and Arsenal game and bitch slap him.

Soccer gets a minute worth of coverage on hour sports news shows here. Pulisic is nowhere close to a household name here. Only those that follow the sport, which is 7% of the population know how he is doing in the EPL. If he is feeling US media pressure, he is watching very specific media. Even those of us that have followed the sport for years roll our eyes at ESPN coverage.

I would'nt call it crying. He was very frustrated and covering his face. I can also understand the frustration. He is doing everything he can and things are not moving fast enough for him. This could be the best thing to up his game, time will tell.

Last night Pulisic was pulled at the 60 minute. Early he was 1 against 5 because nobody was getting upfield. Then he disappeared. He was pissed, but he didn't lead, he just joined all the other losers in pathetic play.

I am getting sick of these international breaks. I have needs dammit!

Thank you Vesper. We had two of the three early games here and did not get Chelsea.

It got pretty when CHO came in. Before that it was 1-0 with a lot of blown chances. That may get it done against Brighton, but our players have to start putting those sitters in the net. Very happy for the win.

Not above high fiving my son for charity. Mount was excellent for reacting to that ball.

Yeah, even that is crazy. It is not like he is without ball skills, but being a winger at one of the best clubs in the EPL, that should not be tolerated, let alone give him the 10 jersey.

They said Pedro, so I guess he is out there.

Willian 27 matches without a goal? Is that a real stat? Wtf?

CHO seems calm and smooth in big moments. Pulisic seems tight and pushing too hard, he is also taking near impossible angles on goal. He will adjust or move or be moved on. He has been given a fair opportunity, that is all that anyone can ask.

Evening Standard predictions Chelsea XI: Caballero, James, Zouma, Tomori, Alonso, Gilmour, Kovacic, Barkley, Hudson-Odoi, Batshuayi, Pulisic Grimsby XI: McKeown, Hewitt, Pollock, Gibson, Hendrie, Whitehouse, Hessenthaler, Robson, Green, Hanson, Wright

The media needs to get off Lampard about who is getting minutes and who is not. He has been very open with the media and the fans. i think when he feels he needs to explain every decision he makes, many times, that openness goes away.

I am so optimistic about this game that I am going to record it, go to my son's girlfriend's rifle match (exciting I know), check the score and either delete the slaughter or watch a decent match.

By reading this thread, you would think the table would be horrible for us. I am still holding on to that we can get better in time to be in mix for fourth at the end of the season. Hope.

I thought the tweet about signing in a week or so was from the summer.

It has been a rough start with glimpses of the potential this squad has. The more I think about it, Super Frank is a bit in over his head. His game decisions have been odd and poor. There was no real upside to bringing in Billy Gilmore. I think he can be an exceptional manager, it may take some time to get there. This squad can be very good, even though they are lacking a good defence, from the wingers, to the midfield, to the back line. It may take some time.

I'm not sure I can keep getting this pissed off every Saturday.

Zouma scores. Fuck

4-3-3 with Pulisic in.

I have noticed people omitting Pulisic even during the preseason? It is odd as he adds some speed to the attack and is always looking to set up other players.

Just so yall know how hard they are marketing Pulisic in the US, the DISH icon for Premier League has been the English Lion for years. That has been replaced with Pulisic celebrating a goal. At least DISH is making him the face of the EPL.

This is going to be a looooong season.

I love the way Emerson moves with and without the ball.
