  1. As a winger no. No.10? Perhaps. Looked much more lively than Mount, but still early days lol
  2. Pulsic showing his quality in his natural position behind the striker
  3. Could have changed everything for pulisic there. Willian FANTASTIC
  4. We need to cross more. Abraham getting great chances here.
  5. Willian is the perfect opposite winger for CHO. He just gets the ball to you.
  6. Mount and CHO have a wonderful understanding together.
  7. The difference is the level of expectation, especially from his home media. German Americans might be the largest ethnic group here, but we are 100% the child of England and everything that comes with it in terms of football. Every second of his time here has been covered by all of our media in a way not seen with an American player since Donovan was at Everton. Its a completely different ball game him being here. I do agree that this is probably his best opportunity, right now, to play here. I think if he gets gametime elsewhere he could easily come back here and be a starter. This would be in the future though. The loss wasnt down to him, but his performance was bad enough to get him subbed off after an hour. It was a bad managerial performance though....by a guy in over his head whose brother wont dare fire him.
  8. Of course people have a right to attack him, but anybody who watches his mentality and him play know hes not ready to play here. It was the summation of the expectation on him, and his inability to handle it. Plus it was the first time we had lost to Canada in multiple generations. Hard times are ahead here.
  9. He's similar in that he will be attacked, especially on here, if hes allowed to play when hes not ready. One need only look at last night, him crying on the bench when he was pulled after a poor display(only slightly better than his Cuban performance) shows that. If the fans get on his back here he will revert to a below average player, ands that helps nobody here.
  10. He began hiding. Thats why he was pulled. You hate to see it though because you could see his confidence crushed on the bench. Say what you want about Roldan, but he didnt hide when the going got tough. Same way Willian can come on for 10 or so minutes and look horrific, but you dont notice Pulisic for the 80 minutes before that. He has a habit of hiding that he will have to grow out of. A lot of younger people will have to get used to the fact that we just cant roll over other countries in this region anymore. The days of Beaseley,Donovan, and Dempsey spoiled us in that regard.
  11. To be fair though you and I both know how it is here. Kalou was at a level not much different than where Pulisic is now and he was slaughtered. Of course the entire level of the squad was much higher back then, but the point remains. Nobody wins if Pulisic is thrown out into the deep-end before hes ready.
  12. Lol how long have people been waiting for that? Willian is teflon. Wanted by Barcelona,Spuds, and all managers. Cross him at your own peril.
  13. lol Not any bigger of a laugh than thinking Pulisic is ready to play here
