I am not an expert on strength training, but I highly doubt he can suddenly get stronger in a couple months. For me right now at least he has shown that he can produce. So if CHO need a break, he will play Puli there instead of playing Mount as lw. STOP QUOTING ME ON PULISIC! communicate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â he could increase his core strength a lot and learn how to use his body better at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
communicate 2,703 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 he could increase his core strength a lot and learn how to use his body better at leastThat is good to know.Not sure about your 2nd point. You can tell even when when he was shielding the ball with his body, he can be pushed around quite easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around 84th min of the newcastle game, he was played a ball down the wing, which lascelles, just so easily went through him and retrieved the ball. There are players in our current squad itself who can teach him that, players like willian who literally ride a challenge and a tackle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were other instances yesterday where Pulisic dribbled past challenges without turnovers, among other positives. Bosnian Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 https://www.espn.com/soccer/chelsea/story/3968465/chelseas-christian-pulisic-confident-scoring-touch-will-return "It was a really good game, happy for the team, had a strong performance, they defended really well, and I was happy to make an impact," Pulisic told ESPN after the match. It was a solid performance for Pulisic, who is still searching for his first goal with Chelsea since his $73 million summer move from Borussia Dortmund. He scored 13 goals during his three-year stint with the German club, along with 14 goals on international duty. "I was going to shoot last-second, but I saw Tammy wide open and then DeAndre made an unbelievable block, so maybe I should have shot it," Pulisic told ESPN on the scoring chance. "I just don't have that scoring touch but I know it will come back." ... "[Lampard] told me to do exactly what I'm doing now, continue to train hard, when i get my opportunity I have to take it," Pulisic said.

Fernando 6,585 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Much better then Willian. I assume that after Pulisic gets adjusted to the epl like Jorgi he will easily take over Willian spot. NikkiCFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially considering Willian good form never lasts for more than a couple weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sancho 😂 fuck sake we will be towards the bottom of the list for Sancho come next summer. We wont spend the 100m minimum Dortmund will want.  1905didierblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put that on top of the direction both clubs are heading i think we can comfortably beat United to his signature if we go for him.

But whether the club want to spend 100m+ on a player is another question altogether. Also, if Sane leaves Man City, you wonder if they'll try to bring Sancho back to the club.

We spend big on Kepa. I think for young players and especially giving that he is a top young English talent is well worth the investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Madrid, Barca, Liverpool and Bayern all linked as well as United and City. We will be near the bottom 100% because we arent going to just spend 100m+ like that which Dortmund will want and even then if we did bid that, just think what the likes of United, City and Reals could offer, clubs who have massive massive budgets due to their commercial incomes through sponsorships etc. Being friends with Tammy and Callum wont mean anything if we dont agree a suitable fee with Dortmund, which as I mentioned above with United, City and Real, buying him will be incredibly difficult. Also the direction we are going will mean nothing again if Real, Liverpool or City come for him. They are more competitive than us at this moment and that wont change in a season. Also Hazard and Morata money avaliable or not, I really dont see us spending 100m on one player who doesnt have a release clause. communicate and DDA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of a case going to a winning team than aiming for a redemption story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
