ZAPHOD2319 4,818 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I think all three have had long enough to show they can finish, which is what their expectations are. I think Werner and Pulisic can still improve, but it may need to happen somewhere else as there just seems to be lacking chemistry here. I honestly loved Ziyech at Ajax, but I don't think he has what it takes to play in the PL. I will pay attention to Pulisic when he goes to his next team, like I do for all the top USMNT players, but I doubt I watch many full games. Pulisic has regressed since his play after the restart. He might need a new team to find his way back to being aggressive and directly finishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it, though; it's something he hasn't been able to address thus far & probably never will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, his overall career record suggest he is injury prone but do people realize that Pulisic has had only ONE notable injury in the whole of 2021 (and it wasn't even his fault!)? So he has been pretty much available for at least 3/4 of the year and his biggest issue now is the performances when starting games. Tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 He was awful but it was unfair to ask him doing all this on his own as f9 still he should have buried that and his wastefulness is not exactly out of character Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,175 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 so sick of all the yank assclowning ‘Pulisic is too good for Chelsea, he’s being wasted’ – USMNT legend Lalas hails ‘incredible’ talent https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/pulisic-too-good-for-Chelsea-being-wasted-usmnt-lalas-incredible-/1q4r6ys46ggul1x51mmkpxypg0  Fans slate staggering US clip discussing Christian Pulisic as 'LeBron James of soccer' A hilarious viral clip of American fans calling Chelsea's Christian Pulisic one of the greatest players in the world and a "central midfielder" has left fans in hysterics https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/christian-pulisic-american-fans-lebron-25752243  Fans have been left in awe after a video clip emerged of an American TV show where Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic was likened to LeBron James, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. An American fan attempted to flog a signed Pulisic jersey for around £1,130 on the TV show Pawn Stars as he made some extravagant claims. The clip has since made its way to UK Twitter where English fans have been left stunned at how little supporters back in his homeland knew about the player. While the American is his nation’s youngest ever captain and even won the Champions League last season, regular Premier League viewers will be aware that his level is far below that of Messi’s or Ronaldo’s.    Johnnyeye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,818 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Meh, that show claims all kinds of weird shit about items being sold and nobody takes Lalas serious. The only reason he gets airtime is he says outrageous crap that his peers laugh at on air. He has always been a joke. It would be very different if Pulisic said these things, but he doesn’t. What these clowns say is what they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulisic has to earn his minutes and then do something when he has them, which has not been happening lately. The problem with some fans here is they follow MLS teams only so they only see Pulisic play for the USMNT where he shines against CONCACAF teams. They only see highlights on Sportscenter of him so they have an unrealistic idea of how he is doing in PL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,319 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Pulisic is 20th player in minutes played this season in the squad and last one of all 7 attackers. Plus often plays out of position false 9, wing back so would not focus on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't try to dribble past players and I suppose just like everyone else, also makes wrong decisions in the final third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real (admitedly a huge one but still) and Palace away is genuinely all i can think off since the start of last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think it is a good quality to be versatile and able to play in all kinds of positions and have different strengths on the pitch.
