No mention of the "in the Premier League bit". Of course that made me ask, "You what?" Jimmy Greaves was younger than Puli is now when he left Chelsea. By then he had scored five in a game three times, four in a game three other times, and seven more hattricks on top of those. We'll give Gary that he meant ever in the Premier League.

It's silly, isn't it? If Pulisic was ignoring instructions and drifting elsewhere, we would have seen Lampard berating him to get back into position. And furthermore as you said, anyone who has watched us this season will know whoever has been playing at the left side is tasked/allowed to drift infield whenever possible, so that Alonso/Emerson can overlap - certainly more so than our right side.

communicate 2,703 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I think the interesting question for this season, will Lamp play CHO on the right and play Puli on the left. It feel like CHO is better on the wing whereas Puli is better between the line. kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a premium article As you may have seen from the headline, the writer basically said Pulisic shouldn't have scored his first two goals because he started at LW. He questioned whether Pulisic ignored Lampard's orders and drifted infield - since his first two goals originated from central position - or Lampard simply gave him the creative freedom to roam from the left side - the writer certainly tried to imply the former, for whatever reason. manpe and communicate 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Saw this on another forum. Pulisic is the 18th player to score a hat-trick in the Roman Abramovich era: Didier Drogba = 4 Frank Lampard = 4 Nicholas Anelka = 2 Eden Hazard = 2 Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink = 1 Eidur Gudjohnson = 1 Salomon Kalou = 1 Fernando Torres = 1 Samuel Eto'o = 1 Andre Schurrle = 1 Diego Costa = 1 Oscar = 1 Michy Batshuayi = 1 Alvaro Morata = 1 Ruben Loftus-Cheek = 1 Olivier Giroud = 1 Tammy Abraham = 1 Christian Pulisic = 1 Johnnyeye and OneMoSalah 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both goals were off turnovers and break away runs.

Yeah but the writer argued that he shouldn't have been in the central position to force those turnovers because he was meant to be play at LW. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,818 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Ahhh. Like others I couldn't read the entire article. He was saying he was out of position defencively, and honestly defence is not Pulisic's strength. I will say this, Lampard loves aggression on both sides of the ball. I doubt he looked at it negatively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,818 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Pulisic has been given free roaming on the US team for many years under several coaches. I'm not saying that is a good thing, just it has become a natural thing for him to do. Fulham Broadway and manpe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he looked at it negatively. Pulisic might not be physically strong but being weak defensively at that is one thing, being weak tactically is another and the latter doesn't apply to him. As I said before, if Pulisic was going out of position and doing his own thing, we would have seen Lampard telling him off during the game but that didn't happen. And anyone who's watched us this season will know our players have the creative freedom in attack without jeopardizing the team balance.
