That is a good thing, but more than strength and conditioning, Puli needs to learn how to use his body. 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. 

Agree with the general point but players can lose the ball, sometimes easily. There were other instances yesterday where Pulisic dribbled past challenges without turnovers, among other positives.

"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.

Much better then Willian. 

I assume that after Pulisic gets adjusted to the epl like Jorgi he will easily take over Willian spot.

No doubt about that. Especially considering Willian good form never lasts for more than a couple weeks.

More like Mount's place if he doesn't improve. Sancho will take Willian's spot next season.

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.

Yes we will, we have Morata and Hazard money, still need to sell alot of the dross. 

This guy explains perfectly why he will likely come here if were in for him

Sancho is a boyhood Chelsea fan and best mates with Callum and Tammy.

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.

Would he want to go back?

Not every player wants their "redemption" story.

But think about it practically.

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.

That was only around 70 million. We're talking about 100 million or potentially even more here!

More of a case going to a winning team than aiming for a redemption story.
