Pulisic on Lampard: “He was an incredible goal-scorer so we work on it a lot in training and today was a great day and I just want to keep going."

Should never of been written off in the first place, far too early.

He's a kid and has time on his side.

Your learning your lesson from when you wrote off Abraham I see

It was against Manchester United.. Even 3 penalty would've been perfect!

When it comes to Chelsea FC I love being proved wrong.

Honestly I still don't think Abraham or Pulisic are extraordinary talents. Lampard improves them and they want to get better unlike some irresponsible lackadaisical young players, they have the drive to get better. Pulisic himself says that they work a lot on his finishing.

This is a great combination for us. A manager who can improve young players and young players determined and talented enough to get better as we can not spend like PSG or Real.

Halfway there, sort of. The most he's scored for Dortmund in a season was 7 in 2018/19 and the most he's assisted for them in one season was 13 in 2016/17. 

that 2016/17 Dortmund team was a joy to watch

Wasn't on a cold night in Burnley though.

It was a mild night in Burnley

Pulisic, more than anyone, has benefited from Lampard’s influence and his decision to ignore outside pressures and introduce the 21-year-old American to the Premier League slowly.

On just his fourth start, and first since the last day of August, the US captain claimed a hat-trick inside an hour, perfectly dispatched via left foot, right foot and head.

Given the focus placed on “Captain America” in his homeland, the outpouring of relief was tangible.

“Of course there is a sense of relief, you could see that in my emotions after the first goal,” said Pulisic. “That relief of getting my first goal and being able to help my team at this level.

“I wanted to be on the field as much as I could right from the start. That is everyone’s goal.

“But I didn’t come here expecting everything to be easy, to have an easy route and start every game. So I came in had to work for my spot just like everyone does. I’m proud of the journey that I’ve had so far.”

I don't want to play the "I told you" card but it's funny how everyone is happy with him now. In January, he was only a marketing move, injury prone, average... Ronaldo left MU at the age of 24, he reached his prime years later. Just check his statistics at the age of 20.. Also Agüero, Suarez, Messi, Sterling, Salah, Firmino, Mané, Griezmann, Neymar and many more.. None of them reached their prime at the age of 20.

 

Ofc Pulisic still can be a flop - André Schürle scored a PL hattrick for us too - but he clearly got the talent and skills, we have to be patient, he might end up a world class product in a couple of years.

Messi was the best player in the world at the age of 21 though, so next year 😏😏

I am one of many or some people here who said that Puli is not ready. Not sure last game change anything. Physically he is just too weak right now but if you want to get the best out of him right now play him on the left, with Alonso playing wide and attacking, Puli can play more inside and higher.

I did not trust in his ability and I thought this was 70-80% a marketing move because the little I have seen of him at Dortmund he looked like your average Joe, but maybe I was not lucky enough and I picked the wrong matches where he had a bad day. 

There is raw talent and ability and now the next step for our young players, not only for Pulisic, is to hit that gym and bulk up because, apart from tactics and all the skills, that's one of the secrets of this game. Take Liverpool's front three compared to where they were when they arrived there, now they are strong and imposing and are an even bigger threat and all this w/o losing their pace (Salah, Mane).

He only scored because he went against the manager and was out of position...........Ffs!    :0)

 

" This is something Hazard used to do a lot and can be detrimental to the team, pushing fellow forwards out of the way to accommodate his own attacking desires and leaving the space wide and behind vulnerable to counters. Did Lampard really gift Pulisic, a player who has had to work to break into the team this season, the amount of freedom he took?
