Christian Pulisic

[Special Juan 28,133]

Totally deserved his standing ovation last night, he was absolute golden.

He's going to be some player for us.

[Alabama 1,992]

Lool...

So much for marketing deal and company of lots wanting him to go out on loan... 

The kid is our most talented and influential attacker right now at the age of 21.. 

He is going to be a colossal signing if he continues to develop and progress at this rate...

[!Hazard! 3,394]

He was worth 60 million alone for the marketing stuff. But he has actually proved to be a competent Hazard successor, which makes that transfer a bargain.

Our transfers in 2019: Kovacic for 40 and Pulisic for 60. That's fantastic value for money

[Yeboii 1,844]

His unpredictability must strike fear in any defender coming up against him. He can also be so fast and direct!

I think Frank and Jody have done wonders for his game. He has a real direction he is trying to take his game on the pitch and it shows

This. He has all the talent in the world, it was just a question of what type of player he wanted to be. Dortmund's direct of development (or something) once said they have never had a player that was this good at this many things.

I would argue that could be both a good and a bad thing.  He certainly needs to specialize and focus in a few areas or else he would just end up being a very good player in a lot of ways.  I was worried that could happen. But he seems like he is going to be a great player with an all around game too instead. Lamps clearly wants him to be a difference maker in terms of goals and assists, getting in the box, etc.  He wants him to be a bit of a killer and that will be HUGE for his development.  

So excited that we have him.

2nd USMNT Player of the Year award in 3 years. Youngest player to win it twice. 

On a different note, nice to see the crowd give him a standing ovation on Tuesday.

It has been a case of back to reality after a few good games for Pulisic. He loses possession far too much to ever be a top player in my honest opinion. He can and will look good in brief moments but he really should be a squad player at best.

Who on this team should be starting at his position?

there is no one

our wingers, other than Pulisic (who cannot carry the team alone atm like Hazard could at times) are simply nowhere near quality at this point (CHO included, unfortunately, due to his massive injury)

Unfortunately our attack is dreadful and it making all of them look worse than they really are. I don't know if it is a product of training or the players just don't anticipate where each other are going, but we better get it sorted out quick before we drop like a rock.

Define 'our attack is dreadful'. In terms of getting of Shots and Shots On Target, we're in the Top 3 in both aspects. It's the conversion rate that's hurting us. If you look at the team now, only Abraham, Pulisic and Mount have goals in them. The rest are inconsistent, non-prolific players, players who score only once every while.

I admit, I was not clear. I am talking about our last 4 games. We are not converting on the opportunities we are presented with. We have been dreadful lately. Using the goals from the beginning of the season probably props up the stats, but lately it has been shit. I do believe with the personnel we have, we can turn it around.

That's the risk we take with having young players in these key areas.
