Christian Pulisic

Whomever decided to schedule Nations League and Gold Cup back to back should lose their job. The team and players did the right thing in getting players some rest and going back to their clubs.

Fully vaccinated so his return will be faster.

Pretty sure you still have to do 10 days isolation even if double vaccinated for testing positive. Can still transmit it to others. Or is that out the window?

Maybe, but better than he is actually going through covid because he is unvaccinated.

Yes u still have to do 10 days but... if he lives with some 1 who has covid he doesn't have to self isolate because he's fully vaccinated.

Puli throwing himself into danger and gets hurt. Stays on the field limping through his stride and goes down. Had to be substituted off. Hope it is nothing major.

Said it 100 times. He has to stop taking unnecessary risks. His feeble body is not meant for that. Internationals are a curse

Unfortunately, the type of player he is, he will always get hard knocks or tackles in games. The club, his NT and himself have to find a way to strengthen those areas/rehabilitate so that he doesn’t get as many knocks and can play more games.

Maybe genetically he is unfortunate too but I remember Joe Cole being someone who got a lot of knocks but never really changed his style. If Puli was to totally change his style though it would be a waste of incredible pace and 1 v 1 ability.

He has had a lot of knocks and maybe it will be an issue for him in his long term career but also Arjen Robben was the same. Look how that went. Went to Spain then Germany and played a high volume of games.

I don’t get what you mean by he has to stop taking unnecessary risks…. I mean really what does that mean? Stop going in for 50/50s? Or stop taking people on? Be scared of getting tackled? If he starts doing that he will get criticised for it.

It is clearly genetic. Among other factors he has short muscle bellies and long tendons so the muscles don't go over the the joints to protect them as the case with more stocky guys, hence knocks do more damage.

About unnecessary risks, i have seen him chase after lost balls and getting into 1vs1s even when the game is stopped.  Last season at ManUre he went after a ball he could never reach just after the whistle had gone and got absolutely clattered by that thug mctominay and had to receive treatment afterwards. This is the kind of risk he should not be taking.

Also there is just no point playing him vs archaic teams who just kick the shit out of you on their agricultural pitches.

Those teams arguably get the best out of him though. Burnley, Palace, Watford, Villa, etc.

No I meant teams like Honduras, Panama or the championship teams or lower we play in the cups
