Christian Pulisic

[Jase 43,479]

I know Pulisic has been playing in different positions of late but think @Tomo hit the nail on the head not too long ago. Barring the purple patch after the lockdown back in 2019/20, Pulisic has not been good/consistent at all when he starts (unless it's against Crystal Palace). He has been better when coming off the bench against tired legs etc. Tuchel was onto something with his comments and usage of him last season.

Bit anonymous tonight - on the positive looks like hes been in the gym, beefed up a bit

He is useless as a false 9. Even better as rwb. Would rather use him as a sub. But is a sub worth the fee? Can easily see us selling him for those 40m in summer 

probably time we buy some proven wc winger  like chiesa. Tho there are very few of those

If he was still showing signs of class despite his so so performances (Kai or even Ziyech) or still producing good metrics (Callum) I'd say persist with him for a while.

My issue is, what is he actually demonstrating right now that gives any hope he will 're explode? I've said it as a joke a few times but he's really starting to look like an American version of Alex Iwobi.

Pulisic and Ziyech are only of our 7 attackers I ever saw delivering from the bench. Pulisic in Chelsea had 10 games with goals or assist from the bench Ziyech 2 times this season.

And this may trick you Pulisic won his place sometimes and deserves to start but once he does nothing happens.

Use his as super sub.

That was the case at Dortmund & nothing has changed. If we can cash in, we ought to.

Him or Ziyech need to go in the summer. One of them.

If we are going to be honest two of Pulisic, Ziyech, or Werner need to go in the summer.

At Dortmund, that is somewhat forgivable considering he was only a teen but he's been around long enough now.

Gotta be Puli and Ziyech in this scenario.

 

For as shit as Werner looks sometimes he offers more than the other 2.

I wouldn't let anyone go next year without a replacement.

If football manager is anything to go by next year is the worst schedule yet.

Still not enough for someone who cost us €50m. We bought Werner to score goals, contributing assists alone isn't enough when almost all of our forwards are also underperforms.

Pretty sure we will bring a replacement, our forwards situation can't continue next season. Something need to change either they start performs or we will bring a replacement.
