      Would like to see Pioli experiment with a 4-2-3-1 with Giroud up top and Leao-CP-Chuk flanking. All four in the attack would be formidable.

      Who is this idiot calling it a dumpster fire. Ppl were expecting a lot from christian at che,sea. He was not the level for premier league. He is good for Bundesliga or SerieA. Face the reality.

      Tijani was better than Pulisic. Pulisic had a great start to the game, but faded. Tijani controlled the midfield the entire time, and he was the actual one who created the Giroud goal.

      Pulisic has always been really talented, at times he was the best player on the field at Chelsea however he was so inconsistent and many times almost invisible. Didn’t help that he was always in and out of the team. Always thought he needed to move to resurrect his career. Will be interesting to see his progress/ whether he fulfils his potential at Milan.

      One other thing! It's extremely important for a player to know that the team, the coach, WANTS HIM INDEED, TRULY BELIEVES IN HIM… well, that's one feature that makes a difference and brings the best out of a player (remember Lukaku, when he first came to Inter, what was Conte's attitude towards him… and turned out to be the final result for Lukaku?!?!?). And I'm sure this wouldl be the case with Pulisic, regardless of whether he'll play from the right, or behind the striker in 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 I've no doubt (just as I've been saying from the moment the rumors about his transfer began to be aired) he'll do great!

      And maaan, just how smart Milan's summer mercato has been!?!?! They bought and signed SO MANY PLAYERS for cheap, way below their real value, as a result of being in the last year of their contract. They got all these guys, for at least double less than what would've been if they had full term contract! Loftus Cheek, Pulisic, Chukwueze… THAT'S DEFINITELY A BRILLIANT WORK by Milan's new directors!
      Milan's future looks definitely bright!
      They're probably still behind Napoli in Serie A, but we see that they will put a big emphasize this year on the UCL (which they wanna win it,although it's for sure that they would love to retain the Scudetto)… so we'll see what happens once the groups in the Champions League would be drawn! Milan surely is gonna fight on both of these fronts!

      The thing that Pulisic brings to the squad is his playmaker capabilities, Pulisic has GREAT vision and is able to perform nice crossers, and good distribution of the ball at the front, which it is REALLY beneficial when you have a tall target striker like Giroud. That's something that Milan severly lacked the previous season, having to rely purelly on Leao to do the wonders and Giroud to make the clutches in desperate situations.

      Still… i believe that the attack could be further boosted, if Pioli goes back to the 4-2-3-1, with Pulisic playing as the main playmaker behind Giroud, and having both Leao and Chukwueze on the flanks.
