  1. I’m sorry. But I don’t think Giroud has been better than Pulisic this season. I say this because most of Giroud’s goals have come from the spot, and not from the field of play. It’s for that reason I say that Pulisic is doing better than Olivier Giroud.

    Also, I feel like Puli could be doing even better, if his teammates passed to him more in the box. I’ve been seeing Leao throw away chance after chance, when he could have easily squared the ball.

  2. Sorry but if it wasn’t for Pulisic, Giroud would not have had half his goals via assists or earning penalties. Anyone who has followed AC Milan know Pulisic is definitely their best player thus far in the the season.

  3. Most of Girouds goals came from penalties created by other players and the majority of the games it seems like Giroud is invisible so how has he been their best player. I don't think this lady has watched any games I think she just pulled up stats and highlights.

  4. Pulisic is in the conversation for our best player… this season. For me, Tomori is also in that conversation. Theo and Leao are not form at the moment, but Leao is typically a 2nd half of the season player so I'm hoping he turns it around.

    If I had to choose between Tomori and Pulisic… and trying to keep my bias at bay, I'd still have to ever-so-slightly give it to Pulisic. Its not just his contributions, but WHEN those contributions have occurred. Of his 7 goals, I think only 1 of them is a non-crucial one. His defense and work rate has been incredible, too. He's been fantastic and I pray he stays healthy and fit.

    Leao, Chuku, Jovic/Giroud, and Pulisic is a pretty scary attack. The only question is where does Reijndeers play in that formation?

  5. Giroud even being in question for “best player this season” is such a casual take. He’s actually a weak point in our attack at the moment, regardless of what the stats say.

    The real contention for best player of the season would be tomori, reijnders, or pulisic. Probably could also put big mike in there as well.

  6. Leo is a ball hog he needs move to Madrid to humble himself back into focus he head and his gestures suggest he's too good for Milan
    He never came off arrogant playing for lille or with ibra but dam bro got shyt stats for fifa

  7. Headlines like this are so counter-productive. Stop heaping pressure and expectations upon him. Stop making him the target for so much anti-Americanism. Let's just appreciate CP is a quality American player who has re-discovered his love for the game. Thank you and shout out to all the Milan fans for being so supportive of him. He did not have that level of support at his prior club.

  8. Giroud and Pulisic are a great combination and seem to have a good bond. Maybe it has to do with the fact that Giroud's wife is American!

  9. It drives me nuts when people pronounce the D at the end of Giroud. The man is French- it’s pronounced
    GeeRoo.

    Giroud is still a beast in the box. He just doesn’t help the team get there very much. His link up play has been atrocious. Puli in a 10 role might be just what needs to happen.
