The Morning Footy crew take a look at the situation that occurred this past weekend where AC Milan’s normal penalty kicker Christian Pulisic didn’t attempt either of Milan’s two PKs in the match. And ironically, both were missed. The group discuss why this might have been the case and what the ripple effect of it going forward is. Did Pulisic show maturity in how he handled not taking PKs vs Fiorentina? Milan did lose the match ultimately 2-1.

Pulisic lwt his manager and himself down. It was his job to take the penalty he gets paid for it and was selected for but he allowed himself to get pushed around. Never getting the respect of his own teammates now. And maybe he hasn’t proven to be as good in training to his own teammates. He isn’t America best footballing talent.
Puli didn't get stepped on. He produces every game. That speaks for itself. The pk takers screwed the pooch. Even worse. He looks like an adult and Theo and Abraham look like incompetent kids.
If Pulisic shoots both pens he gets a hat trick Milan wins and he’s leading goal scorer in the league. How does a Tammy even want that?? He hasn’t put a foot right
He gotta be Tha Man, take it 2 the next level CP11. Let's go
He has bad teammates. Have your best penalty kicker take penalties. It's that simple.
“I don’t know why this happened” uhh you’re the manager bro 😂
Let your go-to-guy do his job ESPECIALLY when losing… Milan shot themselves in the foot. Christian proved later on, that, he doesn't need the penalties to make a difference, which says a lot about his confidence levels.
The best PK taker is one who doesn't need it to make a difference even if he is the one to take it
On the field, it should have been the captain who made sure they gave Puli the ball. Unfortunately, that was Hernandez, and he wanted a PK for his birthday apparently.
It's all about Theo Hernandez, he was the Captain and didn't do his job, Morata should be the Captain or Maignan
I think it was great Pulisic let them learn the hard way 🤷🏻♂️
To me it looked like Tomori SAW Pulisic walking towards the ball while it was in the air to get it, so he rushed and jumped up grabbed the ball and gave it to Abrahams chest, and Pulisic STILL told Abraham to give him the ball and he shook his head no. I think because he’s American and somewhat taking ALL the shine away from every single player on that team that he’s outcasted. If he was from England he’d be 90 rated in FC and praised by every pundit.
Tricky, had Christian stood up and taken the penalty and it got saved. Then what would people be thinking?
lol, loudest voice of disapproval the dude that played the least… typical
Milan better fix this, because this could easily devolve into Pulisic being more than happy peacing out to United or Liverpool when they come calling.
Edit: Was the gentleman on the right given a script for his take? Macho mouths on the pitch are for losers, don't let this man near anyone with leadership aspirations.
Ask the corrupt Peru fan how Pulisic can ASSERT himself vs Uruguay.
Pulisic must become ALPHA!
Tony Meola is BEING stepped on right now.
Pulisic INFERIORITY complex must end he need to win respect of teammates and FIGHT for his spot.
Tony Meola is soft.
Pulisic needs to be made of harder stuff.
Kinda crazy that CP let Tammy take a PK a few games ago as a goodwill gesture. Also, if you watch the Tammy PK Christian doesn't move.
I swear when it comes to pundits and CP they get tunnel vision when comparing him with other players. "Only 8 games". What about ALL of last season? "Theo can speak cause he has a WC." Ok Pulisic has a CL. He has legs to stand on. Hes not some newbie
Theo is overrated and so is Leao
Big Tones. Take a close look at De Gea on Puli's goal and please tell us… wrf is he doing with his hands? Seriously. W T F did he do with his hands as the ball went by?
Can we also admit that both the Milan penalties were actually pretty well taken, de Gea did a great job.
