      Amateurs review of Pulisic. It was 100% apparent to me in 2016 that Pulisic was the best American born player to play the game. And that his best potential position was always going to the 10 role in the center of the pitch. His only issue was lack of experience and not very much trust from his fellow players and coaching staff, through the last 8 years. He has the potential to be a World Class top 10 kind of player if the Manager and teammates use him in a free role in the center of the pitch to run at defenses, make plays and set up scoring for open players. He is equally good with either foot and statistically he scores at a higher percentage when allowed to work down the center. Ryan O'Hanlon is a 6 years late and 10 years behind in understanding Pulisic. He really shouldn't comment. I feel embarrassed for him.

      He also scored another today from a flawless corner kick.

      Though to me the main reason as to why he's been performing so well unlike before is not only his confidence but the team's managing.

      Having played in Dortmund and Chelsea, which both are big clubs, Pulisic is more mature and experienced. You can also tell he is significantly happier on the pitch, with the gleaming smile he makes.

      Chelsea and EPL sabotaged his career!! Why would they want to mold an American player for success??!! Used him at the beginning to lockdown American $viewership$….During the timeframe from Dortmund to Chelsea, he just needed the best coaching, mentorship, and experience that Europe had to offer!! Being a “cold turkey” on the bench doesn’t help a player get better or show his true potential!!

      Giving CP the game off was absolutely the right move. We know what he can do when HEALTHY. Poch learned way more by letting the others play in hostile Mexico. It's forward thinking, Keller doesn't see this which is why he talks about footbal and doesn't coach it

      1. He has been a steady starter. Some players have physical difficulties adapting to a rotational starter role.
      2. He doesn't get benched after a string of sub-par performances.
      3. He has been consistently fit
      4. The standard of Serie A is somewhat lower than that of the EPL.

      Why are we still looking like COVID19 is now COVID24? I mean really? Disney can't get their pundits HD cameras at home with backgrounds. I feel like the only way I can tell you are a journalist with creds is if you are talking to me in a digital tunnel. Jesus please give Disney more money so they can pay their reporters to buy better AV equipment at home. Poor lower middle class journalists.

      Am I the only person that notices that Pulisic is notably more muscular than he was at Chelsea. He’s a late bloomer and he’s finally at peak physical maturity. That has to play some roll in performance right?

      the fact that we must ask ourselves is why when teams like United, (for many years), and Chelsea, (not for as long as United but for a few years), buy players, even very good ones like Pulisic, do they fail? that's the question. United destroy every player they buy, Chelsea have destroyed so many, what is the reason? then let's also say that Pulisic had a huge amount of injuries at Chelsea…
