I've never figured out how how much play acting goes on. I mean I played American football growing up/HS so I had a helmet facemask, but the skin on your face is rather sensitive? So I feel like I'd react pretty strongly to someone slapping/scratching my face?
well, what the helll! CP is being marked by Dest. One american that plays for the US in a position the coach 'hasn't figured out' and another where the coach 'figured it out wrong.' Both in the CL. what up?
bats in for Tammy, another shift in which he was completely invisible. Time for the Bats and Robin show, baby.
Puli makes a perfect run to the outside on a break, only Alonso to make the wrong pass Then Pulisic make a short run, finds Bats on the run, but Bats juuust couldn't get enough on it to finish, but resulted in a SOG
Pulisic makes another run, gets a shot off, deflected, falls PERFECTLY for Bats...who skies it. Pulisic is a chaos agent. His best quality
Some midfield play for Pulisic. He plays a short looping ball for Mount, but he does it well enough that it enables Mount to make a strong run towards goal, unencumbered
Probably should have done better with that cutback pass, but it was fairly well defended and still his best option. Resulted in a corner though
pulisic dribbles approx 3-4 defenders, plays a 1-2 with Bats and comes about about 1 foot wide of scoring from the edge of the box
There's stupidity, and then there's Kurt Zouma dribbling Ajax's midfield with just 2 defenders behind him.
getting into Frank's mind a bit. Willian and Tammy are kind of pure finishers, not exactly great in combination play. CP and Bats have that Dortmund cleverness around the box, give and go. He sees them as pairs.
