I'm 90 seconds in and he's already quickly and easily beaten a man and put in a dangerous cross. Looking pretty sharp right off the bat.
Does my soul good to see him looking rested. It was hard to watch him play late last season. He needed a break and it's done him a world of good. He's got that electric first step back.
The assist: Preseason Pulisic assist. I'll call it a "prulissist." Never mind the poor defending from the left back. pic.twitter.com/xcGP2gwKJJ— scuffed (@scuffedpod) July 13, 2018
Beats his man and puts in a great cutback cross for the goal. Finish was easier than a penalty. I don't think this AW left back is very good... but either way this is what I would like to see MUCH more of from CP this season.
In 42', great counter with flubbing 1v1 against keeper. Should be 2-0. CP with a one-two, then takes a touch and gets fouled to avoid the break. BVB looks good! Liverpool - BVB next week should be a fun one. Can't wait to see how the respective stars perform.
I'm behind. I'm about to skip halftime though. AW had a break and should have scored probably, saved by Hitz. AW free kick also saved by Hitz. CP wins a throw after controlling the hoofed long ball counter.
I have a feeling Schurrle is going to be the odd man out this season. I think Favre will like having CP and Sancho on the wings. The one concern is, if Isak is their only forward, they are in trouble.
