Christian Pulisic at AC Milan

Same here.

We could see these two on the field more often than not.

Kepa>>>De Gea just saying - Kepa is even Spain's #1 now - Also Tomori is a better player than what you are giving him - don't worry on Oct 30th, Chelsea will prove my points

Well, they're playing on the same side of the pitch, one iniside and one outside AND they can rotate, so that's probably not surprising.

But, going back to my previous point, they're both good players which means they can play together IMO.

 

interesting seeing English pundits preview the Burnley match. Cho is being put on a pedestal right now as the Chelsea star, despite having a horrid game against Ajax. He still has a lot to grow. They don't see how Pulisic gets into the team, still, due to Cho, Mount, RLC, etc.

I don't think he starts this game due to the nature of Burnley, but after 3 sharp performances you would think he would get acknowledged by the English a bit.

 

Doing what I can, brother....

 

Convincing the English that Pulisic is better than CHO is about as tough as it was to convince us that Sancho was better than Pulisic a little over a year ago. Hopefully Pulisic, like Sancho was, is capable of making that happen.

 

Well I just wanted to say I was completely wrong about Lamps. Dude nailed the tactics against Ajax and the man management. Guess that's why he's a world class footballer and now perhaps manager and I'm just some schmuck killing time at the office.

 

You're not alone. Many of us here are also guilty.

 

Before that game he'd registered a goal or assist in every game he's played this season, and even against Ajax he got in great positions.

 

which review is that, link?...I've seen some calling for CP to get the start tomorrow, replacing either William or Mount.

 

The same could be said for the alternative. I love CP as a player and think he has the potential to be an elite footballer... but CHO is also a fantastic talent and I could see him reach a similar peak. Time is certainly going to tell...

As an aside... it has been a rather uninspiring recent run of form for Sancho after his red-hot start to the season (3 goals and 5 assists in 1st 5 games)... he has a single assist in his last 4 games between the BDL and CL.... He didn't play all that well for the ENT during the Int'l Window either... and subsequently got suspended for a game on his return to the club due to tardiness. Not really sure what is happening at Dortmund... but Sancho may already have his eyes on Man U or Liverpool. He is an absolute phenom... but watching him play in the last several matches has me scratching my head because he looks a bit uninterested.

 

Quote from Lampard makes a CP start against Burnley a real possibility:

https://soccer.nbcsports.com/2019/10/25/pulisic-in-strong-contention-to-start-at-burnley/

 

I am eager to see a midfield with CP, CHO and Mount w/ Bats up front.

 

Replacing Willian makes the most sense. Willian looks very tired. He's been playing multiple straight games at very high tempo.

This also give Lamp the flexibility to slot either Mount or CP in the hole.

 

Lamps is doing fine for a novice coach, but I won't believe there is a pro-academy bias until Puli gets his proper chances.

 

CHO has amazing skills and potentials, but there's still much to be seen from CHO. He's very very far from the finish product.

Sancho is already half way out the door. Hopefully he doesn't turn into a Dembele, he got awesome skills to be elite. I like his game more than CHO to be honest.

 

So am I.

 

I thought she was fairly talented. No Ginny Weasley but still.

 

The way Willian defends is amazing. He does a lot of sprinting to the spot when pressing up top and when tracking back to defend. Very uncommon for a forward or midfielder.

 

If Pulisic start tomorrow on national TV I hope he keeps the intensity he has shown going for 90 minutes.

The game I was able to watch when he started was painful. He came out strong in the first half then looked uninspired or maybe just tired in the second half. He needs to keep the intensely and drive up. The problem is that I’ve seen this when he plays for the National team as well.

Fingers crossed

 

And he brings almost nothing to the attack.

Do you want your attacker to focus only on defending?

You have defenders and defensive midfielders in the game for that.

It's like you want your tight ends to only block and make tackles.

 

Lamp expects full intensity for the full 90.

He yanked Willian in the 66th min, and Mount in the 64th prior to that.

 

I believe that if Lampard can get through to Pulisic, not only will he help Pulisic become the player everyone in the U.S. is expecting but Lampard will help the U.S. national team 100 times more than Berhalter can in his lifetime.
