Christian Pulisic at AC Milan

Pulisic, Kante, Jorghino and Azpi getting a rest today.

I think this will be a tough one with Mount and Gilmore in the middle. We'll see.

 

Why the consensus that he would (should?) not start this one? Is it purely about preserving his fitness/energy, and a calculated risk that Chelsea can take this one without him? Or is there something else at work?

 

Don't over think it, those are the reasons.

 

They have Madrid a few days later. Win that one and they're in the CL Final. I think that probably has a bit more significant than this game.

 

Step 1 completed.

 

Yes. Rest for big matches to come. Makes sense.

 

Because its the logical and smart move. They need him fresh and available against Madrid in the second league and against Leicester in the FA cup final.

 

This is complicated.

If it came from a live in significant other (wife, girlfriend,boyfriend)..., and if they’re anything like my wife...you have to wear it every time you sit down to watch Chelsea play.

That situation aside...the proper answer is never.

 

It seems now CHO is also disappearing with Tammy.

 

Trend of CHO not being particularly coachable? I still feel bad for both those kids. They are super talented, but clearly something is off in training - especially for CHO.

 

Burn the hat. Rip the club badge off the jersey. Wear it whenever you like.

 

I worry about top 4. But I see the logic.

 

Tuchel said that Pulisic, Kante, and Azpi were rested because there was a “clear risk of injury” if they played.

 

I like Mount in the middle of the second line, Havertz at false 9, Ziyech in the attack. (Replace Werner with CP and that would be my preferred line generally.) I think those are good things. CFC boar fans are weeping tears of elation over the Gilmour start. It is quite intense. And most of them hate the three things I mentioned in the first sentence.

 

A+ avi

 

I wonder how they determined the "clear risk"? So many questions.

 

For Pulisic it is pretty obvious to me as much as he has been injured.
Every game is a clear risk of injury.

 

Cynical, but true.

I was wondering if they use some type of blood tor stress test to measure any deviation from his baseline.

 

i mean i am sure they are utilizing some sophisticated methods with their assets worth a combined 100+ million

 

Chelsea is up 2-0, I am guessing Pulisic won't see the pitch today.

 

Wear it early and often.

 

Biometric monitoring.

It also sounds much better then our B side ought to be more than enough for this lot.

 

Wear it proudly and often around the house, but never outside, saying that you don’t want it to get stained or ruined.

 

10/10 Great performance. Lively around the box, got a goal, and shored up the defense as well.
