Our next qualifier is when? A healthy pulisic will get time at Chelsea on his own merits. As long as he’s healthy by the next window IDGAF what he does between now and then. And neither should Gregg.
People complaining about the passing, you really can't discount how much this pitch is clearly affecting every aspect of the passing, from planting to kick, to the bounce of the ball underway, to controlling the ball.
It was a nice assist, but the young man is clearly limited- in large part due to his age. If we think the 'answer' is to bet everything + every game on his development and production over the next 12 months (versus trying out, integrating and providing a solid 'OPTION B' (and possibly a C) during WCQ...we are totally fooling ourselves. We can't use the excuse of "every game is crucial, therefore he (Pepi) must start every game." A big part of WCQ is also setting yourself up for success at the World Cup also. And that can only happen through smart & strategic rotation (and giving decent backup minutes) over many games during WCQ. Pepi deserves the #1 shirt...but it should be a competition and rotation/training for B (and some C) option as well.
what the hell was Jedi going to do there even if he did control it? Just take a shot the worst thing that happens is it goes in.
I think Robinson is easily the best left back we have. But, I also think Robinson is a bit too sloppy on the ball a bit too often.
Robinson is so close to being a genuinely top-class player. Has everything but the technical quality.
This announcer ********ing sucks lol. Not even a hint of excitement on that Busio shot. He sounds like he's commentating on a third-rate PGA event.
That Busio shot didn't miss by much. At least he's willing to take that shot to hopefully draw out the Jamaican defense and open some space up.
