Nothing special so far. I couple of lost dribbles and a couple free kicks and a corner at least. Some light defensive work too. IIRC he should have won a FK near the box earlier(was it inside the box?) but hopefully he can do something before he gets subbed off. Anonymous performance.
Statistically a good stretch of games but that last performance left a bad taste in my mouth. I blame Bieber.
3 games in 7 days, would have been surprising for him to go long in this match. Rodriguez is dangerous LB so you need to be fresh on that side. But, that is 2 subs for Dortmund already.
Broadcasters reporting that Pulisic picked up an injury in the first half, which his why he was replaced by Castro. #bvb— sam samolians (@SamoliansSam) September 20, 2016 Hopefully minor.
I knew this kid would get hurt at some point but 3 starts in 7 days for a 17 year old going on 18 is a little much. Between club and int duty the kid could easily get overworked so I wouldn't mind seeing less of him. There is merit to the idea to playing it cool with the youts.
Christian Pulisic off at half. He completed 4 of 12 passes; fewest completions & lowest rate of any one in the 1st half. Cancel everything.— Paul Carr (@PaulCarr) September 20, 2016
Really, starting 3 times in 7 days was probably not a great idea. Tough spot for him. He was put against Ricardo Rodriguez who is an exceptional defender. Additionally, he is much better on the left, but so is Dembele. He'll be alright. The team still is going to win. This is just a blip in the road.
