One of the most amusing things right now is how websites, etc. put Pulisic in the title of articles even if he has nothing to do with the story. Just for clicks from the American audience. Christian Pulisic's AC Milan reportedly push to lock key midfielder renewal as Premier League interest explodes - World Soccer Talk
He's not "out" mostly but he is nursing a bit of an injury. He is also receiving a LOT of attention by the other teams when he plays as no team wants to be the one he gets his touch back against. I kind of expect that he may be rested for a match or two but I believe he will be on the bench and play 20-30 minutes in any match he does start on the bench. Milan does not want to lose him from overuse and he has played a full 90 for three matches in a row and then missed a match totally and has not been effective since that three match stint. It would not surprise me if he was not rostered for Milan's match Sunday.
Sounds like when he plays for the USA against every Concacaf team that assaults him every time he gets on the ball.
Oops I think my post above is ok but you can delete it if necessary. Dont blame me blame the page turn.
Yep, thanks. The post is fine, but for the fact that it's a step away from talking about CP and towards something else. I'm going to delete yours and the one you replied to, just to close off the exit ramp.
Well Pulisic did not start but he came in somewhere around the 60 minute mark. The match was tied at the time or it was tied shortly there after after Milan had, against the run of play, taken a lead early in the second half. The reason I do not know exactly when he came in was that I got a phone call from my cousin in Alaska wanting to complain about the snow they have been getting. I told her about how badly the NWS missed the southern edge of the latest storm here as I, in middle SE Tenn, got only a dusting and no ice after a prediction of 4-8 inches of snow and 3/4 of an inch of ice here. But that is not germane to this thread. Puisic did not look either good or bad but he did move pretty well, I do not think that when he came in and the way Roma was playing is at all suited to his play even when healthy. I can make no judgements about his play or health from the end of the second half I did see but, if I were rating him I would give him a neutral rating as there was virtually nothing to see. Millan looked like warmed over crap in this match and they were very lucky to steal a draw. As a further aside. Receiving the call from my cousin really set me off my ability to analyze soccer so I may be way off in what I saw particularly in the second half after Pulisic came in. My cousin very rarely complains about the weather so she must be really down about this winter. She said her normal snow depth at this time would be about 60-70 inches and their next snow would put the years total to date above 120 inches. Of course she lives very far north in Alaska but she is unable, even using their snow cat, to make it to the nearest town. Of course she has plenty of food and local power so she is OK, just very very bored as all but one of her nine kids have moved away so the extended family is very small and the local Indians are all socked in. Sorry for the digression. Also Alaska is, as my youngest grandniece says, mondo weird. I know she is not really my grandniece as the daughter of my cousin's son should be called "first cousin twice removed" but my cousin and I grew up more as brother and sister than cousins.
