    I'd agree, extremely similar to Dortmund Dembele

    No minutes the last two matches... hasn’t played more than 15 minutes yet. Surprising after his monster preseason. Absolutely not a good start for his season.

    This game was an absolute beating..... a perfect example of why we shouldn't let our youth players into England until they're 25 years old.

    He seems to be a player on another planet. You hear whispers of him from time to time and await his return to earth so we can watch him.

    I liked subsequent run and two passes.

    I kind of meant the tackle followed by the run. He had a sublime through ball as well. Plus, I'm high on Akale today because he retweeted me.

    the through ball was perfectly timed and weighted. the second was just good instincts.

    I'm just rooting for all these young, quick attacking players. it would be great for one or more to break through.

    We desperately need the Mukwelle and Nick Taigues to pan out or we really can’t play a style where Pulisic would truly excel. We also have to have a national team manager that chooses to play a certain way.

    Our boy put up two this morning in a 4-1 win. Highlights to come...a lot of talk from Villarreal about how well him and Samu played

    Not too long ago, both Villarreal B and CE Sabadell, were playing in the Segunda Division.

    Early days yet, but they could be on track for promotion back this year. They narrowly lost to group leader Hercules and are currently ahead of Barca B.

    His goals per minute played so far this year is absolutely insane.

    Stepped away from this thread for awhile but glad to see there’s some positives.

    Have his previous goals been more like Amon / Gall / Sabbi creating his own chances, or more like the ones in his last game?

    Not to take away from the success he has but wondering what his strengths are.

    I would qualify the majority of his goals as goals created through his off the ball movement.

    He scores goals of all types but his movement is what truly separates him from other prospects. Over the last year, he has transitioned from a winger with Villarreal back to his natural position as a true #10 this has given him an increased ability to float which in my opinion is very important for his game. If he can float into space he sees he will be able to identify the appropriate channels for his runs.

    His first three steps are insanely fast and they create a ton of space for him.
