I just realized, Milan have another match in just 3 days, I imagine Pulisic starts that one, they've had some fixture congestion this week to make up for their partifipation in that tourney in Doha. Edit: FInal 2 Milan subs, neither Pulisic. DNP for our guy
3-1, Rabiot just scored a worldie. What a strike. I hate that CP is not playing and not scoring at such a high rate lately, but if Milan are actually going to compete for a trophy, they need more guys scoring than just CP/Leao, so that is a positive
Subs and bench all run to celebrate with Rabiot - I do not see Pulisic among them? maybe Allegri did let CP sneak out to the crib early
Glad this game was away…3 points! Hopefully Pulisic was just being rested and doesn’t have some niggling injury.
The link to the report isn't working, but McLachBot has Fullkrug with 3 progressive passes received to Nkunku's 0. Progressive distance in yards (which counts both dribbles and passes) is 49 (Nkunku) to 41 (Fullkrug). Like, not to go full Office Space on him, but other than scoring PKs, "what does Nkunku *do* here?" Also has Rabiot's 2 goals at a COMBINED TOTAL of 0.08 xG. Amazing.
Pulisic active so far spraying the ball around well. A couple of good runs that were not rewarded with the pass. Was ran over from behind in the box but not a PK according to the Ref and VAR.
Pulisic with a narrow angle shot saved out for a corner. Announcers questioning if Pulisic and Leao pair well up top without a real striker.
Halftime, just ok from Pulisic, he faded at the end of the half and had some turnovers. Milan were better but no big scoring chances. Leao was well contained. Saelemakaers and Rabiot made a few good plays but the rest of the midfield were invisible.
Feels like yet another game when Milan may get sucker punched. Milan need to get it in sync, Pulisic included.
Saelamaker's with a donkey's first touch blows an easy scoring chance. I sure like Rabiot on Milan, he's such a good fit. Puli looking decent, other than not getting enough of the ball.
very clever little give n go between Puli and Ricci leads to a near goal from Ricco - great save by the keeper to keep it out.
Milan is putting on pressure, Pulisic still not getting the ball in dangerous situations. Hopefully Fullkrug comes on for an allegedly not 100% Leao soon.
Man, that Lecce's keeper's hand just stopped what would've been one of the prettiest goals of the season. Puli is on fire at the moment.
