Pulisic worked hard to win and, maintain, and distribute the ball at the defensive end, then sprinted to the top of the box and his touch deserted him.
Had a couple of better plays right after I typed that. Looks like there's a game plan to have him roam a bit more freely.
They need nothing. A draw vs Brugge or a win in either of the last two games would be enough, and they may not even need that.
Even losing 2-0 is probably enough to top the group, after the 4-0 and so far they don't slip against the other two (Monaco is a shambles and Brugge is not at the same level, though).
I don't think they've been poor. They're losing by a single goal, away, to one of the Top 5 teams in the planet.
Gotze on for Alcacer, who barely saw the ball. The world is saved from disaster as the sub is delayed while Gotze can put yellow tape over his white ankle tape so that he looks prettier.
