Christian Pulisic - Official

  • Thread starter Thread starter Sindre
  • Start date Start date
Timing is right but I have mixed feelings, even with the injuries and inconsistent performances he still scored a few important goals. Jackson can hopefully step in at LW if Mudryk fails to live up to the hype.

Too injury prone and not physical enough... We saw glimpses but not consistency and never kicked on after the injury.

 
I originally thought I would be wrong about Pulisic, but ultimately, all my worries about him before we signed him turned out to be true. I don't think things will be all that different for him at Milan.

 
I look at Puli; and struggle to see what he is good at:

Average passing

Average finisher 

Average pace

Doesnt take players on when dribbling 

Cant head

doesnt win physical battles

poor fitness 

Am i missing something?? What were the standout traits that made people think he would be half decent?

 
Pulisic was arguably our star in lamp 1st season. He is very good at attacking far post and  final third stuff. 

Could we just use him that way ? In TT system it is not possible.

But he is not as good as sterling at that (attacking far post and getting into final third)

I completely agree with you, Sterling is simply better at almost everything compare to puli. 

I just want to point out that puli is not this terrible player. His injury record is kinda bad though

TBH Jim I feel there isn't much difference in Pulisic and the Sterling we have got now. In terms of finishing I'd probably give the edge to Pulisic though neither are great. That's always been a criticism of Sterling throughout his whole career, needs 4 or 5 chances to convert one. I also feel Pulisic works harder but I fully accept he his too lightweight and injury prone. There were times in games last season where I was watching Sterling and I felt he wasn't giving 100%.

I think the lack of giving their all can be labelled at a lot of players last season. My hope is that Pochettino can weasel these players out. I don’t mind losing and finishing mid table if we know that all on the field have given 100%

He was giving 100%. The problem, and not just for Sterling, was (a) the complete absence of discernible plans and strategies; and (b) the apparently random selection/rotation amongst the forwards. I suspect despair was the common problem.

 
Pulisic is a done deal to AC Milan!

May I take this moment to thank our American Pulisic FC members (it's been a pleasure) that have joined since he arrived and who will now move on, leaving us even more bewildered of just following one player from club to club. This may help you guys out! @USATim has probably already joined!

The guy started not too badly at all but faded quickly, and like other players, not helped by the fact of the takeover and the circus that followed!

....I'm off to Redcafe myself now, Cheers now!

Shame, had high hopes for him, but just too injury prone and really struggle for form last 18 months.

 
What i'm trying to work out is where the hell is he going to play in this Milan team?

He's not displacing Leao and he's even more useless on the right.
