smallsnc got a reaction from Oli in Christian Pulisic - OfficialGlad for Pulisic. As an American, I like CP but agree that under Tuchel he was crap (pretty much the same under Tuchel at Dortmund also by the way). The problem there is that Pulisic is a winger (better on the left than right but can play either) and Tuchel does not play with wingers but wants more AM under the striker. Pulisic can play as a second striker but again not his best position. If he can stay healthy and get some consistent match time on the wing, I think we will see a much better player than what he has shown the last couple of year.
By the way, I think Mount is perfect in the cent of the 3 behind the striker. Not sure if you have the defense for a 4-2-3-1 right now but really think it is a much better fit for all of your attacking options.

smallsnc got a reaction from WhiteWall in Christian Pulisic - OfficialFor those of us Americans wondering why you bring him on in the 60th if he was too injured to start, there are plenty of examples in pro sports all over the US where guys minutes, plays, at bats, etc. are limited because of a knock but they still play part of the game. Difference is in soccer, you don't have the luxury of playing them for 5 minutes at a stretch or using them only as a DH. They are either on the pitch or not. No problems with what Frank did plus, he gets 30+ minutes of match play/fitness without getting overly fatigue which is when reinjury typically happens.
