A little off topic but just want to vent.  US has some of the best fans but also quite frankly some of the worst.

Compare discussion here with discussion on a USMNT page.  

Here we all guess at the lineup Tuchel will select and when Tuchel selects a different lineup no one gets mad, they mostly just assume Tuchel knows more about managing a soccer team then they do and let it go win, lose or draw.

Greg Berhalter selects a lineup and half the fans are mad that he didn't go with their preferred lineup and they will call him an idiot for it and even when the US wins it isn't good enough because we are supposedly winning in spite of him.  In fact they used Tuchel's comments about hoping Berhalter doesn't play Pulisic for 90 minutes as evidence that Tuchel thinks he is an idiot.

I am not saying Berhalter is what Tuchel is but in the last year the US beat Mexico for the Nation's league, beat them for the Gold Cup with their B team, and now beat them in qualifying and are sitting in first place there.  I didn't like him at first but he is getting results.  Yet I know come Tuesday, GB will be called an idiot for whatever lineup he chooses.

Dude plays MLS guys (Ariola, Llegett,  Roldan)because the league mandates it. That's why Americans get pissed. You see what happens when he plays a mostly European - based US team. Better results and the team looked awesome. Gee...

Time to let Pulisic go, either on loan or a deal. Neither TT nor the fans rate him as a first XI guy, and all the other wingers are producing: CHO, Mount, Ziyech, with both Havertz and Werner able to play that position as well. Dealing or loaning  Pulisic is a win-win. Apparently Barca is interested in a loan, and other clubs are sniffing around as well. He’s made a glass, right? He can’t stay healthy, right? This seems like a no brainer.

Love to see that. Go someplace where he can start, not ride the pine.

I rate him very highly actually, much higher than I did when we first signed him. I rate him higher than all of the wingers in our team at his best, it's just that getting the best out of him is hard because of his injuries.

Some rumours that Tuchel has authorised selling Pulisic in January. It’s probably nonsense as I don’t see anyone paying a large fee for him.

Bunch of rumors that Barca wants him but on a loan deal.  

Rumors also say they want to loan out CHO and Ziyech.  Hard to believe they would loan out all 3 though.

We need to sign more wing backs - someone has to score the goals!

There were also rumors that Chelsea was looking into Serigno Dest from Barca who would probably fit perfectly at Wingback since he's an attack minded right back at Barca.  

CP on the bench in Kingston, let's hope the Jamaicans treat him kinder.

Aye Come on Jamaica! 

Not sure if CP came on or not as seems hard to find mention of him for the game.

Report does say Jamaica were robbed of a late winner for a none foul. Lucky for them.

Came on in the 66th min apparently. No mention after that. 

I did watch the game. We were pretty bad against Jamaica.

Good thing is Pulisic left these games uninjured. Look forward to seeing him on the field for Chelsea.

Think at best he is "riding the pine" on Saturday based on his lack of match fitness and having to travel back.

I would expect the same. 

Pulisic as a false 7 or flickering 8 or dummy 10 scored just minutes after his return.

As long as he play and scored..... 😂

 

 

Wonderful movement and goal. Supersub today

Interesting to note that in just 116 minutes played this season, Christian Pulisic has more goals than Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner combined, is tied with Kai Havertz, and is just one behind Mason Mount and Romelu Lukaku.

Aye just imagine how many he would have if he stopped getting injured all the time.
