There is no position where Pulisic can be any kind of asset to Chelsea football club.

Sad, but true.

However, the same can be said for many of the attackers/forwards on the roster.

You took my quote out of context. That is ok - today is an indictment of Tuchel, not Pulisic.  You can hate Pulisic all you want. You can hate Boehly all you want. Your vitriol  toward both does nothing except show your disdain towards Americans. The fact you cannot hide, no matter how hard you try, is that Tuchel was sacked for his offensive deficiencies and boring, gutless soccer. You cite Pulisic; I counter with Mount. Both have been pathetic under little Tommy T this season. He is gone now - and you can keep running your mouth. But Americans who follow Chelsea couldn't be happier.

I agree. He was always on the bench or starting when he should have been in the stands!

LOL I got to admit, I do sometimes enjoy your hit back

The hate on Pulisic around here is just brutal. Just send the guy on his way, and be done with it.

Agreed. But they didn't. And now we all have to live with it. So, let's hold hands, sing Kum-bah-ya, and cheer the Graham Potter era on!

On that basis Bettenelli should be playing.

Marsch isn't ready for Chelsea. Chelsea could use Aaronson though - big time. American fans will push to get Marsch to take over the national team heading into the 26 WC, especially if we struggle in November. He will be the natural successor to Berhalter.

Managing Leeds in the Championship is more prestigious than managing the USMNT - Marsch won't go anywhere near that job

Yes. Gutless soccer. From Chelski to gutless soccer.

When the biggest and most powerful country in the world wants someone, things can happen. WC here in 26. We have the youngest squad in the world - lots of reasons it could happen. Plus, what's the average lifespan of a coach in the Premier League? Look at Tuchel - you guys thought he was God's gift to soccer. Didn't even last four years.

I'm less concerned about Pulisics lack of ability to get on the end of a through ball than I am of his lack of ability to actually play one!

As per premier leagues official stats he's played 7 through balls in his 3 and a bit seasons here.  7.  f**king 7.

Mark Pulisic has endorsed more tweets slandering the rest of our attacking options than his Son has played through balls since he signed for the club.

Player furthest up the pitch doesn't play through ball, shock horror. Pulisic is crap but you're reaching at straws here.

Sour grapes. Tuchel out. Chelsea attackers rejoicing, as we type this. Backwards ball - over!  Looking forward to new Chelsea attack! Cannot wait!

Pulisic still won't be featuring in that lmao

He's a winger not a striker, plenty of wingers particularly those that come inside like Pulisic does regularly play through balls.

But you're forgetting Pulisic has played 100% of his games for us at Right Wing back.

@USATim tells me the reason Pulisic has never been able to buy a goal or an assist his entire career is because Tuchel was playing him out of position.

The perfect opportunity to play some through balls!

Pulisic turns 24 today.

I hope he doesn't look at the twitter comments on the club wishing him a happy birthday.  Not exactly the best of wishes.

He's played 250 career club games at Elite clubs before turning 24 which is an incredible achievement that puts him alongside prodigies like Fabregas and Rooney.

It's even more incredible given he's only played well in about 12 of those games.

Can't think of any other player that's taken up a squad spot at top clubs for so long while consistently offering so little.

Possibly. Or as other outlets have surmised Boehly wanted to sign Ronaldo and TT wouldn't engage in giving adequate reasons why not.

He presumably thought it didn't require explanation as it wouldn't to any other fans

Harry Kewell or Landon Donovan.

Who Australian/American fans worshipped as the Messiah

While in reality it was Tim Cahill and Clint Dempsey who made the biggest waves in the best league at the time.

Tim Cahill was eceptional for a while, recall our own Tony Dorigo did well too.
