US dropped him to the bench for tonights game vs Honduras. Their coach said beforehand he was looking for more end product after the loss at Canada, and looks like the finger of blame is being pointed at CP.

Pulisic is of an age and at a career turning point. 

He's woefully out of form and he either uses this season as a learning curve, gets his head down and turns it around and delivers on the potential he previously showed. 

Or. He joins the long list of young players who showed so much promise but by their early twenties never quite manage to take their game that next step. 

What a relief. He's now back to being Pele, Messi and Ronaldo all rolled into one !

Fair play to all the players in that game ... minus 16 degrees centigrade  !!! The work rate must have been off the charts in an effort to keep warm !

It was shameful for the US Soccer Fed to pick such a cold climate for the game. There were tons of other sites/locations where this game could have played.

The conditions were not safe for the players, fans, or anyone involved. I believe the Honduras goalkeeper had to receive IV treatment during halftime break because he went into hypothermia. 

Dangerous for the players? Well maybe Honduras players. Dangerous for the fans? Nah. We deal with these polar temps routinely in the winter and can handle it.

Traveling fans?

I don't believe any of the US players live or play in these conditions on a weekly basis. 

The first American to win the Champions League, Super Cup and now Club World Cup

I guess he needs to win the League and FA Cup next 

😅

Had a very good game when he came on, imo.

No next he will hopefully help us to win the league cup. After that let's see where we go.

Mason is down injured, one less player that we can use. When he gets the chance he needs to grab is with both hands and bring back that form from 2 years ago. 

He does not have Giroud to help him, now is on him. Time to be a star.

Jesus, talk about hyperbole. I was at the game and it was not that bad.

When I won a bronze medal in the end-of-week slalom competition for my starter skiing class (of 6), I did not feel the need to bite it. And it was a big medal, I can assure you 

Really really bad today. He's really weak and crumbles under and kind of contact. Being weak shouldn't be an issue though, he's not the only weak player in the league. If he doesn't want to get involved in the physical battle, then he needs to release the ball quicker, make clever movements, pass better. He was bullied today and he needs to stay away from that kind of thing.

super anonymous today. The player from 2 years ago is missing

I'm more and more convinced he should be moved on. Except for a good spell here and there, he's not working out for us. He's clearly a very good player, he'll probably blossom somewhere else.

Exchange with Martinelli? Pulisic would probably like to play in the PL still and since he's all about the freedom he would like to have a big gun on his shirt.

When Lukaku leaves, we should hide Pulisic in his hand luggage ...

I think Pulisic can hide himself in there. We should give up football and enter the hide & seek championship instead. 

Not cutting it is he...

He's physically weak, he gives the ball away cheaply or literally runs into traffic with the ball instead of running into the spaces or laying the ball off.

A very frustrating player, we need better from him or more likely better than him.

We sure it was actually him and not @USATim sneaking on in a Pulisic kit? What a rotten display.

Very poor today, admittedly. Hard to see if get another start after this.

He's just took weak to play in the middle, could be useful up front with his speed and a nose for goal.

I have never seen him so hesitant and indecisive for such long stretches of games. He has always been a very direct type of player, take the ball and drive straight at goal. 

I am more convinced that something just doesn't sit right with him mentally in on the pitch. Whatever it is, I hope he figured it out and make it right because he seems to be getting worse and worse.

The whole world know that Pulisic can only play lw. But for some reason we have puli in the middle and Havertz out wide. 

Pulisic does go down easily but he got fouled after running on the counter and the ref never gave a yellow, the ref wasn't really fair in that sense. Salah gets the play stopped, looks at the ref a bit and you know the second time he falls it's a yellow.

Why do we stick him in the middle when everyone knows he can only play LW.. it really baffles me .. because I have never seen him prosper in an AM role or a RW role…. Especially when we know with Sarr and AC unlikely to provide any width.

I don't understand this. Pulisic losing the ball or being bullied physically is like saying water is wet. 

He can only play lw high a bit narrow, but for some reasonn I have never seen him there under Tuchel. Instead we have Havertz as lw 😱😱

Sometimes TT overcoaches the tactics of this team.. it’s like he gets bored unless he tinkers a bit.
