[Warum.]

I think Pulisic will continue his form. He loves Milan

[austinhoffman]

“Without any makeup on” is the biggest lie I’ve ever heard

[kevinumber]

Frank is a cool dude! Highly respected player. Puli justs needs to embrace being a star, . Already one in US but ok. I would say any club in the world would want his talent. Pioli was great. Now its time to be great.

Pulisic could score 100 goals and 200 assists and these people would always say "we need to see him more consistent"... it's a joke at this point. EVERY SINGLE TIME he has been given consistent minutes he produces at an extremely high rate. At Chelsea he was only ever given good starting minutes for 1 season and he became known as "lockdown Pulisic", in the World Cup he was top 3 in the stats at left wing for the entire tournament, and now at Milan he had an international coach who believed in him for the first time in his career and he had an outstanding season.

Like I said, EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. The kid is a superstar, people saying otherwise aren't familiar with his career.

so at 6-3 you are still not winning lol

I'll take the only 4 words from Jules that mean anything - "he's on his way".

We know espn doesn't cover Serie A, it's on Paramount. But hey, they don't have the prem either. Thats on NBC in the US, but that doesn't stop these guys from spending 80% or more of air time talking about it. So it's never a surprise when, say Frank, oozes out that the the prem is the better league. But if that's the case, why do Serie A have 5 Champions league spots next year to the prem's 4 😉?

The truth is that Puli has *always* been better than these guys give him credit for. But superstar? He's on his way.

Biggest story currently ongoing in English football with 115 FC taking the league to court, and all ESPN FC can talk about is their meaningless top 100 rankings, a tournament no one understands, Mbappe and Zidane looking for a new job.

If this was any other club, 30min would have been spent with dire analysis on why they are pathetic for taking the league to court. Come on guys, journalism can't be this diluted.

What Pulisic does not have is Mason Mount, who poisoned the Chelsea dressing room and pitch.

1:30 Pat McAfee is also an American (gridiron) football player

Christian Pulisic is a good player, but I don’t think that he’s world class just yet. He’s had a great debut season at AC Milan and he was absolutely brilliant last season with 15 goals and 10 assists in all competitions after struggling for injuries and game time at Chelsea, but after one elite season, that doesn’t make you a world class player as you have to prove yourself for a longer period of time. One season is just a short sample.

The thing with Pulisic is that there’s a difference between being a good player and a consistent player. He showed very good promise when he was at Borussia Dortmund which is a fair assessment on him and while his debut season at Chelsea was very good, after that and becoming the first American player to win the Champions League, his career stalled there. You can argue that his move to Chelsea came too soon as they saw him as a long term replacement for Eden Hazard. He was unable to stay healthy on a consistent basis and even when he was fit he didn’t play a lot as different managers didn’t trust him and this affected his confidence and form. While some of it you can blame on the player the managers on the club but the reality is that Chelsea have had little to no success when it comes to developing attackers. Last summer, he made the best decision of his career in going to AC Milan and the gamble that he made paid off because in terms of goals and assists combined with his performances it was the most productive season of his career because he was a key player in a team that had an inconsistent season and for the most part, he has had continuity and has actually been able to stay fit and this makes Chelsea a mockery with the amount of injuries they’ve had because he went from injury prone to injury free on a different club. Now that he’s at the right club with Serie A seen as the right environment for him to thrive, hopefully he can build on this excellent season and realize his full potential.
