Christian Pulisic From A Honest Footballing Perspective. (An Editorial Analysis By @Josediccus)

Christian Pulisic was the dream signing when he was coming from Borussia Dortmund of course he was expected to come in and try to fill in the boots of Eden Hazard who left for Madrid and also try to make Chelsea forget the fact that they had a transfer ban given to them but it's been more than six games currently for the American and he seems to be struggling for fitness having featured consistently at the beginning of the season the diminutive forward seems to have failed to make a mark and that's the basic reason why manager Frank Lampard prefers Ross Barkley who in my opinion isn't really a quality player, to a new signing who is coming in with all the razmataz and coping with the rigidity that comes with the English Premier League and definitely wasn't the man who played in the preseason and not the man that was dreamt of at Stamford Bridge. I wouldn't really defend Christian Pulisic neither will i criticise him. However here is the reason why I won't criticise him.

The truth is coming for 50 plus million pounds into a team that's suffering a transfer ban to fill an irreplaceable spot left by the Belgian icon Eden Hazard coupled with the fact that the bundesliga isn't really a strenuous or challenging league. Another thing is the fans of Chelsea Football Club are forgetting the fact that Christian pulisic is only 20 years old and when you look at the top European teams you wouldn't see many 20 year olds doing so well except for a few cases, just a few cases and because of this he will need at least two years of full playing time to adapt and bring out the best of which he was purchased in the first place, this may definitely seem impossible seeing the fact that Chelsea needs a standout performer because that is what's they currently lack and it is really unfair to place this Burden on a new signing who is coming into the most competitive league in the world. Looking at all these factors it would be unfair to criticize the young American who's currently struggling to make impact.

However, considering some other aspects, that might make one want to criticize him, Do you know Pulisic was displaced by Jaden Sancho 18, in the Dortmund first team? After cementing a first place when he came to Germany with his dazzling ability to create chances and score impossible goals it was a big surprise to see how he was ordinarily replaced by Jaden who was only coming in from the EPL as a teenager although we might want to reckon with his injuries but injuries or not it is totally preposterous to see you lose your place after cementing it as a top player or is it that there is anything that's the Dortmund coach might have noticed about Christian pulisic that made him fell out of favour? I sure might predict. He doesn't really seem like a hard worker or somebody who is willing to beat the odds and as a player there is a possibility that you will be replaced very quickly by people who are much more hardworking or who are ambitious and it seemed like Christian pulisic doesn't really possess ambitions and you could see this in his body language whenever he is playing at Chelsea.

Without a doubt, he has definitely got argument against him and he has got arguments for him. However i feel he needs to hit the gym, he is too soft on the ball and doesn't really look to possess stamina and this was what happened to Alvaro Morata at Chelsea and cost him a place in the starting team up until he was let out. Frank Lampard in my opinion isn't doing something about the issue because without a doubt the young man possesses the ability to do beyond what he is doing currently at Chelsea and the club knew his capabilities before they signed him. Another thing is that he lacks courage and he seem to forget who he is when facing an opponent and that is why he is always losing the ball so helplessly. An an abysmal performance during the mid week showed how alarming Pulisic's issue is at Stamford Bridge. Lampard might be losing or wasting the man's potential and I believe it is time to take drastic measures to ensure Pulisic it becomes a standout performer in West London.
