and you have to wonder if there are other teams in Europe that they could be playing for where they would get more minutes.
his dad should not have made that tweet, it probably upset Christian. None of these commentators are wrong, I think the last guy made the point though. Chelsea have a lot of similar players in their attack and christian doesn't really set himself apart, but neither do any of the others. I look at the role that Mason Mount is playing and I think that Christian and even some of the others on that squad offer more that he does, but I've always thought that. For me Chelsea are an elite club because they have a lot of interchangeable parts and they can swap the lineup every match and have a chance to win against any opponent. If Christian wants to feature every time out he needs to go to another club, but even that doesn't prevent this from happening there. I would love to see christian running at opponents along side Harry Kane and H.M.Son, I've always thought that would be a natural fit for him.
The tweet by his Dad kind of surprised me as I know Mark to some extent, at least enough to know what kind of person he is and he was usually straight business and you need to earn your time on the pitch type of guy and coach. I'm sure he is quite proud of his son which may explain the tweet.
I can't fault him, it wasn't the right decision, but it must be hard for him to watch at times. I also wonder why Pulisic hasn't played more. He has been one of their shining stars, especially in the bigger matches. He just hasn't been given any type of stability and I think that has something to do with his up and down play. I also think it has to do with his durability and the vast amount of big money players at the club. the manager must feel compelled to spread the wealth and try to manage minutes. Other players at the club have clearly voiced their frustration if not verbally, also through their body language. I don't think he should stay there. Chelsea are typically ruthless when it comes to buying new players each season. then again I don't know how their ownership situation will be, so they may be looking to sell players.
Yeah, he would have started.. very tough blow. Perhaps John Brooks makes another team now.
Unless Brooks game has picked up substantially, he's not the answer to fill Robinson's position. When he last played for the team he looked downright bad.
The last time I can remember seeing him play was the concacaf champions league final.
It's been a while since he played on the national team and I was not impressed with his performance. I liked the ********* of the two Robinsons and Zimmerman and the fourth is kind of up in the air for me although I lean toward Dest.

Sweet shooting touch for such a young player. Seems to read the GK well. Shows some nice passing skills. Appears to have good field awareness.Bayern Munich youngster Malik Tillman to play for the USA
Bayern Munich's Germany U21 international Malik Tillman has switched his international allegiance to the USA, the country of his father's birth.
Bayern Munich's Germany U21 international Malik Tillman has switched his international allegiance to the USA, the country of his father's birth.
Born in Nuremberg to a German mother and American father, Tillman joined Bayern's youth academy from Greuther Fürth at the age of 13 in 2005, at the same time as elder brother Timothy.
The attacking midfielder subsequently turned out for the USA at U15 level but has represented Germany at every age group up to U21 since, scoring five times in 19 youth caps.
But now he has pledged his international future to the United States, with the hope of turning out for the USMNT at the United 2026 FIFA World Cup.

This is supposed to be a great get for the US but I honestly haven't seen him play other than Youtube vids.
Some names missing, where is Dest? How do you keep Long and leave Dest off? Glad to see no Pepi. Not happy about Steffen or Morris. Also no Brooks which is good. Wonder what the prognosis is for Miles Robinson? I rather have him give for 20-25 minutes than not have him at all. Looking at this roster it seems to me that the strength of this team is the midfield right now.

Good to see some "newish" names included. I am glad Mihailovic is getting a chance again, he is playing really well right now. Love seeing Scally & Wright finally on the roster and of course our newest dual national in Tillman.
Steffen worries me. I have this sinking feeling he will be the #1 goaltender in the WC. I prefer Turner but his not getting playing time is almost as bad.
I'm not really worried about our Goal Keepers. Any one of those 3 will be fine, I think that by the time the WC gets here berhalter needs to let those guys know what the pecking order is because that is what I think could bother them, the uncertainty and pressure could force them out of their game (the need to do too much). I think in the top European leagues there is pressure on all of the GoalKeepers to play out of the back because that is how the game is played now. that means mistakes will happen and Steffen is probably trying too hard in the very few chances that he gets to play at City. Horvath will have an advantage if he is playing more in England and does well.
