USMNT New Era
- Thread starter TU_BLA
- Start date
Pulisic hasn't done squat for Milan lately, including missing a PK today in a loss. This team pretty much sucks and it's doubtful they make next season's Ch Lg. Maybe Pulisic should continue his contract negotiations until the summer window to see who's sold & brought in. Another new coach might also be in the cards.
Sarge gets another brace this morning and is closing in on the Golden Boot in the EFL. His 11 goals (& 6 assists) after only 20 matches ( Match Day today is #34) puts him 4 goals from the top.
"I think he is the player we expected, even better probably"; "......has been a major part of the team". These words from the Bournemouth coach which blew a chance for moving into 4th place today in the Prem. Tyler Adams is back to his own superb self.

I watched Milan today and Leao was considerably worse than Pulisic. Invisible. GK also made a terrible clearance resulting in an own goal. They are a disjointed mess.
Pulisic is still their second most productive player after Reijnders.
Milan's GK may be the worst starting GK on a top club in the world. He's just dreadful to watch, makes terrible decisions with the ball at his feet. Seriously, if a Milan defender makes a mistake in the back it is almost certainly going to turn into a goal.
Watch out for two new names in the pool maybe upcoming rosters.
Damion Downs and Noahkai Banks. Both 6’4” big bodies. Can fly. Interesting challenges posed by both very young players.
Downs a forward who could be a difference maker.

Milan is 2-0 down in the 70th minute today when a lucky deflection brings them 1 goal back. Pulisic then takes over by drawing a PK and converting. Five minutes later he gets a pretty cross from Leao for a 2nd and a 3-2 Milan lead and the victory. Had Milan lost, there was no doubt that their coach would be sacked. It will still likely happen but he can thank CP for 1 or 2 more paychecks. Pulisic now has 15 in all comps and several games to go to surpass last year's total. His 2-month scoring slump is officially over.
Sarge scored yesterday but a tie didn't help their chances much of making that 4-team playoff for promo to the Prem. Still, he's moving up the EFL scoring charts for the Golden Boot after only 21 games played.

And Haji Wright is back from injury in a big way! Scored off the bench the other day and gets his hat-trick today. Is he called up? I don't think so. Coventry City has won 10 of 12 lately & in 5th place in the EFL. Wright might end up in the Prem if this continues. Sarge scored on Friday but his team lost.
Wright wasn't called in for the Nations League games this window and his injury status had a lot to do with it. Augeyang (Charlotte) was called in, Carrot Top was called in. Balogun was not. I feel like there was another MLS striker called in as well. For the most part is the usual suspects called in along with a couple of the MLS guys who played well in the last window (Luna got called in).
They have Gold Cup and Club World Cup this summer too. So that in part drove who was called in for this camp. Some teamsw won’t release for both this and the Gold Cup. And you don’t want guys playing two full seasons with no rest … then the World Cup next summer.
Wright and some of the guys on this list should make the Gold Cup roster if healthy while CP, McKinnie Reyna and a couple of other guys are out playing the Club World Cup this summer. So you get them in camp to learn the routine now. Very MLS heavy. Groan.

What a freaking craptastic performance. Pulisic was pretty much non-existent until the last 10 minutes. Sargent wasn't great. Musah played well. Joe Scally played well. Adams was fantastic as usual and everyone else was a blend of meh. Stupid thing is the US completely dominated this game and had 1 big error and that's all that was needed. Play with a little more urgency in the 1st half and they might have pushed a goal or two in. They didn't play with any urgency until the last 10 minutes and some stoppage time.
Granted it was a partially depleted squad, but when hasn’t it been?
US soccer needs to stop saying this was a shocker and look in the mirror. When was the last time we didn’t lose to Panama?
The team clearly has adopted the English philosophy of why get injured for country and $10,000 with millions on the line at the club level. Yes, I know about the insurance.
They say Reyna didn’t play because of the Richards injury and they were waiting until overtime to begin before the sub. But that just tells me Poncho was playing not to lose, the defense was soft and Turner, who should’nt be playing because he hasn’t been playing, clearly made a glaring error. Not a howler. This was preventable because he was rusty and they knew it.
5 more windows until the Cup and we don’t even know if we have a spine or whether CP will be playing in his natural position.
Barf.
