"Pulisic deserves to start". - this from Tuchel. What a load of crap! It would be much better if he just said his form is off thus he is not starting. But he won't because he has not given Pulisic a fair shot.

Let's face it priority has always gone to Werner whether it was Lampard or Tuchel.

In fact when played out of position Werner was horrible far worst than Pulisic's play when Pulisic plays out of position - which has been most of the year, under both coaches, by the way.

Where might Pulisic be with form if given the same opportunity to play, in his best position, with equal amount of play. If you gave him Timo's minutes in the position Timo played my bet is he would have been much more productive.

Timo's touch, dribbles, shooting, have been amongst the poorest on the team but they have not waivered getting him in form at the expense of playing others where they fit.

In fact the reason they moved Pulisic around is precisely because he was the better option to add value somewhere else to help the team.

This dribble Chelsea coaches /mgmt give you about competing everyday for minutes is BS - they are not without politics. I saw that with Lampard and now we are seeing it with Tuchel.

By the way, I am not necessarily opposed to it - because as a coach you go with what you think best but call it for what it is please.
