He's fearless. The fact that a 17 year old had no qualms about running at Otamendi and taking on players in midfield makes my private parts tingly.

They could have taken a shite on the field and that shite would have a better rating than wondo or beckerdreads

I saw a lot of panic on the ball last night. Guys just looking to unload it as soon as they received it and often times just booting it into nowhere and to nobody

I honestly didn't feel that either played particularly well. However, Pulisic played with confidence against a top opponent at 17 which is more important than how he actually played. He clearly isn't strong enough yet but his mentality is much farther along than almost anyone on the squad.

I need to rewatch to get a better POV on these guys but I have zero doubt they were better than Wondo and Dreads.

They didn't play well but it's really not their fault. You can't expect them to do well when you have such a piss poor gameplan and surrounded by players who clearly were outclassed.

It wasn't even a learning experience for them. What did they learn other than their manager is a fool and their teammates can't keep the ball?

There was a play where he got sandwiched between two Argentinians and came away with the ball after getting knocked off balance. He's stronger than he appears. I probably would have fallen down there and expected him to do the same. I was impressed with how he played. Also, Nagbe completed all five of his passes.
