I'm glad Leeds is smoking Chelsea. American manager, two American internationals starting and one scoring a goal. Meanwhile, here's Tuchel sending in CP for his usual 15 minutes of work.

Where do they have Pulisic playing?
Are we actually going to see a Loftus Cheek and Mount central midfield here now???
Boom! 3-0!
Not watching atm, but probably lwb/LM with cucarella back to LCB with this personnel is all I can guess. Very attacking and desperate team, IMO.Ken Scarborough said:

Well Werder scored 3 in 7 minutes yesterday so there's always a chance.
Although judging by the Harrison goal highlight hes playing on the right in an attacking spot.
He substituted for Gallagher. Not sure which side he was on.
I'm not a soccer expert by any means, but he's playing Central in the 8 or 10. I can't tell.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
I'm just interested to see if the lanky German throws another fit this week during the manager handshake.

I wonder if he makes eye contact.

No hand shake. I cheap slap but Jesse was walking away.
It was an awkward and extended handshake. I wonder how Tuchel feels about that.
It's hard to dislike Leeds and Marsch. I'm happy for their fans and wanna go to a game there and see this squad
Marsch is fired up. Love it! Next USMNT manager?

Barcelona and Chelsea have reportedly agreed on deal for Aubameyang.
If that's true, then Pulisic has to move. He just got knocked down another rung for playing time.JJxvi said:

Great. Another striker TT can watch fail.
Interested what PEA will do to the lineup for yall. PEA is more of the winger style strikers as opposed to link up true number 9. I'm sure he will score goals; just not sure how well he will fit into the team. Sterling and him don't seem like a good pairing but could be wrong.
Hopefully this frees up Pullisic to move to another club.

Depends, can he play wingback?texagbeliever said:

Playing wingers as wingbacks is so last year, man, Now we're all about playing wingbacks as center backs and holding midfielders as wingbacks.PatAg said:Depends, can he play wingback?texagbeliever said:

Damn, Tuchel just trying to bury Pulisic now.
🚨 Chelsea reportedly willing to pay over $70 million for Everton winger Anthony Gordon.

I just don't understand:
1. Seeing Pulisics stats (which aren't mind blowing but are better than Havertz or Werners were)
2. Seeing what it looks like for Leeds to have a dynamo/creative player on the field in Aaronson
3. Seeing how little our attacking mid-field and Havertz have done
And then continuing to bury Pulisic. It's insane. Havertz does not appear to be the answer. Give Pulisic some more minutes and see what he can do.

Gordon makes no sense to me, unless Tuchel is actually going play some with a true back 4 (which i guess he's almost sort done in the past couple games). If that happens its probably good for Pulisic because it probably comes with 4 nominally attacking positions in the front of the formation rather than the current only 3 with attacking load borne by the wingbacks.
On the bright side, Gallagher cant play for the next 150 minutes
3 points. Change to back 4 did fully arrive but extra attacking spot inexplicably went to ****ing Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Tuchel tried out Galagher as a defensive mid again to spectacularly disastrous results. I dont get it.
Yes. Gallagher drove me nuts last week and this week. Young and energetic but makes too many bad passes.
Good 3 pts being down a man for most the match.

So nice to have Sterling. He has that extra touch of skill to make things happen out of nothing a la Hazard. Really excited to see him this season.
Another match, another non-start for Pulisic. I was hoping being a Tuesday match he might switch some things up. Ziyech is in but still no Pulisic.
I assume this is a back 4 with Azpilicueta playing fullback and a central midfield pairing of Jorginho/Loftus-Cheek rather than a 5 with Loftus-Cheek playing wing back and Mount playing in central midfield?
4 attacking players (that arent wing backs) finally makes sense. Ziyech being the player suddenly in the team is ****ing annoying.

Maybe a straight up 4-3-3 with Mount in a midfield role.
We've been playing 4-2-2-2 in attack pretty much every game, even when we nominally had 5 in the back so I would assume that's what it is. It's hard to guess who the attacking midfielders (vs the strikers) are with this personnel and the fact that he used Loftus-Cheek as a attacking midfielder in the last game.
Thank goodness someone on the team (Sterling) is able to actually get enough chances to eventually score, even if he looks like he doesn't even want to shoot.
Lol, might want to refresh how to defend a corner, boss.
