was listening to Counter Attack and they were interviewing one of their EPL correspondents. he said there is rumblings inside that Lampard doesn't like the effort Pulisic puts in at training. that's not good.

Maybe that's punishment for publicly saying he's frustrated. I would give my player and absolute earful about that.

Pulisic will outlast Lampard, IMO. I am not particularly impressed. I think he is very lucky that the set of young fan favorites have been the ones in the headlines so far, eventually the story will turn to why the team is giving up so many goals.

Or Pulisic is just not good enough.

If you aren't getting playing time, the last thing you do is complain about it in public. He should know that.

I could see Pulisic outlasting him but I don't think he's on a short rope at all. He's going to get time due to the transfer ban.

Once they can purchase players that defense will probably change dramatically.

I read an article that they have certain restrictions on the amount of homegrown players that must be on the roster and various other things. Lampard is foolish IF he is doing this strictly as a punishment to Pulisic. These are professionals, he was paid lots of money to come here and make a difference. He was asked how he felt about not playing and he said he was frustrated and would have to just keep working hard in training to prove himself. Lampard played the game, he should know this

So disappointing.

Hopefully he does what it takes to get playing time.

I think the ridiculous part that makes Lampard look bad is that he isn't even playing Pulisic in the cup games. If you're trying to help your young player adjust to a new league, the EFL Cup match last week would have been perfect to help the player get some confidence and start to perform. This looks like he is simply freezing the player out.

Pretty sure Pulisic started against Grimsby Town.

Whether Lampard is justified or not is open for debate. What's undeniably true is that the US' best player has no clear path to regular football for the foreseeable future. I think it's safe to say that Pulisic won't get a start in a meaningful game for quite a long time unless there is an injury or three.

I bet Pulisic starts in a game withing the next 4 in the league.

well, as i mentioned above, the word is Lampard doesn't think he trains hard enough.

I've said it once and I'll say it again: Pulisic is 100% done at Chelsea.

Why? What makes you draw that conclusion?
Gut? Inside knowledge? Where'd you read it?

Overreaction is what spurned that comment. It's way to early to say he's done.

He's playing for a manager who didn't buy him and who doesn't rate him. He has four wingers ahead of him. The writing is on the wall.

worst thing about Chelsea is that they don't sell a lot of players. they just loan them out. there's a very good chance this Chelsea move is a long term hindrance to his career.

In off of the substitutes bench in 80th minute of a 3-1 away drubbing of Southampton.

And a beautiful assist in the 88th minute

Anyone else have MC and Wolf where it says it should be Chelsea?

Yea thought they might flip it over to Chelsea when he came on but the wolves scored right before he came on and made this a game.

So weird. It was MC from the beginning of the game but the guide says Arsenal.

Should I be angry?
