Hyndman came in in the 89 and played 30 mins
Zelalem enters in 83rd
CP22 got taken off at half, assuming because he went 90 twice in the last week and not cuz of his play
Probably a little of both. I was switching channels back and forth watching Pulisic and Bobby Wood and unfortunately both had pedestrian games today. Pulisic didn’t play badly, just that he hardly got any action; all the play seemed to be coming from the other wing.
frankly, the first half of his last game was underwhelming as well–very much a case of “not bad, just forgettable”. to his credit, he turned it around in the second half, but if today’s game was anything like the last, i wouldn’t be surprised if he got pulled for performance reasons.
He actually played quite well. Getting past his man on the side line, drawing fouls, and earning a corner. Running by people a couple times even though it was clear he looked a bit drained; he went to the ground a couple times where I thought he would’ve normally stayed up.
He was getting a little bit frustrated at some of the perceived non-calls.
That said he was still tracking back and looking dangerous going forward, and had he stayed in I’m pretty sure he would’ve been involved in a goal or two.
I think him getting subbed at half was part of the plan going into this game.
YEDLIN with a pretty assist.
christian, bobby, and timmy starting in bundesliga; morales on bench.
lichaj and yedlin starting in england; hyndman and zelalem on bench; no danny williams.
I’m interested in the games tomorrow too. I think we may see Cameron Carter-Vickers and Julian Green in action. These busy midweek fixture games are perfect to get a sense of where our younger players are in the pecking order. Hopefully a few more of them start to see more time.
Also, Pulisic is so fun to watch!
