Christian Pulisic needs to leave Chelsea because it's a place where attackers are going to have their talents wasted...
Here's a quick thread sing the 2021/22 season and Liverpool as a comparison group since their attackers thrive in the same league:
Number of times targeted with a pass per 90 minutes:
- Liverpool: All 4 primary attackers were in top 15 in the squad
- Chelsea: 1 attacker in the top 15
Havertz, Chelsea's most used attacker, would be SEVENTEENTH on Liverpool in usage.
Attackers are training dummies at Chelsea
Kante, Alonso, Chillwell, and James all averaged more touches in the final 3rd than Pulisic (& other attackers)
Pulisic averaged 25 touches per match in the attacking 3rd, James averaged 40
16 players on Liverpool's squad had more attacking touches than Pulisic got at Chelsea
At Liverpool, 6 different attackers averaged 3 or more shots per 90 minutes. At Chelsea, only 2 (Havertz and Werner).
12 players in Liverpool's squad averaged more goal attempts than Pulisic did at Chelsea.
Christian Pulisic (and most other attackers in the modern game) is at his best when he's allowed to get on the ball in space and playing at a tempo that is conducive to putting attackers in spots to.. you know.. attack
That's not Chelsea and it won't be.
IT DOES NOT MATTER how often he gets on the field at Chelsea. Anyone that gets on the field for Chelsea is a training dummy for overlapping full-backs and Tuchel-ball.
His time there is up, imo
