Pulisic has been pretty shit at set pieces his entire career. Aaronson splits them with Jack Harrison at Leeds and his corners are generally pretty dangerous.
Our crossing was terrible yesterday. It wouldnt have mattered if we had 6 Keifer Moore's for the US, none of them were anywhere near a dangerous area.
Pulisic was gassed by halftime. Constantly getting swiped at and literally every attack was directed right to him. It's not like he went out of his way, he was literally the only outlet pass because Weah hugged the other line. If Gio couldn't spell him for 1/2 hour in game 1 then we should have kept him at home wrapped in bubble wrap.
Also, I don't get Serginho Dest? Every team in Europe wants him, but he always looks terrible. He offered nothing on defense and nothing going forward.
I assume we'll bunker on Friday and try to use Haji Wright as a target man, because if you go against 2 Easter island statues you might as well play to their strengths. If we could just get 1 game with a front 4 of Pulisic, Reyna, Weah and Aaronson to see what happens.
