A man more at home in a wide attacking berth would probably agree with that, but Pulisic has been doing his bit for the collective cause of late after being moved into striking and defensive berths rather than his typical winger role by Blues boss Thomas Tuchel. I know them better than I did seven or eight games ago and now it's about continuing to build on what we showed, especially against Crystal Palace.
