Most certainly missed him and his ability to beat a player but keep it close to him so he can actually play a good ball in. Miss his guile to break teams down a bit.
I think his absence has harmed him to be honest.
For me this was likely to be an adjustment season for Pulisic with the main goal for him to learn how to deal with the unique physical side of the PL. Missing so much game time is costing him that experience.
He looks a real talent, but i am a little uncertain of how mentally tough he is and if he believes in himself enough. But, I think he could become a brilliant player in a couple of season from now and we have missed him for sure
We've missed him, but he's still adjusting to the PL and he's still young. That we're missing him just shows how much we're lacking proven goalscorers in this squad.
I'm all for giving the club the benefit of the doubt in not spending this January but they better be very well prepared to have an excellent transfer window this summer. Getting business done early and bringing in high quality players in key positions - especially more goalscorers.
There can be no excuses from the club for not getting this right.
I said the same about Tammy two years ago... A little bit lightweight which is what Pulisic is currently
He's quick and tricky and we're missing that
I like him. Besides the obvious marketing reasons, it's easy to see why we identified him as a Hazard replacement. They share a love of coming very deep (sometimes too deep) to get on the ball and dribble with it.
Got no worries about his mentality, if you can deal with being America's poster boy at a time when "soccer" is growing rapidly in their sporting culture, playing for a club like us comes with the territory. CHO's the one I'm not convinced by mentally at this stage.
'Do you think his absence has harmed our results?'
No.
Was starting to see a sharp downturn in form from Pulisic.
Contributing factors being fatigue & playing through the pain barrier.
Much needed recovery break, without any premature comeback.
I have no worries as regards Puli,over the next few years Puli,CHO,Tammy, RJ, RLC,
MM and maybe, just maybe AC and Kepa will all mature into top class players !
Just be patient .
Realistically could have Pulisic, Callum, Sancho and the return of this one...

On the books next season.
€15m buyback clause, already in discussions with his current club (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7965931/Sassuolo-president-admits-Chelsea-buy-Jeremie-Boga-summer.html)
Replacements for Pedro & Willian.
Watch out for that one.
