Chelsea 1-1 Leicester City: 5 Men who were poor for the Blues

#3 Christian Pulisic

Christian Pulisic struggled to have an impact against Leicester City

The departure of Eden Hazard has opened up a vacuum at Chelsea and quite a few players are vying for the Belgian's position in the team. One of the players who was brought in to take over the mantle from Hazard is Christian Pulisic. Frank Lampard had allotted the American quite a bit of freedom in attack against Leicester City, however, Pulisic failed to grab the opportunity on the night.

During the opening stages of the game, the American was impressive as Lampard’s team implemented a high press that unsettled the away side. Pulisic even took up decent positions in the final third but was guilty of holding on to the ball for too long. As the game progressed, the American drifted away to the point where he was largely ineffective.

When Leicester City took the game to Chelsea, the home side tried to defend as a unit. This required every player to press and close down the opposition. Pulisic looked very uncomfortable without the ball and ultimately had to be replaced in the second half.
