Christian Pulisic could be the perfect successor to Mohamed Salah at Liverpool, Jonathan Spector has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Revealing that Pulisic has always been a nightmare for opposition defences, Jonathan revealed that the American international is capable of thriving under pressure at Anfield, just like Salah.
Spector added that the former Chelsea midfielder is no stranger to embracing responsibility for club and country.
His words, “I see that as well, I think in that sort of, I don’t know if counterattacking style is the right way of putting it because that’s not just what Liverpool is, but certainly when you see them go forward, they go at pace, and that is something that he does extremely well.
He’s confident, he’s running at players. As a defender, it’s a nightmare. It’s worst-case scenario, when you have a player who is dynamic, and he’s quick, shifty. That’s the worst, last thing you want as a defender.
He didn’t produce to the level that the expectations were at Chelsea.
At a club like Chelsea, you have to. You could name a number of players, whether it’s at Chelsea, Man United, Man City, who just didn’t quite produce or didn’t match the expectations. Those clubs have the ability to move on from players that are just not the right fit.
For me, so much of it is about having the right fit at the right time, and that is the biggest question mark in all of this. You know, anyone who knows the game can pick a good player, anyone who is a casual fan can pick out a good player, but it’s determining whether or not that player is going to be the right fit at the right time, and that’s the really difficult piece of this.
For me, Pulisic just wasn’t the right fit at the right time at Chelsea. I think that’s why he struggled and I don’t know if that style of play suits him particularly well.”
