[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ he's young and the on-field numbers are already there, he boasts better stats than Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi produced at his age. By Matchday 4, when he was still 18, he had played 60 games for Dortmund, more than Ronaldo or Messi had managed at that age. The youngest non-German player to chalk up 50 Bundesliga appearances, he has already scored ten goals in an impressive 75 games across all competitions for Die Schwarzgelben. Attempting 291 dribbles and managing a 76.2% successful pass rate in Germany’s top division offers , numbers many players with far more experience could only dream of.

But, the bloom is off the rose.  In typical American fashion, everyone is ready to sh*t on him.[/quote]

Apples to Oranges. Ronaldo and Messi competed in Manchester United and Barcelona at the teams' peak era at 19.[/quote]

Exactly, different level and no one is looking to sh*t on him.  We shouldn't make him out to be the greatest thing ever, yet.  Not only that but Pulisic should be the standard that the U.S. should be putting out all of the time and even better in the future.  As previously stated he is not even yet at the level of Vasquez, Asensio and many other European up and coming players.  Is he a very good player, yes, but he is not at the level we should yet be going crazy about.  Give him time and then we'll see where he is at.[/quote]
