Pulisic is in sensational form

It will be difficult to find a better dribbler in the Bundesliga at the moment than Christian Pulisic. The American winger has been absolutely sensational since the start of the campaign and is the stand-out performer in a rather dismal Dortmund side.

The winger completes 3.44 dribbles every 90 minutes while carrying a shot accuracy of 53% despite his role as a creator. Pulisic completed a staggering 7 take-ons out of an attempted 11 against Hannover this past weekend. These numbers are ridiculous and eye-popping. At 19 years of age, Pulisic is breaking the barriers for what a youngster can contribute to his side. With this kind of form, plus his ability to play on either flank, Bayern is going to struggle to contain him throughout the match. The likes of Alaba, Kimmich and Rafinha are not equipped to deal with Pulisic’s extra-terrestrial abilities and this is one of Bosz’s biggest advantages.
