Only watched short highlights of Chelsea, but it sounds like Sterling played well while Havertz and Mount were off, so maybe some daylight for CP.
True. Also, Werner has been permanently sold and CHO appears on his way out. He was not listed in the team on Saturday despite being healthy and has requested a loan or trade according to multiple reliable sources. Ziyech played extensively in preseason and was on the bench on Saturday but was not one of the 5 substitutions Tuchel used. Pulisic came on for Mount in the 65th minute and I think did well. Nothing remarkable perhaps, but he helped the team ride out a big win at Goodison Park. It was kind of what has become a typical Pulisic performance for Chelsea - had some really nice moments but also gave the ball up a few times, was physically bullied and his body language hasn't changed. For me, it continues to be apparent that the manager has huge confidence in Pulisic and that he will continue to be a valued player for the club.
