Two different types of players really. Pulisic plays out wide mostly.
He probably is better than Iwobi though. I say that with no American bias.
Any stats to back that up?
What that he's better than Iwobi?
How would stats prove that? They wouldn't is the answer.
Goals? Assists? They would prove it.
Not that he is though. Iwobi took his team to a World Cup
Their stats are identical pretty much, but still what does that prove? Nothing.
So Iwobi took his team to the world cup and you think that proves he's better than Pulisic? So I guess he's better than Alexis too huh? See how shit that logic is?
It's a piece of flawed reasoning.
It's also fictive and borderline preposterous to suggest he carried Nigeria to the World Cup.
Heck, Alex is yet to become a nailed-on starter for Nigeria.
He did his bit, nothing more nothing less.
Exactly.
Now this doesn't mean I think Pulisic is a great player. I do believe he still has tons of potential, and yes, he is overhyped cause he's American. Kind of like being an overhyped English player and there are a ton of them. But it don't take much to be better than Iwobi. And I don't think Iwobi's shit, but still think all around Pulisic is the better athlete, player, and is better with the mental part of his game too. But like Iwobi, he's also lacking in the final 3rd of the pitch. I'm not sure who is actually the faster player, but Pulisic looks quicker to me, and seems to have more ability to beat players with the ball.
Anyway, sorry, I know this is a Ramsey thread.
