Summary

A discussion of the red-hot American winger at Chelsea and Frank Lampard’s praise of him for his ability to “arrive in the box.” Friend of the podcast John Muller pitches in to help us make sense of the phrase, we curate some other ideas, and we spend talk at some length about off-ball movement, maybe our favorite subject. Then we get into who needs a move and who can stay put as the contract year comes to a close.

0:00.0	Welcome to the scuffed podcast. I'm Adam Bells in Minneapolis. With me is Greg Velazquez and
0:06.4	Des Moines. We talk get to some transfer speculation slash fantasizing but we got to start with
0:24.8	CP 22 who has put together a scintillating run in form for Chelsea Football Club
0:29.8	since the restart. Greg, what's up?
0:34.0	Bells, I'm glad that you're referring to him as CP22 because I would like to bring everyone's

1:14.0	I'm sure you don't, I'm sure you buried this deep,
1:19.0	especially over the last eight months.
1:21.0	I believe Bells actually went with the volcanic take
1:25.2	that Pulistic would be pushed out of the starting 11 by 2022.
1:30.3	This violation of the privacy of the Slack channel will not go unchecked.
1:36.0	No, I'm just kidding. I mean, to be fair to me, I, uh publicly because I can't stand behind it right I'll say it among friends just to get a rise but I guess the do
1:56.8	you want me to explain what I was thinking with that well again I'll give the
2:00.3	context if you remember in September of 2018 Pulisik had basically lost
2:04.8	his starting position at Dortmund to a combination of Jaiden Sancho and Jacob Larson
