Pulisic out of the starting 11, and on the bench. I expect more of this moving forward considering how mediocre, to bad, he's been for months now. And this is with Sancho and Philipp still hurt.
He's had plenty of playing time, and chances this season to take that starting spot and make it his, but with poor performances, and reus and schurrle starting to shine I expect we will see him as a late second half sub more often than not.
Also, if he does make a move this summer,of all the big premiere league clubs he's been linked to, he would get absolutely burried on the depth chart at every one of them, and i'm not so sure he wouldn't get absolutely burried at dortmund assuming they have a reasonably healthy side next year.

He’s played more minutes for Dortmund this season than everyone sans Burki and Sokratis. I expect there will be more rotation now that Reus is temporarily healthy.
That said, it’s correct that he hasn’t been great, but that’s not all on him. He’s still only behind Keita in dribbles per game in the bundesliga, and has put the ball on a plate a few times only for Aubameyang to miss a sitter.
His decision making hasn’t been superb. He’ll often attempt to dribble when he should pass, and attempt to pass when he should shoot. Basically he’s selfish when he doesn’t need to be and unselfish when he doesn’t need to be. He’s been a split second late getting to the end of several crosses that would’ve been tap ins. That side has seen a lot of turnover though so it’s tough to blame it all on him as a player. I still think he has the skill set to make a difference at a premiere league club. He isn’t worth the reported Dortmund asking price though, and may never be. That said, look at 19 year old Mo Salah. It’s not unfathomable that he could be among the worlds best one day.

Top 10 in the Bundesliga in big chances created with 2 teammates in the top 10 in big chances missed. Statistically one of the best dribblers in the world at 19. This whole team, Pulisic included, has been out of sorts for a while now (3 coaches in the past year). So not great form for him this year, but saying Pulisic is bad is just laughable.

He also started the Europa game Thursday, so its not like hes been on the bench every game.

nobody is saying he's a bad player, i'm saying he's played badly at times over these last several months, and i haven't seen much, if any, improvement.
he's looked like he's lost a step at times, and weak, being shoved off ball with ease. i'm sure a lot of that is due to several of the reasons you stated, but competition is only going to get tougher for him moving forward with philipp, yarmolenko, sancho getting healthy...and reus back with schurrle discovering that he still actually knows how to play soccer...and that's just at dortmund. If he makes a move to a big time premiere league club, good luck.

I was watching Europa game, and announcers clearly said, he's not been good lately. His form is lacking, and at Dortmund, you can find urself buried, especially with so many players who can play the same position as CP.
Hopefully he can right his game, he along with the St.Louis Ginger are huge parts going forward with Team USA.
