Christian Pulisic's main Chelsea problem revealed after Thomas Tuchel's Real Madrid decision

Shaun Wright-Phillips believes Christian Pulisic is paying the price for his versatility. The 23-year-old has struggled in recent matches and has received some criticism from the Chelsea supporters.

The American was brought on with less than 10 minutes of normal time to go in the week against Real Madrid. He replaced Timo Werner, who was impressive on the night, but Pulisic failed to make an impression once called upon and missed a good chance at the Bernabeu.

Pulisic has played in several positions during Thomas Tuchel's tenure at the club, including wing-back and on both wings upfront. This could be costing the former Borussia Dortmund wide man, according to Wright-Phillips, who believes it is crucial to nail down one position at Stamford Bridge rather than being used as a utility player.
