Brad Friedel backs Christian Pulisic to find true form under new Chelsea boss Graham Potter, as he tells USMNT and Chelsea winger he can 'really benefit' from Thomas Tuchel's sacking

Former USMNT and Premier League goalkeeper Brad Friedel has backed Christian Pulisic to find his feet at Chelsea this season, as he can 'really benefit' from the managerial change that saw Graham Potter take over from Thomas Tuchel at Stamford Bridge.

New owner Todd Boehly decided to part ways with German manager Tuchel last month after the Blues' dismal start to the 2022-23 season, including in Europe.

Chelsea lie in seventh place in the Premier League, collecting 10 points out of a possible 18 after suffering losses to Leeds and Southampton.
