Don Hutchison, a former midfielder for Liverpool, has criticized Christian Pulisic, a winger for Chelsea, for his criticism of former Blues boss Thomas Tuchel.
Pulisic had criticized Tuchel for the manner the German treated him while the coach was at Stamford Bridge. Tuchel was later fired by Graham Potter.

The 24-year-old revealed in his new book, “Pulisic: My Journey So Far,” that Tuchel had assured him a spot in the team’s starting XI for the second leg. He added that he was “dumbfounded” to learn Kai Havertz would start ahead of him.
Hutchison responded by criticizing Pulisic for alleging that Tuchel had misled him prior to Chelsea’s matchup with Real Madrid in the Champions League semifinals.
He called the USA International’s conduct “babyish” and “ridiculously naive.”

On ESPN FC’s YouTube channel, Hutchison said: “Oh, my days! Christian Pulisic is incredibly naive, to put it mildly. Okay, so he feels as though he has a voice against Thomas Tuchel because it is his book, but is he really that foolish to believe that Tuchel won’t be pleased and that he’ll argue with other managers?
“Managers have shifting opinions. How are you doing? You’re feeling a little bit gutted and upset. But to me, everything just sounds a little too childish. Christian Pulisic is complaining. What’s the purpose? What benefits does it provide him?
