Given his high-profile reputation, and with Eden Hazard swapping the British capital for Spain&#8217;s, many felt Pulisic would be a regular starter under Lampard.<\/p>\n<p>However, Newcastle&#8217;s visit to west London was only Pulisic&#8217;s sixth league appearance of the season, with half of those coming from the start &#8211; and he&#8217;s yet to appear in the Champions League &#8211; leading to discussions about his long-term future.<\/p>\n<p>Lampard, though, feels there needs to be calm around Pulisic and, following his role in Chelsea&#8217;s win over Steve Bruce&#8217;s side, he&#8217;s expecting to see further improvement.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Manchester United &amp; Liverpool Ranked From Worst to Best\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LDn2xp26mjE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Subscribe to <a href=\"http:\/\/sqwk.at\/Squawka-Sub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Squawka\u2019s Youtube channel here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m really pleased for him.
