Felix arrived on a dry loan deal from Chelsea and after impressing on his debut against Roma – even scoring a goal with a lovely chip – it has been a tale of steady decline for the forward.

Christian Pulisic followed a dismal week back home – during which the U.S. Men’s National Team lost back-to-back games at the CONCACAF Nations League Finals – with an equally disappointing loss in Italy. Named to AC Milan’s starting lineup against Napoli, Pulisic wasn’t able to inspire his side as they fell to a fourth loss in six Serie A games, this time 2-1 at Napoli. But what makes this loss perhaps even worse, is that frustration within the locker room is becoming more evident publicly. The latest example of this came as the players headed out of the locker room…
