American players in the Premier League. Have they escaped the past stereotypes about their style of play/ability to play football or does it still persist in the English game? (alien.top)

Thierry Henry, Clint Dempsey and Charlie Davies discussing perception of American players in Europe

Read that a few years ago. Now, I've only been following football since '07 which is around the time time Dempsey made his move to Fulham. He was a thrill to watch and I'd reckon he def helped change some opinions around US players at the time with the likes of Pulisic or McKennie continuing to this day.

But just curious for a discussion, how prevalent are the stereotypes of US players today? Is it simply just banter or are there still managers who just don't rate US players all that much.

I’m just glad we don’t have the Pulisic nuthuggers polluting our sub anymore
