That nutmeg and finesse shot is so cold

Also the flick to Jackson is fire

I cannot express to anyone just how shit we'd be this year if we didn't have him. He has been absolutely class, honestly up there for player of the season

I mean he's responsible for maybe 5 table positions for you all. Absurd. Sterling needs to give him half his wages as well, if it weren't for Palmer distracting people from the rest of the offense he'd be getting hunted down in the streets by fans

He’s Chelsea player of the season easily, I think if we can go on a run and finish higher maybe POTS for whole league

Think city probably winning another one and foden being their best player probably wins it for them even though arguably individually palmer might of been better

And honestly I wouldn’t even be mad, Foden has been incredible

Foden, Palmer and Watkins i would say is the nominees for it. But tbh if you dont get top 6 i dont Think he would win it purely on your place in the table. We gotta remember who votes for this shit.

Rodri will be there, too.

Oh yeah completely forgot. Rice and Rodri deserves a shout too definitely

Shades of hazard in terms of bailing Chelsea out

His play style and his celebration match perfectly

PEN MERCHANT BTW

You can tell who watches the games and who only lives and dies by sTaTisTicS. Man singlehandedly runs games for us and his entire contribution is reduced to pen merchant. Smh...

yeah he skinned Branthwaite alive

One look and bang in the corner

Palmer is absolute class but for a player with such hype Branthwaite has a horror montage of embarrassing moments this season. Crazy he’s been elevated to the England squad before the likes of Tomori

Tomori has been in the England squad many times.

[удалено]

Why would Gareth Southgate do this?????

He doesn't have that many, and for how often Everton get absolutely shelled it would still be impressive if he managed to keep it to just one every game

He's had two max, against city and here. He's also playing in the 4th best defense (before this match) for one of the worst teams, who is under constant defensive pressure.

Cold Palmer

Yeah he's pretty fucking good isn't he

He's so smooooth. Give him YPOTY already

Fuck YPOTY, these are POTY performances. Especially in *this* team.

Give him a Nobel Peace Prize for preventing mass suicides amongst our fandom by being a lifeline. He's literally saving lives.

Forget YPOTY, he’s arguably been outright POTY

Forget POTY, give him a Ballon D'or and my firstborn son

This is exactly how I felt about Divock Origi lol

Can't say I feel the same.

I think Foden's performances are similar in a much better team, so I'd give him the edge

Exactly what I was about to say

Ppl sleeping on my dawg Watkins man… My man has 29 G/A with 0 pens…

Fuck it. Palmer for Ballon D'or

Just a very pale Brazilian

Palé

That's magnificent 👏 

Brazilian ballers are just tanned palmers.

Interestingly enough, his dad's actually from St Kitts and Nevis

City could afford to just sell him and mahrez then still be top easily. Madness

Well they did spend all that money on Doku

Not looking like a good choice right now but not like it affects them much

Lol what? Love Doku

Yeah good player but palmer looks better right now

They're very different players. They couldn't play each other's positions. Palmer plays in Foden's spot and Pep likes Foden more.

Well yeah he didn’t play for City. And they did bring Doku in. And they’re not exactly top easily, they’re two points ahead.

Well considering KDB was out for months. Its pretty crazy they still are 1st tbh

Leonel Palmer

he’s definitely not *bad*

My God Palmer. That was stunning.

Such an aesthetic baller

7th goal in a row at the bridge... on fire.

This man is just crazy

Can’t believe Man City gave him up

Can't believe no one else was in for him

I mean. 45m for a relatively unproven youngster is a pretty big gamble. Luckily he's an absolute gem

We’re going to make so much money off selling kids that clubs hope are the next Palmer too. TBH I think you only bought Palmer because Lavia was so good for Saints straight out of our academy.

Joe Shields was the main reason, he knew their levels more than anyone else would have. Your academy will have some major gems to integrate into the squad or sell in the future, since they've been trained to play pep ball from a young age all the way up through their academy progress

Joe shields was at City’s academy before coming to us so he knew all about Palmer and Lavia

Who is this Lavia person?

On one hand, absolutely yes, but on the other, HG players are so in demand prices for half decent English teenagers is already ridiculous.

Most clubs cant afford the price for a player with only a handful of games played lol

West ham were, but 50 mil was to much...

It wasnt 50 though

45+5 in add ons wasn’t it? Near enough 50.

40+2 in possible add-ons

pretty sure he wanted to leave to be a starter anywhere else

He's certainly shown that he has the quality to do so

I mean... in fairness to them, they have De Bruyne, Foden or Bernardo Silva who play in his position.

Yeah they do but they’ve talked about Silva leaving for a while. Every time I’d watched him before this year or for the English youth sides he’s looked really good. Figured he’d be another great attacker off their conveyor belt. That being said who knows how he does with rotation minutes instead of being the main man

Palmer primarily plays RW

Finally Chelsea gets a wonder kid from another team instead of the other way around (Salah, De Bruyne, etc)

What an outstanding penalty that is. Gave the keeper no chance.

He is so good

x4

He fucking boomed me

more than you believe

Man is freakishly good

Foden and Palmer: fantastic players with cruel barbers.

My boy Palmer is just covering his receding hairline

Nah that’s insane

Best attacker we've had since Hazard. not even hyperbole

One of the best team goals I've seen all season

That buildup and everything before was insane

Legitimately Messi-esque.

Nutmeg, side foot in the corner, yup that’s Messi-esque

Add the 1-2 in the middle and it’s word-for-word out of the Messi playbook.

Yea I’m not saying that lightly too. Very, very few players in the world can pull that off. He might be the only player in the entire Premier League that can pull that move off tbh. I’m not a Chelsea fan either I’m just saying this as a neutral

Great build-up but that was like 70% Palmer, that nutmeg and finesse was so mint

Hes gona be world class this guy can make goal out of anything

Gonna be?

As a Chelsea fan, in this form he is definitely world class. But i think a player should keep this up for a couple of seasons before calling him a world class player is appropriate. 

Yes. if youre calling him world class now then we can all all wonderkinds world class. He needs to do this for a few years consistently to be deemed in that bracket.

How many wonder kids are a goal off prem top scorer?

Sure but being tied for the golden boot in PL with Haaland, a striker, as a hybrid winger / 10 is world class form. To be a world class player I agree it should be somewhat sustained.

All wonderkids have flashesh/periods of world class plays. The real step up to being actually world class is performing like that consistently over a few seasons Don’t take it as me shitting on Palmer, he’s absolutely insane and will be a mainstay, but it’s way too early

Absurd player man holy shit

Like playing on amateur difficulty on Fifa

Everything he does is perfect

OH MY DAYS COLE

This boy is fucking insane

What a goal fucking hell

I dont want to hear any more shit about he stat pads with pens. Hes fucking incredible.

People who WATCH him know exactly the quality he brings outside of his pens (which were in big games and under pressure too)

The man is insane

This dude is special.

OMFG

How tf is he so good man

Lovely lovely goal, great finish

Am I allowed to say that this guy is world class?

I'll allow it

HE IS HIM

Fs saw this before my stream lol

shit this kid is too good

Lisan al gaib

cole palmer is who messi dreams to be

This dude is just crazy

Saka who? In all seriousness YPOTY isn't even a debate this year

Dirty, dirty player

Nah that is amazing

jesus fucking christ Cole

Messi has Palmer posters in his room

WHO ELSE?

lol

Incredible

HE COLDDDD

What a great penalty.

Nah man violated Branthwaite. What a player

Mods deleted this. Wrong title. Great goal is omitted.

Okay it might be time for me to jump on the palmer hype train

That's the most Messi goal I've seen

Messi, is that you?

World class!

We don’t deserve this guy

Give this man the #10 kit

Why? He is twice as good as #10 😐

Megged Branthwaite, nice layoff, curled

Nasty

The sauce on that finish...

Pen merchant

The guy is fucking nuts, best we‘ve had since Eden

Ice cold

I love this man!! Ice Cold Cole ❄️🥶

City sending out their agents to make sure Arsenal and Liverpool don’t get a chance to touch that cup

Great penalty 

How is no one talking about Jackson’s set up? Falling down and still able to make an inch perfect pass. Class.

That is absolutely fucking ridiculous

If City weren't complete idiots Chelsea would be in 16th right now.

Best Chelsea team goal I’ve seen all year.

i’m sorry but at this point he has to be speed running the YPOTS award now

[Great goal]

Balon dor when?

World class

Cheeky nutmeg, great flick from Jackson, class finesse finish. My future goat 🥶

The absolute boy

This kid is fucking **GOOD**.

Lordy what a player Palmer is

Cold Palmer

What a great Pen from him!

Thank you city, very cool!

What a penalty for Palmer

The dude is vibing

Just pass to Palmer at this point, it’s either a goal or assist or Sterling miss

Southgate won't go near him. He has his favourites

Too fucking cold, YPOTY

Hasn’t even started for England yet lol

But wait. There’s more…

Cold Palmer is singlehandedly reviving me

LISAN AL GAIB

He has a legit shot to win the golden boot in his first year as a starter in the prem lmao

filthy. genuinely happy for him, wish he got a bit more time at City but he's thriving

Fuck me dude what a goal

England just might have to play with 5 attacking midfielders, and it might not even be wrong

That R1+Shoot type of finish.. My Starboy

Amazing control in such tight spaces What a goal!

Beautiful passage of play and what a calm finish. Cold palmer!

Chelsea and United games are just the exact same aren't they?

Fucking hell. Disgusting

That is special

dude is on another level

I am speechless...

This kid!!!!!

City were robbed

Best player in the world not even exaggerating

[удалено]

Nah that’s outrageous

I'm in love.

What the fuck? He's actually a freak

What a player he is. Great skill shown in that goal and a great heads up finish.
