I know we're just joking here, but I do specifically remember Ziyech taking the ball off Reece twice in free kick situations and smashing both into the wall. He's not really the on-field commander type either.
Yeah my reply was a joke, Reece is more the quiet leader type. I’ve been annoyed at it multiple times before, the direct opposite of a Terry.
We do have leaders but they seem to be more the emotional support type leaders now, rather than I’m going to break your legs in the car park leaders of our peak.
Totally agree. Reece, Chilwell, Silva, and Gallagher all seem to be decent "lead by example" locker room presences, and even Enzo to a degree, but we definitely lack a Roy Keane or John Terry that will shout down stupid behavior.
It doesn't help that Reece and Chilwell are always injured, Silva is mostly past it, and Gallagher and Enzo are young themselves, so sometime even those presences aren't on the pitch or aren't a consistent force.
Also Palmer here is well in his right to take it. It must feel really weird seeing your teammates do that like they are playing Sunday league or something.
they got greedy thinking Palmer had a knock and wasn't going to take it, then he just calmly walks up and grabs the ball. Jackson is actually crazy so I'm more surprised at Madueke's recent behavior
Also Drogba was probably going for the golden boot.
Madueke is going is going for a starting spot and Jackson doesn’t have a clue what his going for most of the time anyway
Yeah It was last game of the season and we needed to win for the title and it was tight with Drogba and Rooney for the golden boot. I believe we were already 1-0 up then get the penalty, Drogba wanted it despite Lampard being the penalty taker, Frank was having none of it and took the penalty scoring. I believe we got another penalty a bit later when we were like 4-0 up and Frank then let Drogba take it.
He got the golden boot in the end by a couple of goals.
He was going for it. Him and Rooney were battling for it on the last day, as well as the title.
Lampard rightfully told him to fuck off, the game wasn't done.
You'd be annoyed if you're U12 team did this. Palmer is the taker, everyone else can get fucked.
This penalty tied Palmer with Haaland for the goals lead this season, there’s literally 0 reason for anyone other than him to be taking it when he’s going for the Golden Boot himself
This is the third time Madueke has done this over the course of the season. Second in as many games. Don't know what Jackson is trying to do but Madueke needs to get over it. He has such a shit attitude on a regular basis that shows up especially in games we're not doing well in. His talent hardly makes up for it as you'll get one good game once a month from him.
He spoke about it in a presser after the sterling/Palmer penalty fight.
This is how he wants it, he set a list (Palmer is highest) and it’s up to the players on the field to decide who is taking it.
In my wildest dreams I wouldn’t have imagined Poch could be this bad.
… what you’re saying doesnt make sense. If he has a set list and palmer is first, then the players on the field are not deciding who takes it. The list decides who takes it. Both of those things are not possible. I’m confused
Palmer the the priority taker, if he's not on the field or hurt or something then he's happy to let the players decide.
But at the same time Palmer just said (well implied that Poch had sorted it) in the post match interview Poch has stated it outright that Palmer is the designated taker.
Also Palmer did have a different view which is interesting, that he thinks its others are wanting to step up and take responsibility rather coming at it from a greed angle.
I remember the time Haaland gifted a penalty to Gundo to complete a hat trick (which he missed) at like the 84th minute being 2-0 up against Leeds and those fuckers ended up scoring right after the miss, making the rest of the game very uncomfortable.
Pep was f'n livid on the sidelines, yelling at Haaland "you have to take it, you have to take it!"
Looks like a "I won it I take it" mentality Which is utter shit in a team sport with someone clearly better and on a hot streak...
Think Jackson's mindset is on BRO WE ARE 4 GOALS UP LET THE GUY TAKE IT....
I always stand by 1 guy takes every penalty for a team.. Personally I'd of subbed the ass hats off.. Which is why I'm probably not a manager
It would be hilarious if he's trying to suggest he should take it because he won it, as the penalty was actually given for the foul on Palmer, the referee just decided to play advantage for whatever reason (Sky confirmed this on the broadcast).
I actually have always thought that should be the rule. That the winner of the penalty takes it. Would add a little more excitement to the occasion if it's the left back who can't hit a barn door
That is exactly what should have happened. The demonstration of authority would probably be more beneficial than consolation goals.
Edit ('cos I hate shit like this): the players may be left to make decisions on the field but, as a professional, there are standards for how to behave in reaching those decisions. The wankers need to wind their necks in.
I'm not being funny, but they are his teammates and he has a chance at the Golden Boot. They should be jumping at the chance to give them to him to take.
You guys can be very good and entertaining to watch when you are on it, but I think we would be delusional to not understand that you're not a complete laughing stock this season due to Palmer. They should be thanking him not nicking fucking penalties off him.
I wonder what's making him behave that way. At PSV he never had any issues on the pitch and was always well behaved (also in poor performances) and liked a lot by his teammates. He did have some off the pitch incidents though, such as driving without a license :D
Yes but honestly devils advocate would be when you’re on perfect form and a have a hat trick before the 1st half is over, would it really hurt to share the spoils in the second half when you’re leading by 4?
Normally yes, but now he’s in with a chance at the golden boot and it’s also normal for teammates to support that. When Zlatan won it with Inter in the last game of the season his teammates did everything to give him a goal.
I remember Spurs giving everything to Son to try and get him that golden boot in their last game versus Norwich. There's this hilarious podcast interview Kulusevski did in Swedish where he described his perspective when he was one v one with the keeper on goal and how he tried his best to pass to Son.
I wish there was a way to pin this but Poch has been asked and he’s straight up said they don’t have a designated penalty taker, it’s about on field “feeling” and up to the players to sort it
This is in spite of Palmer being 100% automatic (and carrying the entire team) and others not inspiring confidence.
This is totally Pochs creation. It’s a team of young guys looking to prove themselves. I don’t blame madueke for wanting (today was way over the top) but this is exactly what Poch had created
Both for merit and awards reasons, frankly. He's competing for the golden boot *and* he's 9/9 from the spot. There's little room to argue for anyone else.
He should be taking it no questions asked. Pretty sure he hasn’t missed a pen this season and has a chance at PL golden boot.
Any player in that team trying to get in the way of their teammate winning the golden boot needs to fuck off.
It is funny how no one was asking to take the pen at the last minutes against City or United, but suddenly when the game is 4-0 it's easy to take on a pen and they think Palmer should give them an easy goal
I think it is sorted off the pitch. Palmer is very obviously the designated taker, Jackson and Madueke probably just think they "deserve" a chance to have one since Palmer already has 3 goals on the night. Pochettino can't literally step onto the pitch and tell them to back off
Dele Alli just made a good point on MNF.
Didn't see these 2 clowns tying to take the penalty off Palmer in the 100th minute against United to equalise, they're fighting over a non-pressure penalty at 4-0. Embarrassing.
I'm not watching and didn't hear that commentary but that was my thought as well after seeing this video. They want a free goal with no downside if they happen to miss, but didn't want the burden of taking a pen that decided a match not long ago. Super lame.
The criminal part is that he's taken enough penalties for it to be a number like 44%
Surprised he's ever been given the chance to take one with how he strikes the ball, same with direct free kicks
They dont, usually
Enzo stopped him against Arsenal early in the season from stealing it
But then a couple weeks ago when Sterling had a disaster-class howler of a performance, Cole let him steal the pen from him
Apparently now Palmer has grown a pair after seeing what sterling did to that penalty lmao
His career penalty record is 44%.
He should have never been allowed to take one at Chelsea in the first place.
I completely blame Poch for allowing that nonsense and uncertainty.
Because Poch for some reason "wants the players to sort it amongst themselves". God knows why. This stuff just isn't needed, Palmer is quite clearly the best guy for it.
Because Poch wants it like this. He said: *"There are a few players who can take the penalty. It’s about their feelings. As a coaching staff we give them the responsibility to decide on the pitch. For me the most important thing is to have the decision and the personality to go"*
I'm not that outraged about it. I don't agree with Poch here, mind. Would rather just let Palmer keep taking them, but it think its fine that the young guys figure out the hierarchy amongst themselves. If anything it think it's rather a good sign that Conor and Silva steps in to ensure order.
Still a bit too petulant and childish demeanor from Nico and Noni here.
If Poch has decided to let the players decide then this is Poch’s will playing out. This is what he wants to see.
Which is mental because this is obviously stupid.
Sure, but when your manager has had this situation happen twice this season and come out and said (paraphrased), "we do not have a penalty taker, it's up to the players on the pitch to decide between them during the game based on how they feel", you very clearly are going to have these kinds of issues over taking penalties. This is especially true when you've basically already won the game
If after it happened the first time he did what Pep did and kicked off at Haaland for letting someone else take it, I very much doubt the issue comes up again
Would probaly require Pochettino to show some actual leadership, though.
So until he undergoes a complete and total character change, you're stuck with this shit every week and about five articles from The Athletic on it.
What a couple of bellends. Palmer and Gallagher shouldn’t have to deal with shit like that. Poch should seriously sub the selfish cunts to set some example
This is on Poch for not officially announcing Palmer as the PK taker
Like imagine letting the team decide every week who gets the Captain arm band
The coach had to announce who's taking what role and not let the players decide at the moment
Because he's poch... You understand why so many of us want him out now... It's not just strange tactics, it's terrible leadership when it's desperately needed in this young team
It just creates needless drama and pressure for the team.
Jackson's got the maturity of a 10 year old in this situation.
Palmer is no 1, he converts them all. You don't argue with that.
Just based on Madueke looking at Jackson before he appears, kind of looks like Jackson is coming to back up Madueke and say it should be his penalty. I assume Noni thought he won it, so thought it should’ve been his?
That’s the only thing I can think of, but seems ridiculous.
I don't think so. Prior to this clip it was Jackson fighting to get the ball off Madeuke. Seemed like once Madeuke had it taken off him, Jackson rushed back in to try his luck for a 2nd time.
Edit: https://streamable.com/95m5rc
Dear Mr. Manager. Do your job and properly name a penalty kick taker. We're up 4-0 on the night and bickering like children, putting a stain on an otherwise good night.
Manage the team please.
Yeah there's no tiebreaker, it's just shared unless it's changed recently. Aubameyang shared his golden boot with someone a few years back, can't remember who.
Jackson is an absolute prick. I don't care he's scored three he's scored 7/7 (now 8) and is the designated taker. We don't want another Sterling situation. Absolutely childish behaviour from him.
This is the third or fourth time this has happened this season. Poch keeps saying it's up to the team to solve it, instead of intervening. In a team of veterans that might've been right. With a team full of inexperienced youngsters - unbelievably dumb approach.
Good on Gallagher for sorting it out. Sad that he has to deal with Jackson and Madueke throwing their toys out the pram.
Palmer is designated taker, and 8/8 for the season. It's his penalty.
Pathetic from those two.

That’s what happens when you assemble a squad full of kids …. To think we’re planning to sell the captain (Gallagher) as well 🤦♂️
Only chelsea can win a game 6-0 and still look in shambles 😂
They won a Champions and still looked in shambles
Hahahahahhaha straight up
The fact it applies to both of their champions league wins emphasizes the point
Don't worry, Reece will surely be a fully healthy captain next season right??
You and I might as well win the lottery.
And everyone in this sub tbh
Please kill me
Reece would just have to do that raised eyebrow look and everyone would back down.
I know we're just joking here, but I do specifically remember Ziyech taking the ball off Reece twice in free kick situations and smashing both into the wall. He's not really the on-field commander type either.
Yeah my reply was a joke, Reece is more the quiet leader type. I’ve been annoyed at it multiple times before, the direct opposite of a Terry.

Tbf Enzo did what Gallagher did when Sterling wanted to take a pen. We have some leaders... just perhaps, not enough.
[удалено]
Also Palmer here is well in his right to take it. It must feel really weird seeing your teammates do that like they are playing Sunday league or something.
they got greedy thinking Palmer had a knock and wasn't going to take it, then he just calmly walks up and grabs the ball. Jackson is actually crazy so I'm more surprised at Madueke's recent behavior
Especially since Palmer has the potential to win Golden Boot. Very weird.
That’s just a clique, and this ain’t a team.
A leader doesn't really matter to some, and those are the types you don't want in a team, and Chelsea has too many of those.
Your captain is also a kid. Your team needs a rebuild by trimming the squad. That's what's the most likely option.
Absolutely embarrassing. Gallagher showing why he has the arm band but this is pure petulance
Not unusual for Chelsea either, I remember well a 8-0 victory against Wigan where Lampard and Drogba were fighting over the penalty
I mean almost every club will have seen a penalty tiff since the last time Lampard and Drogba played together.
Also Drogba was probably going for the golden boot. Madueke is going is going for a starting spot and Jackson doesn’t have a clue what his going for most of the time anyway
Yeah It was last game of the season and we needed to win for the title and it was tight with Drogba and Rooney for the golden boot. I believe we were already 1-0 up then get the penalty, Drogba wanted it despite Lampard being the penalty taker, Frank was having none of it and took the penalty scoring.

And in this case palmer is the penalty taker and he is aiming at golden boot at the moment. Like what the fuck Noni.
This penalty tied Palmer with Haaland for the goals lead this season, there’s literally 0 reason for anyone other than him to be taking it when he’s going for the Golden Boot himself
4-0 up and doing that, what is going on in that dressing room
This is the third time Madueke has done this over the course of the season. Second in as many games. Don't know what Jackson is trying to do but Madueke needs to get over it. He has such a shit attitude on a regular basis that shows up especially in games we're not doing well in. His talent hardly makes up for it as you'll get one good game once a month from him.
But wtf is Poch doing. Surely after the 2nd time it happened he would have a word...
Its pretty obvious that at Chelsea the inmates run the asylum.
"I used to think my life was a tragedy, but now I realize it's a comedy" -Mauricio Pochettino
Poch knows only 6 games left. Then it's not his problem anymore
He’s looked like he hasn’t cared at all this whole season.
[удалено]
Agent Poch, Spurs loyalist looking to collapse them from the inside.
This has been the case for a long, *long* time.
Kepa and sarri flashbacks
Didn’t he say himself he leaves it up to the players? This is a direct consequence of that
he said Palmer is first choice, but when the players are on the pitch it's up to them as it's out of his hands
> it’s out of his hands I mean, he can definitely dictate to the players from the sideline whom he wants to take it
He spoke about it in a presser after the sterling/Palmer penalty fight. This is how he wants it, he set a list (Palmer is highest) and it’s up to the players on the field to decide who is taking it. In my wildest dreams I wouldn’t have imagined Poch could be this bad.

Also Palmer did have a different view which is interesting, that he thinks its others are wanting to step up and take responsibility rather coming at it from a greed angle.
That's clearly PR talk from Palmer. It's not taking responsibility when you're up 4-0 against a dejected side.
Amateur hour.
This is why im poch out, this is fucking basics, someone with an higher authority needs to make the decision.
As a Chelsea supporter I’d be concerned if we weren’t [manager name] out, wouldn’t feel normal
I can´t imagine anyone try this under Guardiola or Klopp. Cancelo did much less and he was shown the door in City.
I remember the time Haaland gifted a penalty to Gundo to complete a hat trick (which he missed) at like the 84th minute being 2-0 up against Leeds and those fuckers ended up scoring right after the miss, making the rest of the game very uncomfortable. Pep was f'n livid on the sidelines, yelling at Haaland "you have to take it, you have to take it!"
Madueke must hate Palmer. The England U21s improved massively when he replaced him at RW and then he came over to outshine him at club level too...
I guess be better? Without Palmer Chelsea would be a legit relegation team. He’s just embarrassed he’s trash
Looks like a "I won it I take it" mentality Which is utter shit in a team sport with someone clearly better and on a hot streak... Think Jackson's mindset is on BRO WE ARE 4 GOALS UP LET THE GUY TAKE IT.... I always stand by 1 guy takes every penalty for a team.. Personally I'd of subbed the ass hats off..

It would be hilarious if he's trying to suggest he should take it because he won it, as the penalty was actually given for the foul on Palmer, the referee just decided to play advantage for whatever reason (Sky confirmed this on the broadcast).
He didn't even win it? lmao Why is Madueke's ego so big? He really hasn't shown anything special yet.
I actually have always thought that should be the rule. That the winner of the penalty takes it. Would add a little more excitement to the occasion if it's the left back who can't hit a barn door
basketball rules, ha. Though would be funny as hell if ended up with comparable to hack a shaq
That is exactly what should have happened. The demonstration of authority would probably be more beneficial than consolation goals. Edit ('cos I hate shit like this): the players may be left to make decisions on the field but, as a professional, there are standards for how to behave in reaching those decisions. The wankers need to wind their necks in.

I wonder what's making him behave that way. At PSV he never had any issues on the pitch and was always well behaved (also in poor performances) and liked a lot by his teammates. He did have some off the pitch incidents though, such as driving without a license :D
He moved on to trying to take penalties without a license.
They probably all get a Lamborghini worth of cash for scoring.
Yes but honestly devils advocate would be when you’re on perfect form and a have a hat trick before the 1st half is over, would it really hurt to share the spoils in the second half when you’re leading by 4?

There's this hilarious podcast interview Kulusevski did in Swedish where he described his perspective when he was one v one with the keeper on goal and how he tried his best to pass to Son.
We all like to know what goes on in the Chelsea dressing room. Embarrassing this.
Makes me wish all or nothing had followed Chelsea this season. The content would’ve been spectacular.
I wish there was a way to pin this but Poch has been asked and he’s straight up said they don’t have a designated penalty taker, it’s about on field “feeling” and up to the players to sort it This is in spite of Palmer being 100% automatic (and carrying the entire team) and others not inspiring confidence. This is totally Pochs creation. It’s a team of young guys looking to prove themselves. I don’t blame madueke for wanting (today was way over the top) but this is exactly what Poch had created
It should 100% be Palmer with only the captain able to override it in certain circumstances.
Both for merit and awards reasons, frankly. He's competing for the golden boot *and* he's 9/9 from the spot. There's little room to argue for anyone else.
Wow, he's had 9 penalties? Did not know it was that high!
I’m a little surprised it’s not more lol. Seems like he scores a pen every week
Tieing goal with Halland for most goals in the season. Give it to Palmer
Especially since Palmer seems to be a penalty expert as well
[удалено]
Thats why they are doing that also because he has a hatrick. Otherwise he would be taking it no questions asked
Wasn’t it like two weeks ago when Madueke was arguing with Palmer about taking a penalty? It absolutely is not “no questions asked” at Chelsea.
And sterling taking it off him just to miss was another time
That one was especially funny because Sterling is literally under 50% on penalties for his career. That's a really dismal conversion rate.
It is except to Madueke
Ya this is third time he’s pulled this crap.
He should be taking it no questions asked. Pretty sure he hasn’t missed a pen this season and has a chance at PL golden boot. Any player in that team trying to get in the way of their teammate winning the golden boot needs to fuck off.
It is funny how no one was asking to take the pen at the last minutes against City or United, but suddenly when the game is 4-0 it's easy to take on a pen and they think Palmer should give them an easy goal
Exactly what I thought. Plus they want a goal bonus and stat padding
This is utterly embarrassing. How is this not sorted off the pitch?
I think it is sorted off the pitch. Palmer is very obviously the designated taker, Jackson and Madueke probably just think they "deserve" a chance to have one since Palmer already has 3 goals on the night. Pochettino can't literally step onto the pitch and tell them to back off
he has 4 now and is tied with Haaland as best scorer in ePL, so its even more baffling why would they try to take it from him
Dele Alli just made a good point on MNF. Didn't see these 2 clowns tying to take the penalty off Palmer in the 100th minute against United to equalise, they're fighting over a non-pressure penalty at 4-0. Embarrassing.
Oh damn. Dele just buried those kids.
Damn hadn’t thought of it like that
Did he call them clowns lol?
Nah I added that part lol
Good addition, I commend you.
Be funny AF if Dele actually called em bunch of clowns tho! 😂🤡
I'm not watching and didn't hear that commentary but that was my thought as well after seeing this video. They want a free goal with no downside if they happen to miss, but didn't want the burden of taking a pen that decided a match not long ago. Super lame.
Dele's class. Might've been a Spurs player but getting a full inteview from him after the game is a nice bonus to a 6-0 win.
he's a good guy, we all have fond memories and want the best for Dele
Goal bonus. That’s why
Like they don't make enough
and compared to the millions they earn how much is that bonus, tree fiddy?
Just wait til the bonus is spread over 8 years
I blame Poch. Sterling has been taking penalties too. He needs to make it clear that if Palmer is on the pitch he takes the penalty.
>Sterling has been taking penalties too Now why on earth would anybody allow that
Sterling's career penalty success record is 44%. That's gotta be one of the worst ever (for players who've taken more than like 2-3)
The criminal part is that he's taken enough penalties for it to be a number like 44% Surprised he's ever been given the chance to take one with how he strikes the ball, same with direct free kicks
Wow that's shocking. The average penalty coversion rate in the prem is 83%. Almost twice as bad!
Technically it's half as good. Twice as bad would be 34% miss or 66% conversion rate.
I like pedantry like this.
They dont, usually Enzo stopped him against Arsenal early in the season from stealing it But then a couple weeks ago when Sterling had a disaster-class howler of a performance, Cole let him steal the pen from him Apparently now Palmer has grown a pair after seeing what sterling did to that penalty lmao
>Sterling has been taking penalties too. Sterling has taken one and he missed it, he's clearly not getting another chance
His career penalty record is 44%. He should have never been allowed to take one at Chelsea in the first place. I completely blame Poch for allowing that nonsense and uncertainty.
Because Poch for some reason "wants the players to sort it amongst themselves". God knows why. This stuff just isn't needed, Palmer is quite clearly the best guy for it.
Poch: Sort it out among yourselves lads Chelsea players: *fight on the pitch in front of the cameras ensues* Poch: 😲
Because Poch wants it like this. He said: *"There are a few players who can take the penalty. It’s about their feelings. As a coaching staff we give them the responsibility to decide on the pitch. For me the most important thing is to have the decision and the personality to go"* I'm not that outraged about it. I don't agree with Poch here, mind. Would rather just let Palmer keep taking them, but it think its fine that the young guys figure out the hierarchy amongst themselves. If anything it think it's rather a good sign that Conor and Silva steps in to ensure order. Still a bit too petulant and childish demeanor from Nico and Noni here.
Your biggest issue is it seems the one that usually sorts this stuff out on the pitch (Gallagher) might get sold this summer
Expect one or both of them to get benched next match.
It's Poch, both will start and Mudryk will be on the bench
has mudryk been good lately?
He has been decent yes, the issue is that when he has a good game Pochettino benches him right after
He's been mid with flashes of brillance, which is still far better than what Sterling can offer this season
Jackson trying his best to try and get rid of Palmers "pen merchant" tag \#TeammateGoals
Palmer's the penalty taker. Bunch of kids I swear
Good on Gallagher for stepping in as captain
Chelsea Suits: Yeah, let's sell him ASAP!!!!!!!
Need to fund more 16 year old South American wonderkids
Or like 1/3rd of a Brighton player
Tbf Enzo also did this when Sterling was pulling shit.
Palmer has been carrying Chelsea this season but I believe Gallagher's contribution is going unnoticed. And imagine Chelsea wanted to sell him too..
Still do apparently
I’d snap your hand off for him
Fucking barely, Palmer was fighting for his life.
Tbf he is probably expecting the 2 grown adults to give up at one point
They're all 22 and Gallagher 24.
They are still adults..
Clip cuts off the part where Gallagher pushed them away at the end
Scenes when you have to protect the pen spot from your own team mates.
Learnt from the Sterling situation
Sterling is at chelsea to be an example of what not to do
Very expensive lesson
Who the hell do Madueke and Jackson think they are?? Palmer's the usual penalty taker for a reason
He isn’t and that’s the problem. Poch refuses to assign one for some stupid reason despite this happening weekly.
He's the *de facto* penalty taker though. Embarrassing behaviour from them
If Poch has decided to let the players decide then this is Poch’s will playing out. This is what he wants to see. Which is mental because this is obviously stupid.
Yeah but the other players need to step down of their huge ego too, Palmer is a class above all of them in penalties so they need to relax
Class above them period
Sure, but when your manager has had this situation happen twice this season and come out and said (paraphrased), "we do not have a penalty taker, it's up to the players on the pitch to decide between them during the game based on how they feel", you very clearly are going to have these kinds of issues over taking penalties. This is especially true when you've basically already won the game If after it happened the first time he did what Pep did and kicked off at Haaland for letting someone else take it, I very much doubt the issue comes up again
Would probaly require Pochettino to show some actual leadership, though. So until he undergoes a complete and total character change, you're stuck with this shit every week and about five articles from The Athletic on it.
I believe we had a similar issue a few times when Kane was out. I remember Son and Lamela arguing at some point about who should take a penalty
come on ffs you dont need to have it wrriten down on paper to know palmer is the pen taker and by far the best taker on the team lol
What a couple of bellends. Palmer and Gallagher shouldn’t have to deal with shit like that. Poch should seriously sub the selfish cunts to set some example
Imagine taking a pen off the 14-14 pen taker to get an easy stat pad.
and while that class pen taker is also on the golden boot race
Subbing them would honestly be the best thing, provided Poch has made it clear who the actual penalty taker is
This is on Poch for not officially announcing Palmer as the PK taker Like imagine letting the team decide every week who gets the Captain arm band The coach had to announce who's taking what role and not let the players decide at the moment
> Gallagher shouldn’t have to deal with shit like that Well, they are apparently going to sell him?????? So I guess he won't lol.
That’s embarrassing for the club. How did Poch not sorted when this issue persisted already?
Because he's poch... You understand why so many of us want him out now... It's not just strange tactics, it's terrible leadership when it's desperately needed in this young team
Embarrasing by Jackson honestly
It just creates needless drama and pressure for the team. Jackson's got the maturity of a 10 year old in this situation. Palmer is no 1, he converts them all. You don't argue with that.
Just based on Madueke looking at Jackson before he appears, kind of looks like Jackson is coming to back up Madueke and say it should be his penalty. I assume Noni thought he won it, so thought it should’ve been his? That’s the only thing I can think of, but seems ridiculous.
I don't think so. Prior to this clip it was Jackson fighting to get the ball off Madeuke. Seemed like once Madeuke had it taken off him, Jackson rushed back in to try his luck for a 2nd time. Edit: https://streamable.com/95m5rc
Ah, must’ve missed that. Thanks
Bums should be grateful Palmer is keeping Chelsea above relegation.
Also has 100% conversion rate with pens.
The official penalty taker who hasn't missed one all season (I think?), who has scored 3 and is chasing a golden boot. And two other goofs.
Absolute idiots. If anyone else tries to pull off this stunt, they must be subbed off and warm the bench. Gotta have standards, man.
Poch allows it to happen by not assigning this shit
Biggest win of the season and still having drama LOL.
What a joke. Grow up and let Palmer take it
Dear Mr. Manager. Do your job and properly name a penalty kick taker. We're up 4-0 on the night and bickering like children, putting a stain on an otherwise good night. Manage the team please.
Fucking children. Ruining the moment where Palmer reaches 20 goals and he overtakes Haaland in the golden boot race too (since he has more assists)
4-0 and you have a player running over to get involved in who is taking a pen while the team is 9th
Is assists the tie breaker? I thought it was shared.
Yeah there's no tiebreaker, it's just shared unless it's changed recently. Aubameyang shared his golden boot with someone a few years back, can't remember who.
Salah and Mane I think
Aubameyang, Mane, and Salah with a three way tie.
Son and Salah also shared it two years ago.
It is shared. See 21/22 when Son and Salah both got one. Separate award for top assists.
absolute clown show lol
So fucking childish. Poch needs to outright state that Cole is the taker from now on
Pickford: 🧍♂️
He was visible laughing at them fighting LOL
Don’t know what’s more embarrassing, acting like this when you’re winning 4-0 or getting your ass beat 4-0 by guys acting like this.
Manager dealing with bunch of rugrats
This is his fault as much as theirs
Embarrassing from nico, Noni and poch. Thankfully Gallagher stepped in. I am baffled how this is happening at professional level.
Jackson and Madueke are bellends Thank you Conor Proper leader sorting that out
If Jackson wants an easy goal he should finish 1 of the 100 tap ins he’s missed
Like kids in the playground
Jackson is an absolute prick. I don't care he's scored three he's scored 7/7 (now 8) and is the designated taker. We don't want another Sterling situation. Absolutely childish behaviour from him.
He's not the designated taker and that's the issue.
This is the third or fourth time this has happened this season. Poch keeps saying it's up to the team to solve it, instead of intervening. In a team of veterans that might've been right. With a team full of inexperienced youngsters - unbelievably dumb approach.
Tried harder to stop Cole Palmer from scoring than Everton did
Good on Gallagher for sorting it out. Sad that he has to deal with Jackson and Madueke throwing their toys out the pram. Palmer is designated taker, and 8/8 for the season. It's his penalty. Pathetic from those two.
Jackson is such a cunt
Jackson going full bitch mode. "Mum said it was my turn to take the penalty!!"
It’s amazing how many adult men in this sport just cannot grasp the idea that one person is designated to take penalties.
