Plying his trade in the bottom half

Honestly, I mean I know he comes on here but to put that out on Twitter is fucking daft, if only we had Gundogan, Sergio,Vinny,Zab the list is endless but to harp on about Palmer is boring now, he does realise that he hardly played for us and that’s the main reason he’s gone doesn’t he?
 
Just pure class, one of Pep’s best ever signings. Even at 33 feels like he isn’t showing any signs of ageing. Complete full back, surgery the best in premier league history?
 
I’ve been studying Kyle over the past few weeks and whilst his speed is a tremendous asset, his positioning is becoming more and more concerning. He is regularly out of position and allows quick counter attacks, crosses and free headers or players running onto a shot at the far post. You could blame either him or Ruben today for the Luton goal but the reality is, he’s the captain and should be leading the team. I‘m not saying he should be dropped but he needs to up his game and indeed being dropped to the bench may give him the kick up the backside he needs.
I know the defence has looked shaky as a unit but teams attacking down their left / our right, either directly or switching play are definitely getting success they weren’t getting last year.
Fingers crossed it’s just a blip and he and the team tighten up defensively, lift the Club World Cup in a few weeks and start moving up the table ready for the return of King KDB. ( I know there’s only one King but I’m sensing a huge uplift in performance once the heir apparent returns )
 
My biggest gripe is why he insists on bombing forward knowing he hasn’t the skills needed to quickly and accurately put in a cross, needing to often stop the ball to gain control, or to (more often than not), play it backwards or sideways.

Kills the momentum every time

The speed of one cross today was like watching Mendy!
