I'll forever believe that he's underappreciated. Maybe not as much by blues but certainly by football fans on the whole. Fans will see Palmer(whom I rate very highly) walk into Chelsea and be arguably their best player yet failed to really break into a far weaker squad than Phil broke into, and still say he wouldn't be the main man on an inferior team.
So good on the ball and despite maybe not hitting the back of the net as much as we'd like over the past year- he's still outperforming his xG over his career by a WIDE(+10) margin.
He came on and ran the second half , he played as a number ten , then centre forward and late ron the right wing , he covered three positions in 45 minutes and was superb , really affected the game ,its a pleasure to watch him in a blue shirt
He is the best naturally gifted English player since Gascoigne , the difference is Gascoigne was a dickhead and didnt achieve anywhere near what his skill set should have , Phil has his head screwed on and will break all records for an English player , trophies won . most caps etc. When waistcoat buggers off he will be the first name on an England team sheet for the next decade.
