If grading talent foden is a 10 palmer looking a 7.8

The talent is there in spades, but like Foden it will probably take a while before he's really up to speed.

He's had a great few days though. Hopefully there are plenty more to come!

What a weird post.

 

[Phoenix900000]

Very happy for him getting that goal :)

What did he do wrong ?

 

[ninjamonkey]

Just a lovely finisher, places his shots, Henry-like in that respect. If he's to be a regular though and possibly even a starter he will have to drastically up his work rate and intensity, made Grealish look like Bernardo on a mad one.

Can only imagine that will give him immense confidence and a sense of belonging. Great moment for him.

 

[MCFC1993]

Looking like his breakout season, 2 goals already this season, gets in some good scoring positions. Great for the other academy lads to see 2 academy lads out there. Give us more attacking depth for the rest of the season, allowing us to rest more players.

Given his performances he'll probably start against West Ham in the cup next week, that'll be a good test for him.

Happy for the lad. Seems he’s the next one. I still believe his best position is on the wing and not the middle but the goals while playing in the middle when he’s subbed on will do his confidence a world of good

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Delighted for the lad. There’s nothing better as a fan than watching someone come through the academy and do the business. A long way to go for him but scoring in the CL is a great start.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Needs to keep being given game time, already showing his worth. Just need Pep to show some faith in McAtee before he gives up and leaves.

 

[city warrior]

Good definition. I want to see him with our starters, but he’s making the most of the minutes Pep is giving him.

Buzzing he scored tonight, got a lot of potential this kid. I think like Foden he needs to stay at City, bide his time and keep on learning and developing and he will get his chances

 

[Semper aggressus]

He looked good tonight, superb finish for his goal and looked willing to press. A very good start.

 

[Nihilist]

Hope to see him more often

 

[Franny Ypres]

Such a nonchalant finisher. You have to be good to make it look as easy as he does.

 

[domalino]

Hope to see him more often

A few pages ago I listed Foden's first 15 league appearances and there's a really clear pattern that he got <5 minute cameos in close games and 15-20 minutes in games where there was a 3 goal lead.

So it's up to the first team to score the goals. If they do, Palmer will get on the pitch.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

We’ve got another gem on our hands. We’ve got some of the best young talent in England and what’s great is most of them are local as well

 

[oldius]

He makes stuff happen and scores goals

 

[Agueroooo9320]

Looks as good if not better than Phil did at his age

that is a joke of a post underestimating the talent Phil is. Phil was miles better than him at his age. he was thought of a generational talent from when he was about 10. Cole is nowhere near his natural talent but can become a great player for us but I doubt he can ever come close to the levels that Phil is showing now.
