80 | Cole Palmer - 2022/23 Performances

[waspish]

Very different players though and Foden did what rarely happens at their ages and developed a burst of pace that Palmer doesn’t have. Palmer is all about creating half a yard and great finishing when he cuts in and that’s impossible for him from the left.

Tells us that those 2 can’t play on the opposite flank and that’s the case with Palmer if you want to see the best of him.

If you remember Foden first few games there we were saying the same! Maybe it will take palmer longer to understand that position but I believe and also most importantly Pep believes he can play there and improve, that must be a great confidence boost to the lad seeing pep mustn’t believe Mahres and Grealish can switch sides…

In a team as good as ours you take the minutes in any position you can get. Foden barely ever played on the left during his youth, he mainly played on the right or through the middle. But the only way he could get minutes in the first team was to play there and he took that chance and is now a key player for us.

Palmer is now in the same situation and he needs to make it count. Suggesting we need to sell a senior player to accommodate a youth player who has proven nothing so far is just silly.

It’s how much faith I’ve got in Palmer, he’s pretty much a Mahrez regen. Mahrez has been piss poor for ages now, back end of last season he was shit. The goal he scored at the Bernabeu disguised some shite performances. I don’t think it’s silly to suggest Palmer could have replaced Mahrez this season.

Yeah,i remember thinking that with Foden too. No doubt that sprint coach helped him as originally he wouldn’t have been quick enough to go on the outside of fullbacks from the left.

Liked to see palmer in that position for a full game and longer than the few minutes he is getting..

I'm hoping he'll get some starts this season if only in cup games, I really like the look of him, immense talent. I bet Dortmund have been sniffing around :(

starting for U21's soon, THB, too ...

Palmer looks like Palmer, doing great, stand out performance. Even his corner was sweetly taken. 2-0 England at HT on 2 Brewster goals - pen and a nice chip. Gallagher scrappy as usual.

Off after 70m - 2nd half has been all Italy. Palmer was moved front and center for his last 5 mins, challenged the keeper with a sudden long-range shot after the move. Still 2-0 Eng.
