80 | Cole Palmer - 2022/23 Performances

[Blue and true]

It’s bizarre to see posters writing him off already. Seems like no one has any patience.

Others saying he’s shown no potential either. Really? He’s had quite a few standout performances for us. He’s barely played and needs some game time

I don't think anyone is writing him off, just adressing some areas of his game that need improving. There's still a vibe of teenage FIFA player about him; very tricky with the ball at his feet, but knows it and holds on to it too long sometimes. Once he learns to pass and move a little quicker he'll look the business.

Thought he did ok, but not at the level of the dippers match, and he still looks a bit tentative when he has the chance to take somebody on.

Sometimes he makes the difficult look easy, and the easy look difficult. Had he scored that chance in the first half I’m sure he would have grown into the game a lot more than he did.

Technically hes got the lot. But his decision making is poor, same as his performance today im afraid.

Cole is playing on the wrong side currently , and be learning the same way Foden did initially , he is far more comfortable on the right, and thats when we will see the best of him , for now he will be happy having some minutes

Learning the game well, is moved to accommodate others..
Whilst not his best performance, it was one of his more mature performances to date.

I’ve seen quite a few posts saying he’s not good enough or that he won’t make it. I just think he needs more game time - he hasn’t played enough

Steady without being spectacular.

He has the tools in his locker,the better decision making will come with experience.

Seems like the rest did him some good.

I still want Palmer playing RW, but Mahrez is the undisputed starter.

Also looks like Mahrez drifted centrally alot in the 2nd half, maybe an option in the future.

A few years ago when Pep briefly played a 352( i think at the turn of a year) it was maybe down to injuries at the tim Mahrez was played in midfield a couple of times and looked different class. Obviously he’s not suddenly going to play there again though.

 

[Craig]

Be nowhere near our team if pep thought he didn’t have it! He has it.

Garcia say hi. Do think Palmer has tons of ability though but his only chance at City’s level would be on the right.
