Palmer is the quality that Chelsea are lacking. They need someone with a bit of class and creativity.

Without Carney and Nkunku, Palmer and Enzo are the only players who can create through the middle. I don’t understand why he didn’t starting over Gallagher. Poch is forcing Enzo into basically playing off the striker when his best role is a big deeper. Drop Gallagher, move Enzo back and play Palmer in the 10.
 
Yes. It was very clear that if he had to think, he panicked. All his best efforts were instinctive.

Sterling if he has no time to think is a world class finisher. If he has time to think he’s no better than a league 2 player. His whole game is based on instincts.

world class is a term that is thrown around far to easily, sterling while a very good player does not have any world class aspects to his game
 
With the greatest respect to him, Connor Gallagher is not and never will be, a captain.

The influence of a good skipper should never be downplayed.

Kompany, Stam, Adams, Terry, Vieira, Keane to name but a few. All worth 10 points, solely from their presence on the field.

All that money spent and not one leader on the pitch
 
It's reported that they want to build a 100 point team the fifa thing I was ad-libbing
Yeah, I got that, it was the method of selecting the players that made me wonder….could it really be true? Boehly gives every impression that it could be.

I don't think that's true. His dribbling is genuinely world class, but if he's constantly receiving the ball with his back to goal or being double marked because our right side offers little threat then he can be contained.

It's been explained before but Thiago Silva is the de facto captain of the team. The armband doesn't really mean much in that sense, because the leaders will always still lead. If you had taken the armband off Kompany and given it to Sterling for example, Kompany would still be the de factor leader of the team. Enzo, as young as he is, is a leader. Chilwell, whatever one thinks of his quality as a player, is one of the leaders. So is Reece James but obviously he can't stay fit.

Poch literally said about naming Gallagher captain that between him and Enzo he picked Gallagher because he speaks English and can speak to refs, which tells me Enzo is actually the one he wanted to pick but his language skills isn't there yet to be the official captain.
