It's not really relevant to the decision of handball or not, but I'm pretty sure the deflection took the ball closer to the goal.Looks a clear handball in replays. Arms away from the body, changing direction of a shot on goal, and enough distance from the free-kick taker too.

He was nullified yesterday wasnt he? I would say when he comes up against top line opposition, RM, Barca, Bayern, City etc, he isnt as good. But lets see. He's already surprised me with getting better and better since he went to chelsea.
I still think this time next year, when the goals are not going in, and the focus is off him, that he will be no better than Sterling is now.
Ill tell you this though, if he performs the way he has but at City, the media would NOT be fawning over it. Its how divisive they are, so I do NOT believe them when they tell me this is one of the best players in the country that City let go... He's having a very good period where all his ducks have lined up. Left City, now able to play as much as he wants, everyone tells him he's brilliant, he takes the pens, positive coverage.
Thats the total opposite of what City players get, even to the point now that Foden is being compared unfavourably to Palmer. Wtf, its how our media pick the England team.
Palmer will be nothing this time next year when the media have stopped using him as some sort of totem against City

This is pure revisionism. Jesus and Zinchenko started well last season then fizzled out; at no point did they receive the kind of plaudits Palmer is now receiving. I thought Palmer was brilliant yesterday, and were it not for Jackson's atrocious finishing would have had two assists to his name.Palmer this season = Zinchenko & Jesus last season
Oh no, City shouldn't have sold them to Arsenal they're top quality - fast forward 12 months - Arsenal looking to off-load the pair.

Class in what way? I thought he was respectful to City, liked seeing him laughing and joking wioth our boys, but what was class about him yesterday? Maybe I missed something. I didnt miss his sublime turn, then poor shot btw. But what else did he do?Was fucking class to be honest

They played on Wednesday in a huge Champions League game and were running on empty..Bernie scored the winning goal so had more influence than Palmer too...as everyone judges Palmer on his goalsYeah he was shite wasn’t he? Bernado, Phil and KDB were much better on the day weren’t they? x

Same here. Iv seen them come and go over the years and its usally fuelled by the media making someone into something they are mnot.... Bellingham, Toney, etc.I just think that he has to avoid becoming a one season wonder.
But yes I can easily see Palmer become what Sterling is now, or Jesus, or Zinny... If you played for City once and you are not pulling worldies - then you are the enemy.. Is what I am seeing at the moment,
Palmer could end up being like Juan Mata - fantastic in a team that isn't good enough to win the league.
Chelsea have to improve a lot to even challenge. If/when they get to that level, he may find himself on their bench or sold. We don't know yet though, and he's making as good a go if it as he possibly could.

form is temporary, class is permanent.I just think that he has to avoid becoming a one season wonder.
one of a growing list of exceptional youngsters produced by our academy.
Zinnie and Gabby reached their peak with us. Cole has some more gears to go through yet before he reaches his full potential which is really high.
