Cole Palmer

I've been thinking about Wednesdays game and the difference between Jack and Coles performances. They both put in good crosses but neither of them really attacked the line. Cole at least tried to get past his man in the 2nd half but in the 1st half both players also came inside, dribbled a bit and laid the ball back to either the full backs or midfielders so as not to lose possession. Their wasn't a huge difference in their performance really. Cole took a few more risks, Jack lost possession less. I'd keep him & play him as much as Mahrez got...at least till January.

It's the losing possession thing that will drive Guardiola nuts. I didn't see too much difference between Mahrez and Palmer performances to be honest. Get the ball, draw defenders in then recycle across the pitch to where there is more space. Occasionally take the defender on, and occasionally top corner curler. He could easily take Mahrez's minutes imo. Actually, playing style and personality remind be of a younger Mahrez.

But wtf do I know?
 
I think the main question with Palmer is his mentality……this situation has echoes of Sancho. He needs to be patient and back his own ability this season, the squad is fairly light even if we bring in another player that can play in his position/central mid. I question his mentality as answering the media questions in the way he did would have pissed Pep off and it’s like he’s trying to tell the club / Pep what to do.

I like him but if he’s not on board with Pep then get rid quick as possible!

Foden steller perfomance shows that he is finally able to play the role centrally to his best. Pep has been training him and we will see his paitence pay off.

I really want Palmer to stay and not to push for move like Sancho. He is better off being little bit patient.

His interview from last year he set two year target to play regularly in first team as well.

I thought it was interesting Pep brought no subs off the bench on Saturday. I had expected Palmer at least to get some minutes, maybe if there was more than the single goal in it? Were we the only PL side this weekend not to make a single substitution?
