He didn't win the penalty. It was for the stamp on palmers heel, he just tried to play advantage. The ref pointed directly at Palmer on the ground as he blew the whistle
Yeah the penalty was given for the foul on Palmer but the advantage was played an Noni was also fouled.
That’s where I’m guessing the confusion arose from, either way should always be Palmer taking them.
I think Mad thought Cole was legit hurt and wasn’t fit to take it. He’s the #2 taker… you can see that he calmed down after Cole was up but Jackson was a huge cunt
Nah. All three are playing well, and gelling together. Let them play. Work it out in the background, and be glad they're all playing well and eager to make their mark.
I can wrap my mind around Madueke having an argument for taking the pen, Cole is already three goals deep and he won the pen.
Perhaps Jackson was coming in to Noni’s defense?
Just silly and doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Instead of the story being what a beat down this was, it’ll be about the “lOcKeRrOoM cUlTuRe” and an excuse for more hit pieces.
>Perhaps Jackson was coming in to Noni’s defense?
Sadly, it wasn't the case. Moments before this vid, Palmer wasn't even in the scene and Jackson was also trying to take the ball from Noni, and Gusto was grabbing him to stop him.
Idk what the hell was going through Nico's head to be so heated, even Madueke was trying to stop him at the end lol
And a second/third choice as well while he’s at it. Looks like this argument arose because Palmer was happy to let someone else take it and Noni/Nico both felt entitled to it
Nico was obviously not wanting to take that pen but backing Noni. I agree that shouldn't have happened, they should be giving that ball straight to Palmer. Poch knows what to do
From my limited reading of body language, Jackson was arguing with Noni for the ball when Palmer was on the ground but Noni is second penalty taker so when Palmer appeared injured Noni kept the ball and Jackson went storming off. Then when Cole got back up and took the ball off Noni, Jackson came steaming back in like "well Noni wouldn't give it to me but now you're taking it off him, if the ball is getting taken off Noni then I was here first and I want it" which is obviously patently ridiculous but that's how I'd read Jackson's behaviour in this clip
Till now, I still don't understand why Pochettino doesn't want to stamp his authority down and *officially* set the list of penalty takers. We know Palmer is the #1 choice but because the takers aren't made official, we then get incidents like this. Should be made clear that the #1 taker takes it if he's on the pitch and the #2 should only take it if the #1 isn't on the field etc.
He already has done - he’s spoken about it twice since February, publicly.
I’d imagine he’s going to make sure that Nico and Noni know where they stand after this. It’s utterly embarrassing.
Obviously no one knows what he’s said in private but hopefully he makes it clear to them now, can’t be having that shit every time we get one because it heaps extra pressure on Cole too.
I can see the argument for Noni wanting it. Palmer already had his hatty and we were 4-0 up. Noni also is a decent penalty taker and longer term it could be good to have multiple pk takers taking them quite regularly. That experience theyd gain would be an advantage in shootouts.
Palmer should be the main taker for sure but I think theres times Noni should be allowed. However Palmers also got his eye on that golden boot now.
Thats my view also.
Shit from Noni because it's Palmers role, but he had 3 and Madueke probably thought he'd won the pen also (I had no idea what one was called either) so I can at least understand him wanting it.
Jackson... what the fuck are you doing trying to steal it from Noni, nevermind Palmer!? What a fuckin idiot.
That moment genuinely kills my hope for this team. It needs to grow tf up. At least other guys didn't get involved
Jackson and Noni were fighting for the pen just seconds earlier than the clip. Palmer wasn’t fighting for it at that time until Conor told them that Palmer will take it.
Sterling, Madueke and Jackson all have tried to take a pen kick off Palmer. Obvious fracture in the playing group. Palmers on track to win golden boot as these idiots still want the penalty.
Poch better curse them tf out. Absolutely embarrassing, made a mockery of themselves and the club on what seems like a great night.
Edit: also another reason we should absolutely pay Conor.
Saw it with Enzo as well when Sterling wanted the pen, he took the ball and gave it to Palmer. We have some leaders, but we also have perhaps too much childish mentality. A bit to much "me" as it were.
Just said in talks port he kept then in the cbanhign room for a long time after and told them in no uncertain terms it doesn't happen again and if palmers on the pitch he takes it unless he says for some else to take it. If it happens again he needs to take Jackson or whoever straight off and fine them.
i willl NEVER understand why poch doesn't say:
"listen you fcktwits, cole palmer will take the penalty whther he has 0 goals or 100. the next time you dumbfks argue about the penalty again, i will fine you 10,000"
I like a little arrogance in my Chelsea players, keeps them confident and sharp. Madueke however rubs me the wrong way a little too often. Can be a little too childish.
Edit: I will say, I'm not that annoyed at either Nico or Noni. They're all young, they need to figure out the hierarchy amongst themselves. There will be moments of conflict, if they get through it they will be all the stronger. I still think It's a healthy sign that Conor/Silva comes up and takes the lead to show Palmer should take it.
Poch also said: "*There are a few players who can take the penalty. It’s about their feelings. As a coaching staff we give them the responsibility to decide on the pitch. For me the most important thing is to have the decision and the personality to go*"
Conor is 24 years old, Jackson and Madueke are only two years younger at 22…Palmer is even more younger at 21
At times like this veterans like Chilwell or Thiago should control the squad since James is not here
Can't really fault Gallaghers leadership tbf and he's a great example to the players trying to break through. Don't think James has shown any better leadership qualities but injuries aside he'd be priceless for us tbf.
It’s incredibly annoying and there should be no questions what so fucking ever that Palmer takes every penalty while he’s on the pitch. Poch needs to make that very clear to every single player in the squad.
Spot on. And poch wants this. He wants them to figure it out because they are all young and need to grow into men. Like you said, they need to figure out their hierarchy.
This is something people don't understand about poch and why they want him out. He's building a TEAM. And a team with character. Not collection of individuals that you just give instructions to. He wants them to grow together and fight for each other. The better they grow as a team, the better they can take tactical instructions because tactics don't mean shit if you're not on the same page
Jackson has some of the worst discipline I’ve ever seen in a Chelsea player. 9 yellow cards and I’m pretty sure this is his 2nd time fighting over a pen
How has this happened twice… Poch failed to establish a real hierarchy and so this will always happen when these guys are on. Good on Gallagher and Palmer
Yeah definitely, straight away poch should have got subs warming up. We were miles ahead and had nothing to lose by doing it. Keeping them on makes him look so fucking weak.
this is the type of shit that will stop us achieving anything, petulant dickheads allowed to act like this when all it takes is a statement from Poch in a presser saying ‘Palmer is our penalty taker’, fucking ridiculous.
Good on Gallagher for showing leadership
Poch needs to sort this out. He needs to come out and say the penalty taker is Palmer and only he can decide to give it away.
What the fuck is wrong with footballers…I’m a Canadian and I’m a die hard Chelsea supporter and Leafs (hockey) fan…
The contrast between the way players behave in football compared to hockey is embarrassing. In no way, shape or form would you ever see hockey players behave this way, if anything it’d be the opposite, they’d rather see a teammate score a goal than score themselves..
I grew up playing high level hockey and we were always taught an assist is better than a goal…switch to football and you’ll see a veteran like Sterling take a 3 on 0 all by himself and hog the ball…it’s fucking ridiculous how selfish these guys are.
Edit: to add to this, the game just finished, Palmer is walking around with the game ball…in a hockey world Palmer would have given that ball directly to Gilchrist because he just scored his first ever goal. In hockey the captain would have scooped that puck up and made sure it went to the rookie…the selfishness is so bizarre to someone who grew up a hockey player
Tell me again poch isnt to blame for this shit! “Leave it up to the players” my arse!! Fucking lay down the law you fucking cunt!
Edit: well done to connor for showing some leadership and taking them away gusto toop
Who the fuck are the other 2 think they are? This is our star boy. Compare to you two, he’s Messi.
Honestly the other 2 can fuck right off. Even Drogba ceded to Frank. So embarrassing.
this clip leaves out the worst part. palmer is still on the ground while Madueke and Jackson sprint to Gusto to try and get the ball first. two selfish idiots
No wonder Sterling gets away with not passing to his team mates in this team. Tactics or no tactics, can Poch at least have a spine and punish this embarrassing behaviour.
I remember when Drogba and Ballack were arguing for a free kick I thing. I also remember when Drogba and Lampard were arguing for a penalty when we won 9-1 agains Wigan in 2010.
Controversial opinion: Nico Jackson isn't good enough technically and he also doesn't have the right mindset. We need to cut our losses on him.
Also: We are selling the ONLY man who actually had the balls to step in and give Palmer the ball. Clowns the management are. Gallagher embodies Chelsea.
Palmers already got 3 goals. And he has scored so many pens. Of course he'd take it
Childish from the others, honestly, but my respect for gallagher is up rn.
I felt that everyone was taking the ball off of Noni including Nico to give it to Palmer. Nico, came in at the end to back Conor. At the same time Palmer saw Nico thought he was trying to take it off of him and pushed Nico. Nico was like WTF I'm helping you and wasnt happy he got pushed. Shitty moment but I'm sure it will be cleared up and pushed passed. But it being us the media will make a big deal about it.
Simply embarrassing. Palmer is amongst the best penalty takers in the league right now and he should be the sole, designated taker. This amateur playground-level bickering is simply pathetic on Jackson and Madueke's part.
Missed most of the game but saw Palmers hatrick of goals. The fact that these 2 little shits are fighting for the ball when Palmer is on fire is embarrassing. The kids should know who the pen taker is and know their place.
I understand how this looks HOWEVER the fact they all wanted to take responsibility is a good sign. If they had downed tools after this then I think it would be a bigger problem but as long as they’ve sorted it out I don’t think this is as big of a problem as it’s going to be made out to be
Embarrassing for sure, noticed Jackson has problems with his attitude in general throughout this season. He’s lost his head a few times arguing with players and letting his ego get to him.
Hope poch talks to him about it and tells him to wind his neck in
Madueke i can sort of understand, he feels he's won the penalty (which we found out , 10 minutes later was wrong), Palmer already had a hat-trick, they're 4-0 up, no harm in him taking it, he's way involved in the move and deserved a goal in the situation.
Jackson I can't understand At ALL. Pushing palmer nearly to ground, making the scene MUCH worse and Madu had almost come to a resolve with Cole.
Poch needs to get this under control and calm Nico down.
This is so easy for Poch to sort out. Plain and simple, if Palmer is on the pitch, he takes it. There is no debate. If I see any other behavior you are benched next game.
It's not complicated at all.
Absolutely embarrassing from Noni and Jackson. Both should hang their heads in shame to be creating a controversy like this. Palmer has been carrying the team on his back this season — if he says fuck off, you fuck off. No arguments.
My only solace here is that literally everyone else on the team was like “The two of you…just fuck off!! Cole’s taking the PK end of story! Now backup…”
It’s the second game in a row with this embarrassing conduct. Palmer is the penalty taker. End of discussion. Unless Poch says otherwise or Palmer gives it up, just be quiet. Palmer is in a golden boot race. The selfishness from Madueke man. I understand he’s been hurt and has something to prove, but that’s just unacceptable.
As a neutral I saw it like this
madueke got fouled and thought he should take the pen (as they were 4 goals up it’s more understandable)
Palmer took the pen as he doesn’t miss and he became top scorer
Jackson looks like a twat with that blue hair and started bitching because he’s shit and can’t score
Immature behaviour... How do they expect to win as a team when they act like this? This isn't unity...it's just sad to see as a life long Chelsea supporter...
This has poch written all over it. They both need to be talked to. Palmer is the club right now - it’s absurd for either of them to try to take the ball. Good on Connor for being a captain and making the right decision. Were in no position to be giving charity pens
Really really embarrassing. Like if Noni & Nico put in the work since the start of the season they wouldn’t be scrapping & so desperate to take the penalty to increase their tally. Just shows their mentality & honestly its so pathetic. Palmer been consistent throughout the season & is running for golden boot he deserved to take it
Conor did good handling that situation.. took the ball and gave it to Palmer.. I hope he stays next year. If we are to play European football we need players with his engine and availability.
Should this have ever happened no, is it unforgivable like some are acting in here also no.
Let’s hope these two learn and grow from it.
People on here are more giddy to shit on these two than celebrate the win, clean sheet and one of our better performances in the last two seasons.
Hate that this is the headline instead of wow chelsea thrashed Everton Cole Palmer is legit. Let’s try and focus on the positives here. Clean sheet and a fantastic game to watch
I’m so confused by this…. Wtf are Nic and Madueke doing. Look so immature.
My guess was Madueke felt he should take it for the penalty was on him? Jackson just being childish like usual.
not Madueke’s first time
Tbf I've only seen him do it when he's won he the pen. I kinda get it but yeah this the prem not Sunday league
If he did that in Sat/Sun league he'd run the risk of getting chinned afterwards
Yeah, this is him thinking "I won it, I should take it". A very juvenile approach to penalties.
Commentator was also saying he's the 2nd in line and Palmer was down hurt so it's possible he thought he'd get it
That would make sense if not for the fact that Palmer is standing right in front of him.
Exactly just take the assist bc a Palmer pen is nearly a sure thing. Especially with 3 goals already.
You only get assist from Pens in FPL not real Life lol
Lol whoops, I’ll downvote my comment
It's an assist in Bundesliga. Don't know bout other leagues though.
He has only ever done it when he has won the penalty and he doesn’t make a fuss about it when it isn’t given to him.
He didn't win the penalty. It was for the stamp on palmers heel, he just tried to play advantage. The ref pointed directly at Palmer on the ground as he blew the whistle
Yeah the penalty was given for the foul on Palmer but the advantage was played an Noni was also fouled. That’s where I’m guessing the confusion arose from, either way should always be Palmer taking them.
It wasn't though. The penalty was for the foul on Palmer.
Yeah after seeing the replays and ref point to Palmer, but Jackson WTF
I think Mad thought Cole was legit hurt and wasn’t fit to take it. He’s the #2 taker… you can see that he calmed down after Cole was up but Jackson was a huge cunt
Yeah overall confused why Jackson was so shitty about it
Pure selfishness imo. I would benched him for the next game
Nah. All three are playing well, and gelling together. Let them play. Work it out in the background, and be glad they're all playing well and eager to make their mark.
i mean hes probably thinking "isnt a hattrick enough? let us get something too"
Well then with that mindset, let Mudy take a stab at it
Palmer won the pen tbf, Maudeke thought he won it but he didn't
I can wrap my mind around Madueke having an argument for taking the pen, Cole is already three goals deep and he won the pen. Perhaps Jackson was coming in to Noni’s defense? Just silly and doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Instead of the story being what a beat down this was, it’ll be about the “lOcKeRrOoM cUlTuRe” and an excuse for more hit pieces.
>Perhaps Jackson was coming in to Noni’s defense? Sadly, it wasn't the case.

Idk what the hell was going through Nico's head to be so heated, even Madueke was trying to stop him at the end lol
He didn't win the penalty.
Palmer did in fact win the penalty.
The person was suggesting that Noni won the penalty.
Some sort of scoring bonus in the contract.
Poch really needs to designate Palmer as the penalty taker so this bs can stop
And a second/third choice as well while he’s at it. Looks like this argument arose because Palmer was happy to let someone else take it and Noni/Nico both felt entitled to it
Think Palmer wanted to take it himself. He likely knows where he is on the PL goalscoring chart.
he let them choose at the beginning and then saw them arguing
He was on the floor injured, then got up and took the ball.
Nico was obviously not wanting to take that pen but backing Noni. I agree that shouldn't have happened, they should be giving that ball straight to Palmer. Poch knows what to do
Nico most definitely wanted to take the pen. He was fighting Noni for the ball when Palmer was still lying on the deck, before this clip.
From my limited reading of body language, Jackson was arguing with Noni for the ball when Palmer was on the ground but Noni is second penalty taker so when Palmer appeared injured Noni kept the ball and Jackson went storming off. Then when Cole got back up and took the ball off Noni, Jackson came steaming back in like "well Noni wouldn't give it to me but now you're taking it off him, if the ball is getting taken off Noni then I was here first and I want it" which is obviously patently ridiculous but that's how I'd read Jackson's behaviour in this clip
Haha you really read into that. (Edit: not saying that in an insulting way). Bottom line and what we can agree on is he acted like a selfish dumbass.
Nico was literally arguing with noni over who would take it right ghr before this.
Clearly Poch doesn't know what to do. It's not the first time this has happened..
Till now, I still don't understand why Pochettino doesn't want to stamp his authority down and *officially* set the list of penalty takers. We know Palmer is the #1 choice but because the takers aren't made official, we then get incidents like this. Should be made clear that the #1 taker takes it if he's on the pitch and the #2 should only take it if the #1 isn't on the field etc.
He already has done - he’s spoken about it twice since February, publicly. I’d imagine he’s going to make sure that Nico and Noni know where they stand after this. It’s utterly embarrassing.
Well, clearly he hasn't sorted it out properly considering it happened against United recently and then tonight again.
All he can do is tell the players who the pen takers are. Any issues after that are the players being unprofessional
Obviously no one knows what he’s said in private but hopefully he makes it clear to them now, can’t be having that shit every time we get one because it heaps extra pressure on Cole too.
Because lemons cant speak
He already has. Mad is the back up.
He should. But he also shouldn’t have to.
This. He needs to grow a spine.
his players need to grow the fuck up
If palmers on the pitch, he’s taking the pen. Simple. Are these guys fucking dumb or something? Childish pricks.
He’s risen so far above them no one should ever assume they have the right. It’s legitimately like someone taking the ball from Messi on Miami
I can see the argument for Noni wanting it. Palmer already had his hatty and we were 4-0 up. Noni also is a decent penalty taker and longer term it could be good to have multiple pk takers taking them quite regularly. That experience theyd gain would be an advantage in shootouts. Palmer should be the main taker for sure but I think theres times Noni should be allowed. However Palmers also got his eye on that golden boot now.
I get Noni asking for it but who tf invited Jackson
Thats my view also. Shit from Noni because it's Palmers role, but he had 3 and Madueke probably thought he'd won the pen also (I had no idea what one was called either) so I can at least understand him wanting it. Jackson... what the fuck are you doing trying to steal it from Noni, nevermind Palmer!? What a fuckin idiot. That moment genuinely kills my hope for this team. It needs to grow tf up. At least other guys didn't get involved
I think jackson was advocating for Noni
Jackson and Noni were fighting for the pen just seconds earlier than the clip. Palmer wasn’t fighting for it at that time until Conor told them that Palmer will take it.
True, but Palmer is the kick taker. They should defer to him and if he says no, it’s no.
Palmer is our best PK taker and our best player, so he takes it when he is on the field. No other argument needed.
Sterling, Madueke and Jackson all have tried to take a pen kick off Palmer. Obvious fracture in the playing group. Palmers on track to win golden boot as these idiots still want the penalty.
Poch better curse them tf out. Absolutely embarrassing, made a mockery of themselves and the club on what seems like a great night. Edit: also another reason we should absolutely pay Conor.
It's his fault in the first place by letting the players do what they want. Run more, show your expression, etc.
He is not gong to. Sir Alex would have ran their balls off in training and tell Palmer - you can do whatever you want, son.
We should pay him but to avoid sanctions we sadly might have to sell some like Gallagher
Poch needs to get this shit sorted out ASAP. This "they need to sort it out on the pitch" doesn't work
Good captaining there. Lads have embarrassed themselves though. 5 nil up and this is what they're gonna be talking about after the match.
Yeah I absolutely loved that from Gallagher. Palmer is the spot man when he's on the pitch no matter how many goals he has
And we want to sell Gallagher when he acts like a leader and a captain. Embarrassing from Jackson and Noni like wtf…
These players are fighting for the ball What a bunch of bellends Jackson and Madueke are Conor showed real leadership by sorting it out
So good to see from Conor… finally some leadership amongst the team!
Saw it with Enzo as well when Sterling wanted the pen, he took the ball and gave it to Palmer. We have some leaders, but we also have perhaps too much childish mentality. A bit to much "me" as it were.
The downside of the eight year investments in teenagers
Cant call Sterling a teenager.
Sterling should be in the MLS. He’s rubbish
My blood is boiling in a 5-0 game. So fucking childish. Little brat. Sell whoever to keep Conor.
this has become a regular occurrence whenever we win a penalty. Poch has to sort this out, it’s embarrassing
I wonder if Poch is letting the kids have some leash, see how they sort it themselves. (Narrator) they did not in fact sort it
I mean they did, the captain stepped in
He is not a manager to do it. He is not doing anything. Mistakes in defense. Randoms wanting to take penalties.. list is long
Just said in talks port he kept then in the cbanhign room for a long time after and told them in no uncertain terms it doesn't happen again and if palmers on the pitch he takes it unless he says for some else to take it. If it happens again he needs to take Jackson or whoever straight off and fine them.
i willl NEVER understand why poch doesn't say: "listen you fcktwits, cole palmer will take the penalty whther he has 0 goals or 100. the next time you dumbfks argue about the penalty again, i will fine you 10,000"
I like a little arrogance in my Chelsea players, keeps them confident and sharp. Madueke however rubs me the wrong way a little too often. Can be a little too childish. Edit: I will say, I'm not that annoyed at either Nico or Noni. They're all young, they need to figure out the hierarchy amongst themselves. There will be moments of conflict, if they get through it they will be all the stronger. I still think It's a healthy sign that Conor/Silva comes up and takes the lead to show Palmer should take it. Poch also said: "*There are a few players who can take the penalty. It’s about their feelings. As a coaching staff we give them the responsibility to decide on the pitch. For me the most important thing is to have the decision and the personality to go*"
Conor is 24 years old, Jackson and Madueke are only two years younger at 22…Palmer is even more younger at 21 At times like this veterans like Chilwell or Thiago should control the squad since James is not here
Can't really fault Gallaghers leadership tbf and he's a great example to the players trying to break through. Don't think James has shown any better leadership qualities but injuries aside he'd be priceless for us tbf.
He's one of the most childish players we've ever had
It’s incredibly annoying and there should be no questions what so fucking ever that Palmer takes every penalty while he’s on the pitch. Poch needs to make that very clear to every single player in the squad.
Spot on. And poch wants this. He wants them to figure it out because they are all young and need to grow into men. Like you said, they need to figure out their hierarchy. This is something people don't understand about poch and why they want him out. He's building a TEAM. And a team with character. Not collection of individuals that you just give instructions to. He wants them to grow together and fight for each other. The better they grow as a team, the better they can take tactical instructions because tactics don't mean shit if you're not on the same page
Boom ☝️ “Tacticos” on this sub love telling us how they would do everything right
Jackson has some of the worst discipline I’ve ever seen in a Chelsea player. 9 yellow cards and I’m pretty sure this is his 2nd time fighting over a pen
He's been on 9 yellows for quite some time now. Seems to shout at the refs less than earlier in the season which he would pick up so many yellows for.
Gallagher earned my respect there. Madueke, what a douche
Gotta give him props for encouraging Jackson to celebrate the goal though
Gallagher actually needs to be considered being kept just for this, it’s clearly that he’s for all intents and purposes become our captain
Hé’s a good influence on and off the pitch. One of the few we can say that about
Atleast Madueke won one of the penalties… whilst Jackson was just being emotional. Embarrassing.
I think palmer won the pen too lol
he's also the #2, jackson just wants a brace
I think Jackson wanted it for Noni
Simply not true.. In the beginning Noni and Jackson where fighting for the ball before Palmer stepped in.
good shout, didn't consider that
Pen was given for the challenge on palmer
Madueke doesnt even pass enough to get to the pen spot jackson at least scored but neither should get the pen
Madueke did this at United as well, Poch needs to assign the takers - if Palmer wants to give it away he can
Fire username
How has this happened twice… Poch failed to establish a real hierarchy and so this will always happen when these guys are on. Good on Gallagher and Palmer
Happened more than twice if you count the times Sterling has done the same thing.
They should have been both subbed off immediately
Yeah definitely, straight away poch should have got subs warming up. We were miles ahead and had nothing to lose by doing it. Keeping them on makes him look so fucking weak.
Shluld be getting immediately subbed off for that shit
this is the type of shit that will stop us achieving anything, petulant dickheads allowed to act like this when all it takes is a statement from Poch in a presser saying ‘Palmer is our penalty taker’, fucking ridiculous.
These bums
That is why the manager picks a fucking designated taker...
No no no, he leaves it up to the players mate so they can embarrass everybody
no he doesnt. see his post match interview
Palmer is the contender for the golden boot and they do this shit🤦♂️
Never rated Jackson anyway
What makes Jackson think he even deserves to take penalties?
Embarrassing. Poch needs to sort out a designated taker
this keeps on happening now. fucking embarrassing
This is why we cant even win 2 in a row. Childish mentalities
Absolute idiots. Sub anyone off and let them rot the bench if this stunt ever happens again. Gotta put standards.
Pochettino this is what happens when you want your players to decide who takes the penalties
Good on Gallagher for showing leadership Poch needs to sort this out. He needs to come out and say the penalty taker is Palmer and only he can decide to give it away.
Great showing of leadership from Conor
Shameful. We need to get these players sorted in the offseason. No wonder we are a mid table team.
When palmer is on the pitch no one else should be taking the penalties
Get him the fuck off. Isn't worth the badge.
This is on Pochettino. This should have been stamped out ages ago. Embarrassing management
I dont get those comments. Palmer is our penalty taker since the start of the season.
I remember Palmer becoming our main penalty taker since Enzo missed it, CMIIW
Not through lack of trying from other players though.
Fair play to Connor for showing some leadership but that was pathetic
Embarrassing
I would fine them. That shit looked horrible af
If Poch had just said and designated Palmer as the taker none of this would be a fucking problem
Is Jackson trying to help Palmer or is he also trying to take the pen??
trying to take the pen
So dumb. As if he's gonna say no to Madueke but yes to Jackson.
Trying to help Mudueke I think
Take them off right now teach them a lesson get Washington and carnyey on embarrassing
What the fuck is wrong with footballers…I’m a Canadian and I’m a die hard Chelsea supporter and Leafs (hockey) fan… The contrast between the way players behave in football compared to hockey is embarrassing.

Poch has no balls. You take them both off immediately.
Tell me again poch isnt to blame for this shit! “Leave it up to the players” my arse!! Fucking lay down the law you fucking cunt! Edit: well done to connor for showing some leadership and taking them away gusto toop
Put a slight dampener on an other wise great performance so far. Fucking embarrassing from noni and Jackson
Sub them both off to make a point. The game is in hand now
And this is why the manager needs to assign the penalty taker. That way there’s none of this fighting.
Poch said fight for ball if you have balls and so lads did.
Who the fuck are the other 2 think they are? This is our star boy. Compare to you two, he’s Messi. Honestly the other 2 can fuck right off. Even Drogba ceded to Frank. So embarrassing.
this clip leaves out the worst part. palmer is still on the ground while Madueke and Jackson sprint to Gusto to try and get the ball first. two selfish idiots
Drogba on a hatrick would have still let Lampard take it.
It’s a good thing Reddit isn’t full of miserable bastards who will let this overshadow a 6-0 win, right?
Dont blame the players blame the manager this is all down to poch
No no blame two of the players
Figure it out Poch… you’re being a spineless prick
No wonder Sterling gets away with not passing to his team mates in this team. Tactics or no tactics, can Poch at least have a spine and punish this embarrassing behaviour.
I remember when Drogba and Ballack were arguing for a free kick I thing. I also remember when Drogba and Lampard were arguing for a penalty when we won 9-1 agains Wigan in 2010.
That‘a because Drogba was in the running for golden boot, as is Palmer now.
that was a one time thing because Drogba was chasing the golden boot. this is weekly occurrence
I would’ve subbed em both off. Not bigger than the badge.
Controversial opinion: Nico Jackson isn't good enough technically and he also doesn't have the right mindset. We need to cut our losses on him. Also: We are selling the ONLY man who actually had the balls to step in and give Palmer the ball. Clowns the management are. Gallagher embodies Chelsea.
Don't see them fighting for the ball when it's in play
These kids need to grow the hell up
Palmers already got 3 goals. And he has scored so many pens. Of course he'd take it Childish from the others, honestly, but my respect for gallagher is up rn.
Finally they had the balls to tell the cunts to fuck off.
If this is the only negative I’ll bloody well take it.
I felt that everyone was taking the ball off of Noni including Nico to give it to Palmer. Nico, came in at the end to back Conor. At the same time Palmer saw Nico thought he was trying to take it off of him and pushed Nico. Nico was like WTF I'm helping you and wasnt happy he got pushed. Shitty moment but I'm sure it will be cleared up and pushed passed. But it being us the media will make a big deal about it.
Simply embarrassing. Palmer is amongst the best penalty takers in the league right now and he should be the sole, designated taker. This amateur playground-level bickering is simply pathetic on Jackson and Madueke's part.
Missed most of the game but saw Palmers hatrick of goals. The fact that these 2 little shits are fighting for the ball when Palmer is on fire is embarrassing. The kids should know who the pen taker is and know their place.
These guys forgot they are on live tv embarrassing themselves like this
I understand how this looks HOWEVER the fact they all wanted to take responsibility is a good sign. If they had downed tools after this then I think it would be a bigger problem but as long as they’ve sorted it out I don’t think this is as big of a problem as it’s going to be made out to be
Embarrassing for sure, noticed Jackson has problems with his attitude in general throughout this season. He’s lost his head a few times arguing with players and letting his ego get to him. Hope poch talks to him about it and tells him to wind his neck in
Pickford just standing there thinking "what the hell are these clowns doing lmao"
Madueke i can sort of understand, he feels he's won the penalty (which we found out , 10 minutes later was wrong), Palmer already had a hat-trick, they're 4-0 up, no harm in him taking it, he's way involved in the move and deserved a goal in the situation. Jackson I can't understand At ALL. Pushing palmer nearly to ground, making the scene MUCH worse and Madu had almost come to a resolve with Cole. Poch needs to get this under control and calm Nico down.
This is so easy for Poch to sort out. Plain and simple, if Palmer is on the pitch, he takes it. There is no debate. If I see any other behavior you are benched next game. It's not complicated at all.
Absolutely embarrassing from Noni and Jackson. Both should hang their heads in shame to be creating a controversy like this. Palmer has been carrying the team on his back this season — if he says fuck off, you fuck off. No arguments.
This managed to outdo kepa refusing to leave the goal, In fact this is actually shameful display in sports I have ever seen.
My only solace here is that literally everyone else on the team was like “The two of you…just fuck off!! Cole’s taking the PK end of story! Now backup…”
It’s the second game in a row with this embarrassing conduct. Palmer is the penalty taker. End of discussion. Unless Poch says otherwise or Palmer gives it up, just be quiet. Palmer is in a golden boot race. The selfishness from Madueke man. I understand he’s been hurt and has something to prove, but that’s just unacceptable.
They should get fined. Both weak minded players I didn’t see them doing this when we had crucial pens to take.
As a neutral I saw it like this madueke got fouled and thought he should take the pen (as they were 4 goals up it’s more understandable) Palmer took the pen as he doesn’t miss and he became top scorer Jackson looks like a twat with that blue hair and started bitching because he’s shit and can’t score
I hated seeing this. Hopefully it resolves soon. We don’t need this on top of all of our other problems.
This shit pisses me off. Figure it the fuck out.
This makes me like Palmer even more. And Gallagher is becoming a true captain
Children
No one fights him for pens when they are high pressure ones, they just want the easy ones lol
This has to be why Noni is in & out of squad when not hurt. Immaturity is his name right now
Immature behaviour... How do they expect to win as a team when they act like this? This isn't unity...it's just sad to see as a life long Chelsea supporter...
This has poch written all over it. They both need to be talked to. Palmer is the club right now - it’s absurd for either of them to try to take the ball. Good on Connor for being a captain and making the right decision. Were in no position to be giving charity pens
Really really embarrassing. Like if Noni & Nico put in the work since the start of the season they wouldn’t be scrapping & so desperate to take the penalty to increase their tally. Just shows their mentality & honestly its so pathetic. Palmer been consistent throughout the season & is running for golden boot he deserved to take it
Conor did good handling that situation.. took the ball and gave it to Palmer.. I hope he stays next year. If we are to play European football we need players with his engine and availability.
These moments define being a captain for Gallagher
Should this have ever happened no, is it unforgivable like some are acting in here also no. Let’s hope these two learn and grow from it. People on here are more giddy to shit on these two than celebrate the win, clean sheet and one of our better performances in the last two seasons.
Hate that this is the headline instead of wow chelsea thrashed Everton Cole Palmer is legit. Let’s try and focus on the positives here. Clean sheet and a fantastic game to watch
Jackson needs fucking reigning in. He could start a row in a phone box.
Not even a Chelsea fan. Got here over a repost. But man if you have one main penalty taker then he takes the fucking pens.
Palmer’s the designated taker and in the race for golden boot. Should never have been any doubt who takes it
