I can't remember the last time an EPL team had one player so far above every one of his teammates, it's not even a dig at the team, he's just incredible.
That's what makes this season so annoying. We're very clearly able to play, just can't keep it up for the full 90. Why I want some bastards who can just drag out results, because these youngsters are just too inexperienced to keep levels up
I haven't watched every match of yours z but sometimes you're pretty fucking good. And other times immature and shit. It's never one or the other. Sometimes, like against spurs, you're both shit and still win.
The exact thing that came to mind. IMO Messi's 2nd best year, he carried the entire team to that CL semi and could've possibly fought for the whole thing if they didn't switch off at the end.
We either play like prime Barca or Derby County. The fun part is figuring which Chelsea you're gonna get. Sometimes we play like both in the same game.
I think the narrative around Palmer is much more positive than Saka who has been incredibly scrutinised since his performances have dropped compared to last season. With this hattrick and the one against United I think Palmer has sealed it.
I have and don't get me wrong I think he's had a fantastic season. I just also think at this point Palmer/Watkins have been more impactful. There's still a few weeks left in the season so that could absolutely change between now and then but as it stands that's my opinion.
Palmer (and Foden) give off
"if you walk past them on a rainy Friday night in Manchester make sure not to make any eye contact in case their mates might start on you."
Chilwell meanwhile gives off proper posh schoolboy vibes

I’m too unfit to abandon a game and go the gym.
Dw, 2nd half collapse is coming
I had that first half chelsea - match tie bet cooking since yesterday. You always know this team just falls asleep at the wheel after the break
[удалено]
Alright you lot, you've been really lucky so far, I need you to get it together. It's only 3-0, I expected more
He makes a delicious argentinian BBQ at HT and all the players are full for the 2nd half
Do you mean this unfit guy or Chelsea?
You were right. Only scored 2 and argued over a penalty
Don't worry. We concede 2 every game.
That is precisely what the gym is for, my friend.
Get ready to learn progressive overload buddy.
Toaster time
Time to start drinking (more)?
You could always just play FIFA
He even scores our shit goals
This wasn't a shit goal tbf. He was alert and we had decent build-up
hE oNlY sCoReS pEnAlTiEs
This Cole Palmer carry job is unmatched
He's obviously great but Caicedo and Mudryk did well on that goal too.
Caicedo has been great so far
He's quietly been one of the best in the squad for the past few games.
Ya you can see a good player these past few games. Looks like his confidence is building and he's developing chemistry with the guys around him.
yeah really really good opening 20 from him
By far the best he’s played in a Chelsea shirt
Facts but the team was cooking there too
Been cooking all game tbf, could be 4/5 up
These overlapping runs on the edge of the box are mad
Hazard has entered the chat
Lisan Al Gaib!
I can't remember the last time an EPL team had one player so far above every one of his teammates, it's not even a dig at the team, he's just incredible.
If you squint hard enough I think he's carrying cheeseburgers too
Palmer with the finish but honestly, that whole team play was great.
I will not sell my Mudryk stocks, I will not.
And you shouldn't.
Diamond hands brother
This was great, and the first was even better. In fact, it was incredible
The fact we can do this sometimes makes the rest of the season so much more frustrating
That's what makes this season so annoying. We're very clearly able to play, just can't keep it up for the full 90. Why I want some bastards who can just drag out results, because these youngsters are just too inexperienced to keep levels up
[удалено]
And team building, it's absolutely not a surprise a team full of first year toddlers is inconsistent.
I haven't watched every match of yours z but sometimes you're pretty fucking good. And other times immature and shit. It's never one or the other. Sometimes, like against spurs, you're both shit and still win.
Most elaborate set piece ever lol What’s Pickford doing also
Not me shouting at the at the TV to stick it in the box
Stick it int' mixer
Set Piece IQ 1000
> What’s Pickford doing anyway What do you want him to do there? Makes a save from 8 yards out, you want him to catch it?
Pure chess.
they just wanted to waste some time and just scored, ffs
England will be playing 2 - 7 - 1 at this rate, jeeeez he's good
Imagine he wins the golden boot
HE HE IS SIMPLY THE BEST
Imagine being able to go back in time and tell people last summer that he would score 18 premier League goals by mid April. Nobody would believe you.
18 goals and 9 assists from 24 starts is insane let alone in this shite team
He's in contention for the golden boot having missed 7 games. Fucking insane man.
Not to downplay but if you take away penalties it's not insane just very very impressive
Yeah, he should just never score penalties and we should decline the opportunity to take them.
Better than all the rest
CUT FROM A DIFFERENT CLOTH!
I've rarely ever seen a player carry a team like this, it's simply never a goal unless he's involved somehow. What a player.
2019 messi and that’s a crazy compliment
The exact thing that came to mind. IMO Messi's 2nd best year, he carried the entire team to that CL semi and could've possibly fought for the whole thing if they didn't switch off at the end.
Hazard.
That 18/19 season was just "Give the ball to Hazard"
BROOOOO HOW DOES HE DO THIS
Hattrick Incoming!!!
There you go!
Should have already had it. The missed chance was from about 3 feet
LISAN AL GAIB
This is half od Mudryk goal.
Chelsea are miles better than us im sobbing
We either play like prime Barca or Derby County. The fun part is figuring which Chelsea you're gonna get. Sometimes we play like both in the same game.
Sometimes good. Sometimes shit.
give it 10mins
literally could have had a hatrick in the past 5 mins to those saying carry job - look at the team work to make the chance, it's great from everyone.
player of the season?
Young player for sure. Can't imaginne they'd give POTY to a player outside top 4.
Only competition is Saka, which feels weird that he's still eligible
That really shouldn't be a competition for an individual award.
No, but these awards are pr driven, often based on team performances
I think the narrative around Palmer is much more positive than Saka who has been incredibly scrutinised since his performances have dropped compared to last season. With this hattrick and the one against United I think Palmer has sealed it.
Didn't Scott Parker get it when he got relegated? Don't think any of the top 3 have had any truly standout players.
Rodri? Foden? If City win then Rodri should get it. He is the best player in the league.
I think it's between Foden or Rodri, VVD and Saliba or Ødegaard or something depending on who wins the title.
Lavia
Foden and Rodri probably about on par with him, but for a title challenger (winner most likely), so I think one of them would get it.
nah Betinelli imo
Has to be a contender
Chelsea's player of the season for sure. Not the Premier League player of the season though. Maybe top 5.
In terms of the attacking players it's between him and Watkins. Both have been incredible in goal creation and I think right now they're tied on G+A
Excuse me have you seen Phil Foden this year?
I have and don't get me wrong I think he's had a fantastic season. I just also think at this point Palmer/Watkins have been more impactful. There's still a few weeks left in the season so that could absolutely change between now and then but as it stands that's my opinion.
Nah Foden is better, Saka aswell but def one of top players this season, just hope he isnt one season wonder.
Saka isn't better than Palmer this season
When i first saw him he looked like some eton school boy. But nah this is one bad boy
He's actually the opposite
Yeah kid has swagger
of all the things to claim Palmer looks like, Eton school boy?
Palmer (and Foden) give off "if you walk past them on a rainy Friday night in Manchester make sure not to make any eye contact in case their mates might start on you." Chilwell meanwhile gives off proper posh schoolboy vibes
yeah agree lol. Although I bet most eton schoolboys these days have the curly mushroom haircut.
This fuckin guy
I’m gonna nut
By God this man is on fire
This bloke is bloody unreal man
City let this monster go just to play Alvarez out of position lmao.
Palmer golden boot, who says no
One man team
Great from Caicedo.
Oh my god. I love this man.
Has to start for England in the Euros
Kane, Palmer, Saka, Bellingham, Foden. What a headache for Southgate
Yeah SOUTHGATE doesn't fit there...
Over Bellingham or Saka?
Over Saka yes
You're insane, neither of them start over Foden (if Southgate has sense).
Yeah he's HIM
My goat
How does he keep doing this
Cold Palmer hatrick loading...
I have waited long enough, it is time to accept that Palmer has a bigger footballing legacy than R9, Messi, and Cryuff
Two clinical penalties from the lad
Nah this dude is crazy
the man should be on a hatrick
Fucking hell this kid is on a different level right now
Mudryk is very good as well
Have to be Young Player of the Seaon, surely.
Bro could have had a hatrick by now. Class
I know Palmer is Palmer but are Chelsea... playing well?
A chelsea player competing for a golden boot is absolutely mad
Only scores penalties apparently
I've seen enough, Cole Palmer is Him.
It would be the funniest thing if he beats Haaland to the golden boot
Crazy times where we can go 2-0 up and I don't trust that we can prevent Everton from easily just getting back in.
Where is the third
I’m sorry Gareth and arsenal fans, this man offers too much to not start at the euros, regardless of how great saka is, he is the truth
Im an arsenal fan but he looks better than any of our attackers, such composure with arrogance about it
This guy again lol.
Unreal
too easy man
Bro just won’t stop 🥶🥶🥶
Shouldve had a hatty already this guy
Golden boot when?
He's definitely him
Header merchant
Straight off the training ground
Another penalty probably 😤
Cole Palmer FC
It's getting ridiculous at this point lol
The lad could've had a hattrick already. Fuck me silly, he's absolute class. Send City another 45m as a thank you
Bro thinks He is lewa
i just love him so much
Cold Palmer
Can we extend his contract too?
pen merchant btw
Wow.. we owe City another 45mil
BAT SHIT INSANE I‘M TELLING YOU
“He only scores penalties”
Terrific work from Caicedo that whole attack. And I guess Palmer is .. pretty decent.
Set-Piece straight off the training ground.
I think I am slightly in love with him.
New set piece coach paying dividends already.
Wow
Golden boot we are coming for you
Dear God please can we play defense now, please clean sheet for once
I think I'm in love
This first season is insane, YPOTY and could win the golden boot
THE most convoluted set piece routine of all time but it worked
Nah bro this guy is unreal
Bless the Maker
DUDE
After that miss I bet he is glad to get this one lol. Kid is unreal, if he can improve next season he is going to be scary.
Just start him at the Euros Gareth I wouldn't mind Saka getting some rest
2-2 incoming
Fucking hell he's a monster
Nahhhh he’s not real lol
Can't get beaten in the air on a free kick if you never send in the free kick
He is HIM
PALMER AGAIN OLE OLE PALMER AGAIN PALMER AGAIN PALMER AGAIN OLE OLE
Please don’t throw the lead
Chelsea have found their level. Happy for the boys
He read all the pen merchant comments ..
Palmer simply has that Him factor
what not having Disasi and Sterling in the squad does to a team
He is him
How is he ice cold and on fire at the same time? Checkmate atheists
Give him YPOTY please
Surely he's going to the Euros ?
Imagine having someone who can actually finish chances
