But only if they get it before new year so I hope they survive next 3 games. Two of them got yellow in the first game 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHulk 2,444 Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 I'm surprised Palmer didn't try to deck Sterling for refusing to pass him that ball, criminal stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you watch the highlights by chance? It was a solo play by Sterling. Nobody passed him the ball, he took it. Teammates would definitely be super mad if it was a linkup play and he failed to pass in that situ. Regarding Palmer, he's young so it's understandable, but he needs to work on his consistency as every young play do. He was pretty poor against Wolves.

I'm arguing that players would respect a great solo play as opposed to a teamwork play where a player gets greedy at the end. To emphasize, Jackson, Broja, and (to a lesser degree) Palmer were awful; Sterling was literally playing alone esp in the first half, and we are here discussing Sterling's poor decision. That's exactly the problem with this roster IMO. Sterling is the only attacker we've got! 🙂 Well Nkunku will make it two... hopefully.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Looks like he is the real deal. The first goal was already classy af but how confidently he handled the one on one for the second was just - well cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The composure for his second goal is something I'd be slightly surprised to see Nkunku do, let alone someone of his age. Among the U21's in Europe, he's second only to Bellingham with the most goal contributions. Palmer and Gusto seem like the only smart signings under Todd & Co's ownership.

Fulham Broadway 17,312 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 He has made it in the game. Reminds me of Torres, not the one we ended up with but when he was at Liverpool Our best player by far atm. Guaranteed Real Madrid will 'be linked' with him in the Summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,318 Posted January 24, 2024 Share Posted January 24, 2024 13g 7a this season already in minutes equal to just over 20 games.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted January 24, 2024 Share Posted January 24, 2024 He is indeed very promising. Already delivering amidst the total chaos and shambles the club is in. Great maturity and mental fortitude at a young age. If he stays injury free he may well become our main man. Almost all our great successes in the past have come with a goal/assist source from midfield with either Lampard or Hazard regularly outshining the designated strikers. also a prime example of how every blind dog has its day in terms of Clownlakes scattergun transfer strategy.

milka 3,394 Posted January 24, 2024 Share Posted January 24, 2024 He is coached by Guardiola with players around him who have the mentality of a winner at citeh nothing surprising probably if we get Rico Lewis he will look like our best player too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think anyone who’s left City in the last few years have been bad signings for other clubs. Zinchenko, Jesus, Palmer, Gundogan, Cancelo and even Sterling to an extent have all done well. People were saying we were targeting City rejects but they seem to be really good in general even if they are not the best at City.

It is because Pep values two things highly - a players ability to read the game off the ball and a players efficency on the ball. The thing that impresses me most with Palmer is his lack of mistakes, rarely does he take the wrong option and if he does, he doesn't do it again.
