Palmer, Enzo and Sterling are one yellow from suspension. 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 🤣

I'm surprised Palmer didn't try to deck Sterling for refusing to pass him that ball, criminal stuff.

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 don't understand why would that make any difference.

and I don't understand how that point isn't self-evident. 🤷‍♂️
Bear in mind I'm not arguing that his decision was not a very bad one -- it was. 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.

What a player. Love his 'Cold' celebration. 

What a guy.

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

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

A saying that is often misused but suits him to the ground: he's a player who looks beyond his years. 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.

Has the right mentality to make it in the game.

[Fulham Broadway 17,312]

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

13g 7a this season already in minutes equal to just over 20 games. Last time we had a player with that much input in goals was Hazard in 18/19 season.

[Special Juan 28,141]

Joy to watch, plays with ease and and takes responsibility on the field.

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

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.

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

There’s something about the City setup. 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.
