Cole palmer deserved a lot credits who's with me?

[@ivanbravo4536]

Anyone could have scored against that everton side. Come on. Palmer is overrated.

[@luke_222]

Anyone could have but no one else did 🤔

[@hashimrahman51]

He’s class.

[@saadmanutsho4897]

​@@ivanbravo4536 Huh? Scoring 4 goals is not a joke. What are you on about kid?

[@stefan5730]

That first goal was Messi like

[@openbooktips]

Ale just expressed my sentiments about a lot of the stars who don’t reach their potential. The special ones do everything with purpose. You dribble because that’s what’s needed to get past a challenge, you do a flick because it’s necessary, etc. Other players do these things either to embarrass the opponent, to be flashy, etc. such intents don’t produce good results frequently.

[@PedroNeves-hm5xm]

Facts players like Saint Maximin or Luis Diaz for example all skill and no end product

[@user-ze7vn1dy1o]

Cold palmer is his name What a gem Chelsea got themselves we are blessed to have the guy❤❤❤

[@sina7601]

He is on a whole different level compared to Foden let alone Saka. Saka is nowhere near him

[@PedroNeves-hm5xm]

Only Arsenal fans put Saka on this pedestal apart from g/a his around game is limited…

[@Viking_Myoozik]

Phil is dangerous

[@LOOPS581]

Foden is foden man 🤦 palmer is good and on form at the moment but foden>>>>>

[@dannytallmage2971]

Lol if Cole starts over sakafrican southgate with be arrested

[@AItakover]

Foden isn't as smart and ruthless as palmer

[@andreclarke2558]

He is him 🥶 🧊 ☃️

[@Supernoob-be9jg]

So, in the euros: starting palmer over bellingham? No chance. Starting palmer ahead of saka? 100%. Starting palmer ahead of foden? Very much debatable.

[@nubosite]

Sorry mate, Saka is still above Foden for England. If Foden continues in this trajectory to next season, and Saka wanes then fair enough. ATM Saka ahead bcos he’s got more to his game as per end products

[@PedroNeves-hm5xm]

@@nubositeonce Southgate gets out we’ll see the real Foden for England Notice how P&P only seems to thrive at England on the wings Grealish & Foden don’t look the same for England as they do City

[@supreme_zeeyus]

They can all be squeezed into the same team if Southgate is willing to try. Double pivot of Bellingham and Rice, Saka on the right, Foden on the left and Palmer in the 10. Against weaker opposition I think this would work, maybe it’s offensive for the stronger sides

[@dannytallmage2971]

@@nubositegee I wonder why you think this.

[@charlesapana9935]

Yeah absolutely brilliant on top of his game and for me he is the best player in the league

[@muhammadsanneh2510]

Cole palmer is the best English player at this moment who says no ?

[@bo0gi3]

Jude Bellingham & Phil Foden

[@akshathskindian]

@@bo0gi3hes better than bellingham and foden is a debate, if palmer played for madrid and city and not a bunch of brainless monkeys he would go viral

[@saindst]

@@bo0gi3 Bellingham has fallen off. Foden has too much world class support around him, and is NOWEHERE near as good for england as man city. He plays well in the system he is used to and the players around him. That is all. Palmer has 4 more g/a than Haaland, 9 more g/a than bellingham and 8 more g/a than foden. All while being in currently a much worse team than all three, in his FIRST full season AND at a new club. People hype players up without really looking into the details. Foden is good, but I wouldn't say better, same with Bellingham.

[@gazagovana3291]

Poch should've substituted Jackson and Maduiki right away, quit been nice Mauricio, stand up and stand firm.

[@brightudokanma8938]

And put who?

He would if we had any other wingers lol but that’s all we have lol

The haters are in stage 3 of grief: Bargaining if they would play him ahead of Saka and Foden, lol

[@vice0774]

😂 palmer is getting his praises for once 😂

[@Arwin-vy5ky3qp6s]

Palmer is cooking

[@carlosbarahona8910]

Although I see why Saka might start ahead of him in the England squad, cole Palmer is sensational and IMO should start ahead of Saka

[@omarwhittle6050]

Cole palmer is the best player at Chelsea right now ❤😊

[@emmanueljr]

Pep is always talking about playing the game in different rhythms. ive come to notice Cole does that. One second he'll get the ball and its almost annoying how he slows it down. he'll hog the ball for a minute, pass back then ran after his pass asking for it back only to pass back or sideways again. then Boom he just turns someone, or nutmegs them and he's in space to make a killer pass or a shot

[@user-zn4hs8ky5q]

I'm happy for him😊😊

[@user-fv5gd2lb6v]

Truly Proud ❤

[@adhammp6885]

Playing with confidence

[@muhammadsanneh2510]

Cole palmer is simply unstoppable 🔥

[@sa4769]

This makes Chelsea more competitive, and that is good for the league. I’m tired of always MC or Liverpool always top of table

They said something positive about Chelsea!!!

How does that 8 years contracts sound now every Chelsea player is gonna improve

[@pfeventsorganiser]

Palmer is the clubs savior this season

Foden

[@samkelomvelase9328]

Phil Foden plays golf?

[@user-zn4hs8ky5q]

Give Palmer his flowers💐💐💐💐💐

[@jimknight5420]

The penalty taking should be decided and clear before the game, and players should be warned they'll be substituted immediately for that childish behaviour.

[@mrchelsea7171]

What people are not discussing is Saka and Foden are in great teams with experienced players around then. Cole is carrying Chelsea. He should go to the Euros and come off the bench and build up his time from there!

[@alexischristou3266]

Que the "World Class" status already for Palmer who scored 7 goals in two games. Talented player but the media is predictable when it comes to a british player who is in form atm.

[@CharlieVane21]

Probably the player of the season in the PL.

[@FreewayMJG]

To seriously say you're not playing him ahead of Saka takes some doing Dan

[@jaycage1996]

Palmer is the only English player I see and then I just know he isn't pure English the way he plays its different and relaxed he doesn't play like an English player

[@rowlandonyemali1498]

Craig would have said 'I know Chelsea won but it was a poor performance' 😅 what a sadist

[@ankurjyoti1]

Why Pep made him leave😢

[@onset6ix]

YPOTY or we riot

[@GertRicketts-bt4rl]

Palmer was always an outstanding young player most of y'all only praising him now but he still not on Foden level but he's not far from that either

[@RasenRendanX]

what even is "Foden's level" Cole is top scorer and has 9 assists in a far worse team than City

[@curtischarles5299]

Cole is a top talent but he's not better than saka in that england team . Saka has been consistently good . But i would pick him though

[@RasenRendanX]

so good he disappeared when his club needed him vs aston villa

[@doctors8966]

Roman's been fired from the bloodline rhea's injured this could be carnage' tonight 🤔

[@user-zp6dg5kq1p]

Cole palmer is miles better than Saka, Foden is the closest comparison to him. Imo they’re both on the same level. Palmer has something though that might give him an edge, he’s so calm under pressure it is absolutely terrifying. There are players who can never ever overcome the pressure of big moments. He has demonstrated over and over he’s not one of those. We are witnessing a future world class player right here. Mark my words.

[@user-wx3hg2eb6p]

Saka has been consistent for 3 seasons in a row

[@DiReal_Donclassy]

Palmer was terrific but selfish. Joint top scorer with Haaland 👏 👏 👏

U are a fool Idiot

He has 16 goals and 13 assists this season in all competitions if you take away his penalties 💀. He has 11 goals and 9 assists in the Premier League if you take away his penalties. With or without pens, still one of the best players in the Prem

[@soumasouma7980]

He can't live WITHOUT PENALTIES 🤣 13 Penalties in all competitions // 9 Penalties in Premier League, 9th place and ppl think he's messi 🤦😏🤣

[@brandonjablasone7544]

He hug all the penalty from every body reason why the team is doing bad

[@johnnyconnelly7278]

He's at least as good as the two they mentioned and a better player than Saka by a mile.

Must start for England but Southgate could play Henderson instead 😂😂😂😂
