Did anyone get hit in the head last night by one of his wayward efforts? where there's blame there's a claim...

🤣

think his goals will turn up like london busses soon... He's an absolute baller this gent.

Spot on. He's been missing easier shots than he was blasting in earlier on. All his other numbers remain as they were. Maybe a matter of confidence, who knows? He's 22, still a relative novice. Class is permanent.

the fact he put himself into 4 goalscoring positions last night says it all... I actually loved the fact he had a smile about it too... He knows it, we know it, just a matter of time before it clicks once more.

Maresca has managed to shackle the most exciting player in the league, and arguably the world this season. No different to what Pep has done to Grealish and Foden. These system managers kill individual brilliance.

23/24 - G/A every 88 minutes

24/25 - G/A every 129.4 minutes

It's criminal. For that alone he should get his P45 - never mind the growing list of other things.

Unfortunately I think it is more likely that our owners and SDs sell the "under-performing" Palmer than part company with their pet Maresca ...

I reckon he is fed up of our project and his heart just is not in it anymore.

His pen sums up his far he has fallen off a cliff.

Going thru a rough patch.. happens.

Probably more to do with the fact that he's played almost every single minute for us over the past few months because some genius at the top decided to loan out his back up.

Also just reading Maresca saying he's been ill but Palmer asked to play, makes sense why he was hooked

I'm dreading the Club World Cup. These players are going to be f**ked going into next season.

We all knew his level would drop. I suppose the only question was how far would it drop?

I’m not saying Cole is finished but you do see players have a good 2/3 years and rapidly fall off. Torres and Owen spring to mind (theirs was injury related though).

I think Cole Palmer overperformed in terms of G+A last season and this season he's been at a more normal level. Number 10's hardly ever score 20+ in the Premier League

He's still a phenomenal player though

Come on mate, he's had a sh*t couple of months, thinking that it's anything more than just a poor run of form is massively jumping the gun and negativity for negativity's sake.

Especially when you’re comparing him to 2 players who were ruined by hamstring tears.

Anyone ever thought maybe he’s also missing Jackson.

They link up very well and seem to know where each other is.

When Jackson comes back it will be interesting to see if he suddenly regains form.

Not sure minutes played has anything to do with it, his barely played any cup or international games so there's no reason why he can't play every league game. Fernandes has played the majority of cup games including Europe and extra time.

Impossible. I have it on good authority that any youth player and even Robert Sanchez couldn’t be worse than Jackson up top.

He is there with sitters.. Just can't kick them in anymore. Same amount of chances he always gets

Will we see that young Arsenal Lb do coles celebration in his face like he did to haaland if he scores against us?

He should have been nowhere near the starting line up today. Sickness and diarrhoea the day before. Perfect opportunity to give Nkunku minutes in his best position against lesser opponents.

I reckon Maresca would spontaneously combust if he had to do without Palmer for 6 weeks.

Didn’t realize he was unwell, wonder if similar bug to what Reece had. Fortunately a break now should something pass thru the team.

On his form - he’ll he just fine. Every player goes through these moments.

Don't we have Copenhagen Thursday and Arsenal at the weekend?

You’re right! Hopefully they can all avoid anything

Next game he scores in - he'll probably go on and bang a hatrick... Hopefully Arsenal, and hopefully sh*ts all over them on the weekend.

TBF... I'm actually super pissed at Palmer right now, his rotten luck means I have to pick Salah as captain in my fantasy football... meh...

Really gone off the boil since Nico got injured.
