Palmer is what we thought Havertz was gonna be when we first signed him.

This is exactly how i see it. Same lanky body but actually knows how to use it. 

He's what we thought we were getting in 2020.

Honestly dont get the point of signing him if Gallagher keeps on getting shoehorned into the midfield. Playing up ahead of enzo and caicedo as a 10 will bring a much better balance to our midfield. 

How about now?

Yeaa but will he score an as important goal as a CL winner, not in the near future he won’t…

While he really, really fell of it's fair to remember that Havertz was the business against the likes of City, Madrid, Liverpool and Atletico and other top teams for a while.

Beating Fulham was good, first half was promising and Palmer was good but the real tests are going to come later in October and November. That's when we get to prove if we are a good side again or not.

So far so good for chilli Palmer!

Those were decent games from Kai with good moments but I wouldn't say he was the business. Very underwhelming player that makes a 7 out of 10 performance seem like a 10 out of 10 because we were so desperate for him to do well. 

 

i like to post the highlights from individual players, hopefully it isn't taken down

no it isn't i just go on twitter and search for highlight videos (only reason i have an account) 

but often these sort of videos get taken down for violating some sort of rules because the images are from PL games

Our most unexpected signing could prove to be one of the best. 

To be fair I did not follow Cole Palmer that close and I do not know what his natural position is - winger or a no. 10.

Nevertheless he should be one of the first names on the teamsheet from now on and it is not even a debate. 

Such a clever player and his weight of pass is superb.

Thought he was brilliant last night - what a breath of fresh air. The way he received the ball in tight spaces but turned his opponent and then made accurate forward passes, is exactly what we have been missing. 

Hard to question Pep but it seems utter madness to sell this lad to us and take Kovacic who couldn't do the sort of things Palmer did last night if he tried. Brighton may have mugged us a few times but looks like we have mugged City on this occasion!

 

Playing well. Expect he'll get injured soon.

TBF City has Foden, Alvarez, B.Silva and Doku all ahead of Palmer and needed a CM after Gundogan left. 

Seems like it'll end up being a good deal for both clubs. 

Played exceptionally last night, knows how to pick a pass. I’m also impressed with his work rate without the ball, closing  down space and passing lanes.

Havertz is a football charity. He needs goals to be gifted to him. worst thing for his Chelsea career was scoring in that final as he, like others in the squad, retired from football after winning it. Im getting to the stage where I think Reece James has retired from football, best right back ive seen in donkeys but pointless keeping him at the club because he's rarely been fit since the final. 

Hope this lad stays fit... that simple. 

Love how effective he was at RW. Playing through the channels and can provide support out wide as well. Some of his passing were very precise. 

Hope he starts again at the weekend. 

He is our player of the season so far as far as I am concerned  ... fair enough these videos show players "best bits" ..... to think we effectively "swapped" him for Kova, best bit of business we done, Pepe must be gutted.

He wont get the chance, which is not his fault. Oh and by the way, can anyone tell me of one decent game that Havertz had for Chelsea AFTER scoring the CL winner ??? I will wait..........................................................................................................................

Glad he's starting games now, definitely one of our best attackers atm

Sold Mount for 60m and bought Palmer in for 40m who is quite literally 10x the player. 

Fun Fact: Cole Palmer in his first 3 chelsea games is only 2 open play assists away from equalling Mount's all time tally at chelsea for all seasons

Absolutely love this guy

Has secured himself a spot in the default starting XI almost effortlessly. A great contrasting set of abilities to Sterling,

Sure is ugly though

We definitely look more balance with this guy on the right. When James is back and fit, we'll be looking even better. Hopefully this means we're looking at Palmer & Madueke competing on the right, with Sterling and Mudryk competing on the left.
