Cole Palmer as soon as once more stood up tall for Chelsea on Saturday afternoon and as soon as once more, with out him on the pitch, issues have been loads worse for Chelsea.
I really imagine that if we didn’t have Palmer on this workforce this season then we might be in a worse league place. Think about taking his targets and assists out of this workforce? Granted, he has scored plenty of penalties, and granted, somebody in his place would additionally doubtless be getting some targets and assists, however by no means as many as Palmer has bought this season.
Palmer has an enormous 30 purpose contributions already this season, that’s merely unbelievable. With out that, we’d be in a a lot worse place.
He’s actually develop into the Chelsea talisman this season, and we lack them. We want extra of them. As a result of proper now, Palmer is carrying the load of Chelsea and is at occasions, singlehandedly doing all of it, loads like Eden Hazard used to in his prime.

However is the truth that Palmer is doing all of it by himself, additionally an issue? It’s one thing that has been highlighted by some followers on-line this week after the Burnley recreation, talking about how Palmer typically opts to shoot or take the ball on moderately than make a cross for a participant in a greater place.
I’ll be sincere, after I see an attacker having only one factor in his thoughts at any time when he will get the ball, to attain targets, then I’m very happy to see it. Palmer believes in his personal means and believes he’ll rating most of the time when he will get the ball, so when he backs himself and takes the shot on, I’m by no means going to be upset with that. I like that mentality.
However we additionally should keep in mind that Palmer is barely 21-years-old, and he’s going to typically make the mistaken selections. Does he must be extra of a workforce participant? Would anybody have informed Hazard to be extra of a workforce participant? Or Messi? I don’t assume Palmer must be extra of a workforce participant, however I do assume he could make higher selections typically, and that may solely include time, additional growth, and good teaching.
I’ve no drawback in any respect with how Palmer performs, he’s been very good for us and we might be misplaced with out him.
Mauricio Pochettino has stated that Palmer is the perfect participant Chelsea have.
“He is an efficient instance for the remaining,” he stated.
“You may see that when the workforce is struggling, they offer the ball to him. It’s very optimistic for the workforce and him to play video games that he didn’t play at Manchester Metropolis.
“It’s apparent that we’re proud of him.”
He’s proper as nicely, the workforce do look to Palmer to bail them out loads, and I might by no means be desirous to take that out of his recreation. He’s the primary man, the talisman, the man to make issues occur, and the precise form of participant we’ve lacked and truly want extra of.
