Just seen the Chelsea goals. What the heck was that all about re the Chelsea penalty. It was shocking to see.

Just reading about it on BBC Sport website and Dele Alli made the point that the others weren't fighting over the penalty in the Man Utd game when the pressure was on to score. But at 4-0 up and no pressure on the penalty suddenly they all want to take it and get their name on the score sheet.
 
The first on Palmer I think he stands on his heel.

Tarkoski got the ball great tackle.
The only thing with the Tarkowski challenge was that, the few times I saw it, it appeared he threw a wonderful left hook into the face of the Chelsea player.

Must have just been the angle I saw it, and he didn't actually connect, otherwise it would have been a knockout :)

Good point that.

To be fair this has happened before and Poch was so weak dealing with it the players obviously think they can get away with it.

I asked a Chelsea pal what was going off.He said that Pochettino said after the last penalty was missed by Sterling “ the players can sort it out on the pitch”. After last nights farce he said Poch has embarrassed himself.
 
Corr imagine if Palmer and foden had played in the same city side
It’s an odd one because the same conversation was had about Foden and Sancho. Palmer like Sancho decided his future lay elsewhere. Could you imagine Sancho, Coden and Palmer in the same team.England. I can but I don’t think Southgate can.

Sancho whilst good (when on form) doesn't seem to have that x factor of these two for me
 
He did, but his attitude and agent did not help him one bit ☹️

If he becomes available for the £35 rumoured I'd love for us to lay down a marker and get him and tovey (or Solanke) in

Paquata looks off to you guys

But a front line of Bowen right, Sancho left , kudus cam all playing off of Toney or Solanke would be some forward line

I reckon ya pal is talking 🐂 💩 tash.
I can’t believe you believed this enough to actually repeat it 🤦‍♂️

Palmer really is top draw.
To play so well in a struggling team 🤯
Was definitely a good move for him to leave City,how many games would he have played there this season?
Now he’s in the conversation for player of the season?

Plus had a decent wage increase I’d have thought.

Yes .
Still can’t belive the coms we’re thinking he should / shouldn’t be at the Euros.
He should be in the top five for me
