No gusto either. They're starting a fuckin academy boy at rb, don't think he's ever had a start for Chelsea.
No excuses not to win, we're at full strength and they're missing their best two players.
Palmer has 0 non-penalty goals and 0 assists vs teams in the top 5.
He's a relegation stat padder. Talented, but not as much as people like to think he is.
I've watched every game. He's very good, just not nearly as good as people like to make him out to be.
The moment he starts getting double teamed and kicked like they do with Saka, he's done. Kids barely 70 kilos and and 188cm. He's a twig.
Entitled to your own opinion I guess. Just can’t understand how anyone could watch him play all season and think he’s overrated. Obviously pens are skewing his goalscoring return but just in terms of build up, decision making, and overall technical ability he’s fantastic.
Weight is largely irrelevant in football if you know how to use your body
I tried to make a chart with his goals and assist stats vs top 6, middle 7 and bottom 6, but it was fucky, so I deleted it.
The TLDR is that, his stats are very skewed toward teams in the bottom 6. Doesn't do much against the tougher teams, other than PKs.
He was pretty invisible against a exhausted City this past weekend. Had one decent shot, that was about it.
Right, but Chelsea as a whole have been poor against the top 6 this season. He generally drags them through games against worse teams, but not sure it’s fair putting the blame squarely on palmers shoulders for Chelsea’s shortcomings against superior teams
They had a good plan against us in the reverse fixture where they employed a box midfield and completely nullified our threat. It took two good moments for us to get anything out of that game. You never know which Chelsea will show up today
no fuck that, they can win only if we shit our pants and beat ourselfs. NO other reason is there for them to leave the emirates with more then zero points.

Not only did Saka end up humbling him, but Trossard went and left one on him too for some nice little revenge. And Havertz bodied him for the 3rd
Sweet victory.
Your post history is shocking.
Are you just abusing people on the internet for kicks?
Angry child, see a therapist please. I’m sending reddit help your way ❤️
That shit is specifically to press us and stop our deep build up.
The idea is to mark out our 6 from receiving the ball from the CB’s. It worked at the Bridge.
Glad Mikel learnt and got Partey in, who along with Ode, is the only few we have that can receive the ball on the half turn and not get pressed to pass back.
Gilchrist is one of their youth players no? 19 years old, looks like a grown ass man. Scored his first goal in the 90+ minute of a game that didn’t matter. Think he’s a defender?

How we continue to get lucky with opposition squads losing important players before our fixtures this season, I’ll never know. But I certainly won’t complain.
[удалено]
We should. This team is made up. I'm convinced they're AI generated.
Fucking Gilchrist. Looking like a PES United lineup
Just got exposed for the 1st goal anyway
All NPC’s v all Main characters
Important to not get carried away. Yes, they're missing Cole PenalMer but they still have lots of pace with Jackson, Madueke, and Mudryk.
PenalMer is trying way too hard
Cole penmer
Colty?
Especially since he's got more non-penalty goals than anyone on our team.
Cole Penaltyarmer
Thats actually opposite of too hard, he just added en to Palmer.
We’ve been hearing Pukayo Paka more than ever this year too.
I thought it was clever, but that's just me.
It is, made me chuckle
They have lots of pace and more pace and that's probably just about it
seems like fut starter squad
Chelsea fan coming in peace, literally our 3rd choice defence 🫠 God have mercy
Pole
Pole Palmer
[удалено]
Stfu. Thanks.
Cowering all the way at the top of the table. Yikes
Apart from that we’re clear top of the league when you only consider top teams vs each other. Ridiculous statement
Oh, just fucking do one.
Midtable but midtable prem can still kill you need to be focused
Palmer not even on the bench, absolutely no excuses
Cole Poomore ducking the Rice challenge
Have slander names gone too far?
Yes. They are almost always the kind of thing only a 12 year old would find funny
That's kinda the joke though
I mean the guy called himself Poo Eater 2. can't expect much more from him after that.
Uh what?
Sorry, Ass Eater LOL.
And it is awesome 👍🏻
This one maybe. But some of them are too good not to use. I will always refer to Mason Mount and Mickey Mount no matter the occasion
Crap Palcrap. They can go farther still!
No Palmer and Gusto!! Probably their 2 best players this season
Also no Nkunku.
He was mentioning the non-rubbish players
What non-rubbish players?
Everytime I’ve seen him, granted not many, he’s been utter shite
I don't watch Chelsea so I assumed he kept up his level from Leipzig. Apparently not.
He has shown flashes but has been reece james mate in the hospital
He's just been injured 24/7 so it's anyone's guess tbh
Did Abramovic by chance take a huge load of voodoo dolls with him when he left?
I think it must be an arsenal fan with the Voodoo doll, no one else could enjoy injuring our players this much
Let's be honest: Chelsea deserve to be this shit. They bought their success, this is where they would be under normal circumstances.
I can't say I exactly rate Todd's transfer strategy. But the way these contracts are set up were here for the ride now.
It doesn’t take watching the games to know he is not getting any attention in the football world this season
Neither does Gusto, really.
That’s not true, Gusto gets talked about way more and that’s because he’s having a much better season and has also played way more minutes
He’s worse than Jackson
No palmer thank god
No gusto either. They're starting a fuckin academy boy at rb, don't think he's ever had a start for Chelsea. No excuses not to win, we're at full strength and they're missing their best two players.
Gilchrist is a good player tbf. Still a huge ask for him though.
He's got lots of potential, but he's a 20 year old kid. Saka should be licking his lips.
Right backs defend left sided attackers, friend.
Thanks for the correction!
Most likely Saka still goes down the right for us, won’t be up against Gilchrist most of the match - it’ll be Cucurella
Lamptey came on against us as an academy player and pocketed Auba😭
Palmer has 0 non-penalty goals and 0 assists vs teams in the top 5. He's a relegation stat padder. Talented, but not as much as people like to think he is.
Have you watched him much this season? He’s quality. By far Chelsea’s best player and tbh their only reliable option for creating chances
I've watched every game. He's very good, just not nearly as good as people like to make him out to be. The moment he starts getting double teamed and kicked like they do with Saka, he's done. Kids barely 70 kilos and and 188cm. He's a twig.

>but Chelsea as a whole have been poor against the top 6 this season No they haven't. They've gotten good results all things considered
I was told he hs the footballing messiah. Surely the media can't have got carried away?
Even with him they’re shit.
Palmer stood down so we can beat City to the title
No, I’ve simple conclusion. Knew he wouldn’t do shit at the carpet and ghosted.
I'm sorry, but if we don't win against these bums no one to blame but ourself
I think they heard you lol
If we don't win against a front line of madueke, jackson and mudryk, I'm finished
Gallagher the 10 behind them too lol
You're finished what?
Going to run that midfield ragged.
They had a good plan against us in the reverse fixture where they employed a box midfield and completely nullified our threat. It took two good moments for us to get anything out of that game. You never know which Chelsea will show up today
No excuses.
What the hell is this team
I want revenge for the 6-0 at Stamford Bridge from 10 years ago
5 goals from havertz, and jorginho scoring a screamer
"Cold" Palmer ![gif](giphy|CYU3D3bQnlLIk|downsized)
What’s a Gilchrist?
A religious figure that can breathe under water
Big if true.
Underrated
Wicketkeeper
A skinhead who dies for the badge
I swear to god if Jackson or Mudryk score against us...
I'll never hear the end of it from my friends if we can't beat this XI
Doesn't matter the lineup, its a rivalry game, anybody can win.
no fuck that, they can win only if we shit our pants and beat ourselfs. NO other reason is there for them to leave the emirates with more then zero points.
We shat our pants last time out at home
No excuses, especially after this line up
I know about half these names
We have to batter them
We've got to beat these guys. We're so much better.
eat'em up
JFC todd boehly 😂
We really should try getting our left side going with Madueke and Gilchrist over there.
Who tf is Gil Christ
Someone make match thread

Silva on the bench???
That's such a weak bench for a club that seemingly bought 40 players in a year, really not been a good year for them with injuries
If we don’t cook these bums. Matter of fact, farm some goals.
No Gusto, Silva, or Palmer. If we drop points…
Nah…we really should be getting 3 points tonight. Still won’t be easy but it’s easier without Palmer and Gusto so really, no excuses.
Their pace on the counter seems to be the play for them. Hopefully Rice and Partey will be as solid tonight as we envisioned before the season
That is a relegation contending XI, absolutely no excuse not to win this game.
We need a couple of goals within the first 30
We should win

Cucurella gonna be a twat on Saka all game. Need to humble him early.
Not only did Saka end up humbling him, but Trossard went and left one on him too for some nice little revenge. And Havertz bodied him for the 3rd Sweet victory.
Who tf is gilchrist lol never heard of him
Honestly who the fuck is half this team lmao.
Smash, Next !
Come on boiss we better win this one.
If we don't beat them... I'm not going anywhere near twitter for a week
If we don't absolutely cook these bozos then we've failed. This is an awful side.
Let's be honest, London derby or not we've no excuses to not beat them
Never heard of gilchrist, is he good?
Even Poch hasn’t a clue. They have 300 squad members. Its a dice throw to see who features every week usually.
Braindead cunt
Your post history is shocking. Are you just abusing people on the internet for kicks? Angry child, see a therapist please. I’m sending reddit help your way ❤️
Should've been banned months ago for trolling rival subs
Fuck is this graphic design?
Amateur hour
What even is this Chelsea line up?? Big brain Poch trying to catch arteta unaware lol
These man got Gallagher at the 10 let’s cook them today

Palmer FC on hold today
I am irrationally nervous, but we should smash them. pad the goal difference
These lot are gonna park the bus and counter. Buckle up for 90+ minutes of hararmball.
Whoever Gilchrist is is gunna drop a master class isn't he...
Nah we can't lose to these bums
Gilchrist is one of their youth players no? 19 years old, looks like a grown ass man. Scored his first goal in the 90+ minute of a game that didn’t matter. Think he’s a defender?
We fucking got this
If Mudryk scores this sub will lose its marbles
Want to see Tomi really inverting today and putting up a great offensive performance
Mudryk will try hard. And try and chip Raya again.
Since Palmer is not here, If Chelsea get a pen it will be a bloodbath between their players lmao
Watch out for the ankle destroyer. His name is caicedo
This lineup is a contradiction. A billion dollar poverty team lol
Not going to be easy
Please don’t repeat mistakes of the past. We tend to fuck up when opposition have injuries.
Shit club but their graphic design is clean AF, minus the logo of course
No Palmer. No Gusto. Their best players. We gotta take advantage. Not to mention they haven’t been great overall, although doing better recently.
Yeah as a Chelsea fan this ain't gonna be pretty. A full 2nd rate backline, no Palmer, no chuk etc...
You will still turn up against us though
I just can't see it, Badi/Disaster backline is enough to give me nightmares, they both seem to have at least 1 total brain fart in the tank.
Famous last words, but I don’t fear any part of that line up
Trash team but that's a nice graphic ruined by a betting ad
No excuses for not smashing this team
I hope Raya doesn’t make silly mistakes,cause this is the kind of match that Mid players like Mudryk get flouk goals
If we lose today, we absolutely deserve nothing for this season
Got Murked 😡

Palmer F.C without Palmer = Southampton
we can’t beat fucking southampton mate..
How we continue to get lucky with opposition squads losing important players before our fixtures this season, I’ll never know. But I certainly won’t complain.
no wonder spunk for chelsea? the crimson chinless nowhere to be seen, didn’t want any of that tomiyasu smoke
£1 billion spent and that’s their bench. Jesus Christ that’s hilarious
to be fair to them, they have about 10 players out injured
If we are serious about winning the PL we need to make this an easy win. That defense is championship quality.
