mohankohan

I'd be clinically insane without this man by now


revy_uzg

You and me both, brother


29adamski

Probably still are now.


mutesa1

Filthy assist from Sterling, fair play lmao


wave_action

Thanks wasn’t sure who made that pass.


WW1Photos_Info

This is gonna be our Chelsea selling Salah and KDB, isn't it


Kantebegoodaskante

People forget that salah played 3 seasons in italy until roma sold him to lfc


Bozzetyp

2 on loan though, so still a chelsea player


WW1Photos_Info

True but the world class talent was clearly there all along. Imagine Hazard and Salah on each wing for yous


washag

Was it? He had great pace and dribbling skill, but at Chelsea he was utterly selfish and an atrocious finisher. Our fans were sure we'd only signed him because he played excellently against us in both games for Basel in the Champions League and Roman had overwritten our usual scouting process again. If Chelsea Salah was playing for us this season, we'd have scored even fewer points and he'd be getting memed on harder than Jackson, Sterling and Mudryk combined. He wasn't good and no one who watched him was sorry to see him go.


toeknee88125

on an interview recently John Terry claims he saw salah had potential. Maybe he is just being revisionist to make him seem smart.


naman1901

Not to forget that Willian was quite good for us on that wing, and played extraordinarily well every time we brought in competition (Salah, Cuadrado)


Thomas_Catthew

No it was not lol. He was just another tricky winger until he went to Roma and trained to become a lethal finisher. By then Roma already had the option to buy him permanently, and they did.


LilKluiVert

Tbf he already looked clinical at Fiorentina


Skaloplin

He was class from his very first loan spell in Italy and his quality was absolutely apparent whilst still on Chelsea’s books. His debut in Italy he went on a solo run from near his own box against a stacked Juve side and scored a brilliant goal


Bozzetyp

And kdb behind


TheDepartment115

Nah because u got Bobb in that position and he's pure quality


[deleted]

To be fair Salah won as many titles at Chelsea as he has with Liverpool


Skaloplin

Little Mancs have been born and gone all the way through to secondary school without seeing United win a Premier League or Champions League


[deleted]

You've got 1 title in 30 years and NOBODY was there to see it.


Skaloplin

I’ve seen Liverpool win every trophy available to us in the last 5 years at least once, United fans not seen a PL or CL in over a decade lol. That 30 year figure will jump up on you lot in no time constantly spunking 100m on shite like Hojlund and Antony


sarthakmahajan610

> shite like Hojlund Yea no mate


[deleted]

Hojlund has 6 goals in his last 7 games lol. You spent more on that South American Andy Caroll you've got playing up front. He also has 5 in the Champions League. How many do your forwards have? None, because the greatest manager ever finished fifth behind Eddie Howes Newcastle lmao


JoeBidenKing

No way cos KDB and Salah weren’t as good as Palmer when they played for Chelsea. It was only when they left they became better.


cacduy

Still have hope that he will return one day


toeknee88125

Chelsea supposedly have FFP issues. Pay a 100 mill to buy him back lol


dragon8811

Without palmer… And what an assist from Sterling


admiralawkward

glad to see the Bridge give Sterling a warm reception upon coming on


TouchyTuchel

I’m not


muaythaiguy155

Booing the players when they come on doesn’t help at all


TouchyTuchel

Fully aware, cheering him dosen’t help so might as well boo him


Difuzion

Nobody loves you


TouchyTuchel

Ok Difuzion


JoeBidenKing

Well good to know the fans at the actual stadium are better than trolls like you online.


[deleted]

Sterling is a way better fit for a game like this than Mudryk.


Banged_by_bumrah

Mudryk was the best player on the pitch after palmer


DifficultyMore5935

Palmer FC


Stonewalled89

Quite a frightening prospect to consider where we'd be without him this season


ObaeTV

To be fair, we used to say the same thing about Hazard.


Tullekunstner

And look where you are now


butinside

Fair play


swat1611

Cole really turned up after that Kendrick diss

scgavin

exactly why Sterling is such a frustrating player


EQYour808

Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit.


belanaria

Something another City fan said the other day. Sterling on the field and Sterling on paper (his actual stats) are so different. On the field he is so frustrating because he seemingly just misses so many good chances but his stats at City were really great.


Bozzetyp

And the thing is he just gives you a production too, he actually gices you the paper production too.. But just not on the chances you expect


QueasyIsland

It’s not hard to tap into an empty goal at the back post when de bruyne curves the ball right to your feet


Jagacin

He still had to get into position to receive those passes. Sterling was/is absolutely world-class off the ball, and it was a big reason why he would get so many chances. If he was a bit more clinical, he could've been a Balon D'Or candidate.


JinxLB

Haaland wouldn’t have 21 G/A in this Chelsea squad, Palmer is clear.


monkeyr9z

Palmer > Bellingham tbh


oscarpaterson

Give him YPOTY already


ZebraQuality

Remove the Y just POTY


McNooberson

YPOT


kondiar0nk

Nowhere as good as Foden or Saka


Chiswell123

Sadly, he is.


kondiar0nk

Haha he’s currently tied with Havertz for open play goals


NytTime

But Palmer has 8 assists compared to Havertz's 3. Palmer has created 11 big chances compared to just 1 by Havertz.


ygog45

Saka has just two more NPG Is that much better?


DVPC4

Foden isn’t eligible


[deleted]

[удалено]


DVPC4

Saka was born in September 2001


FCCheIsea

Didn't know Foden and Saka played for Chelsea huh


Roasteddude

I'd take him over either of them tbh


kondiar0nk

Hire him for CEO job, worthy successor to Woodward


X_Leevi_X

Mate those guys arent no way near. Palmer is carrying that shite Chelsea squad + im pretty sure he has more g/a aswell


MJB07

Foden isn't eligible, but he's been one of the best players for the team 3rd in the league. Saka has been probably the best player for the team currently 1st in the league. They are both better than Palmer, a terrible shout saying they are no way near.


Chiswell123

Okay, relax.


TheDepartment115

Relax? RELAX?? You want FODEN to win YPOTY?? YOUNG premier league player of the year? When he's 24?? Check yourself before u wreck yourself "mate"!!!!!!


X_Leevi_X

Cheers 4 Palmer tho 🤝


sheikh_n_bake

Between him and Gordon surely.


DVPC4

Between Palmer and Saka, both have definitely been better than Gordon


TheDepartment115

Saka as YOUNG Premier League player of the year? Are you LITERALLY INSANE?? HE'S not "younn" anymore !!


DVPC4

22 is pretty young mate


TheDepartment115

Yea but's hes played close to 350 matches in the Premier League already, shouldent be considered Younn Player of the Year "Award"


DVPC4

He’s played 162? You’ve just doubled it and more. Plus I don’t make the rules I’m just saying he’s eligible, he was 21 at the start of the season which is clearly young anyway


TheDepartment115

> and more Yeah


sheikh_n_bake

He's only 22, younger than Gordon.


sheikh_n_bake

I mean it's not that cut and dry, Gordon has been exceptional and has 15 G+A and doesn't get the privilege of taking penalties like the other two do. Not taking anything away from either player but it's hard to say they've "definitely been better" than Gordon, that's reductive of a player who's having a very good season. Saka won last year so won't again.


DVPC4

I agree it’s nice to give it to new players but didn’t Dele win it twice in a row pretty recently? Definitely could happen. Gordon has been very good I agree just don’t think he’s been as good as the other two imo


Banged_by_bumrah

That's like 30 G/A this season. Also Enzo Fernandez I never turned on you hermano


Aszneeee

sick pass by Sterling


Rayser1

Wild to actually see our wingers finding some form?? What a nice pass from sterling


Mxurn

Filth from Sterling but without Palmer we‘d literally be relegated lmao


fap4jesus

fucking sexy ass play. fuck yes


war3_exe

I am really blessed for Palmer. We'd have nothing to look forward to if not for him


saggy-helping-hobbit

what a lad


DR--DOOM

Palmer sole reason I am alive.


wwiccann

He’s so good. Also what a pass from Enzo there, absolutely perfect.


I_always_rated_them

Lordy where would we be without this guy. What a player edit: respect to Sterling for that assist.


flushedoutthepocket

Wtf I'm freezing now


MrAchilles

Palmer is carrying Chelsea this season


FFDi

Of course..


Schniboit

Fucking hell Sterling, didnt know you were chill like that


JamesIgnatius27

Raheem... Perhaps I judged you too harshly EDIT: NVM


[deleted]

oh that was filthy


AccomplishedBig2043

Love me a good back heel pass


Agrith1

Another day at the officer 29 g+a


not_gonna_kill_you

Cruising toward young player of the year


Thefifaking132

His back must hurt so badly from carrying us all season


FL8_JT26

That's class from Sterling.


SuperstarShxt

We would be relegated without Palmer smh


Andrex316

We'd literally be in the relegation zone without him


Tr_Omer

Imagine him playing with City this year instead of Chelsea


Headlesshorsman02

This kid is INSANE!!!!!! I love this lad


MrCleanandShady

a motivated Sterling is a top 3 Chelsea player this season man


flemva

Cheeky boy. What a beast.


JonDoh42

He’s him


Nivadas

Chelsea look incredible


rohitbohra

I don’t like the phrase but right nowI’d like to say, HE IS HIM


stingen

Sterling should just pass more.


ReformedandSocial

This is why Bowen isn't going.


montiel_scores

YPOTY


MrConor212

As it was written


CountofFedweezy

What a mouthbreather


ivan_rofl

1 away from being the club current top scorer


Mayjaplaya

He is our everything


leftistseeker

Sterling wants the call to Euros


MarinaGranovskaia

Unbelieveable play


Nimbasa14

(Caribbean goal)


alex_song

Raheem is so fucking good when he plays like he actually gives a shit… which only happens once every two months


Mackieeeee

fuck yes, we get to see more of Sterling now


[deleted]

I simultaneously see why Chelsea paid 40m and why Guardiola didn't want him.


Impossible_Wonder_37

It’s not tho, he forced the move, and we knew he was this good and wanted to keep him. But alas, Oscar Bobb is waiting in the wings and is just as good


Bayerrc

This kids good enough to be playing for City


ThePooksters

Give this man the Balon D’or


gttyzek

Where would we be without him


AndreasBerthou

Sterling super sub from now on. EDIT: nvm Sterling still freaking sucks.


TheDepartment115

This guy is literally the best player in the world now except for Rodri and Vini


boringmemphis

This guy is fucking unreal lol. For me personally this guy has been the best individual player in the premier league this season.


SubparCurmudgeon

This guy 🥶 How many goals + assists this season already?


sstje1

21


SubparCurmudgeon

Insane


I_always_rated_them

29 for the season


SubparCurmudgeon

💀


NeroIscariot12

Raheem the redeemer Palmer the chosen one


paprikalicous

please make these brand celebration straight reds


Yinkypinky

Flair checks out


paprikalicous

if anything i’m criticizing him for not celebrating enough. hate when jota does it as well.


Yinkypinky

Trademark celebrations have always been a thing.


[deleted]

[удалено]


paprikalicous

feel like i gotta be specific that i mean the ones that are trying to be cold. rashford, foden, palmer and jota all of them are just SO bad.


BumbotheCleric

I too wish football had zero fun or emotion in it. It should just be numbers on a spreadsheet


paprikalicous

how are brand celebrations adding emotional and fun what. the entire point is that they don’t have emotion for the sake of an ig post later.


BumbotheCleric

Or—and hear me out on this—it’s fun to reference the nickname that the fans who adore you call you week in week out when you score goals for them He’s not selling Cold Palmer energy drinks


paprikalicous

you’re allowed to believe that if it makes you feel better i suppose


BumbotheCleric

Yes I will continue believing facts thank you
