Cole Palmer bagged an incredible FOUR goals in Chelsea's demolition of Everton, taking him to the very top of the Premier League scoring charts. Putting aside the tension with Nicholas Jackson and Noni Madueke over the penalty, the game neatly illustrated just why he's had such an incredible first season under Mauricio Pochettino. Adam Clery looks at the goals, the player, and the numbers, to show just how special a player he's already become.

Essentially City gave their closest player to KDB back to Chelsea to pay them back for getting KDB.
One thing I think would maybe have held Palmer back at City is there are long periods of games where the players almost have to curb their natural instincts and stick to the plan in possession. Works great for KDB but you sense Palmer would find that hugely limiting. Glad he's somewhere that's a lot more chaotic lol
@@FourFourTwoagree. He played somewhat like you described in FA cup final however he ended up scoring and winning
On God for real, the guy is terrifying,
@@FourFourTwoI mean, that's why KBD has some friction with Pep at times. KBD wants to be creative and makes passes that will raise Pep's blood pressure. Palmer doesn't have the resume to take those actions yet in a Pep team like KBD. And he wouldn't get that resume if he stayed at City.
@@FourFourTwo yess, Foden would've been better too if given more freedom
Premier league's gonna get a WHOLE lot colder 🥶🥶🥶
Coleder
Palmer has predator instincts, he's scary 🥶
Except for 9 penaltys and two hatricks, so over hyped he's basically scored 8 goals, English bias
@@jeffrybungle2502 you definitely don’t watch Chelsea games, I know you’re going to reply with a troll comment to annoy me or sumn, but being honest you haven’t even watched a single chelsea game this season?? Isn’t it
@@jeffrybungle2502I too have always preferred players who miss penalties and don’t score hat tricks…
@@jeffrybungle2502 bait
@@jeffrybungle2502you’re high on some expired stuff.
The guy's insane. We've had players before who give off that confident aura of not caring (Hazard, Havertz, etc...) but he's next level. Cold Palmer isn't a cute joke, he's the fearlessness of youth personified. Southgate's a fool if he doesn't take him this summer, for my money he should start. He's exactly what England (historically) lack in big match situations at major tournaments - composure.
I think that a double pivot of Gallagher and Caicedo actually gives our midfield a much better balance than the Fernandez Caicedo partnership. Gallagher is simply a far superior athlete to Enzo which means he can participate in the press and offer defensive cover. Palmer will get the headlines-deservedly so because he was amazing and has been all season-but Gallagher is wildly underrated and had, I think, a huge impact on the quality of Chelsea’s midfield this game.
Agreed, also Caicedo looked better with Gallagher in the pivot with him
That’s because the Everton game plan was to avoid the midfield area of the pitch. Caicedo has to play more defensively against possession based teams because both Lavia and Ugochukwu are injured, and Gallagher can’t play as a DM.
The thing is that this season Enzo and Caicedo are supposed to be the double pivot but Poch plays Enzo much higher up the field and plays Caicedo as the lone man CDM which isn’t really what they were bought for. That’s why Gallagher and Caicedo played well was because it was a double pivot. Both Enzo and Caicedo are supposed to be deeper with Enzo dictating play and Caicedo playing the role in which he did against Everton with an actual number 10 in front of them instead of Gallagher, which is what Poch hasn’t played all season rather than against Everton and it worked. But Poch doesn’t observe this but rather play an unbalanced midfield like what we played against Sheffield
@@the0fficialola577exactly
You hit the nail on the head. Pochettino has been leaving Caicedo completely isolated between the lines, with huge gaps. He needs his other pivot close by @@the0fficialola577
When people say “Palmer only scores pens” I know they don't watch his games. Palmer is Chelsea’s best chance creator, everything revolves around him, his all-round game is the reason why Chelsea is not facing relegation. The goals only tell one side of the story
he’s everything they hope nkunku to be
@@duyanhng8430that’s very true !
No way Pep gives him this kind of freedom. Poch probably tells him to roll the ball out there
Bingo.
Cole has shown the ability to find space in most games. Also can’t double up on him too much as gusto is a great threat
Pep would’ve had this guy and handcuffs and an ankle monitor by now.
@@iwantgoals1566pep made player don't forget already a star in making before going to Chelsea
So basically Why Cole Palmer is who Havertz is meant to be? Great vid as always
I can't remember where I read this but there was some talk internally at Chelsea that they feel Palmer is almost exactly the player they thought they were buying with Havertz. Funny old game!
@@FourFourTwo As a Chelsea fan, this was exactly my impression when Palmer first came in. Comparing footage of Havertz at Leverkusen to Palmer now you can definitely see the similarity. Not sure exactly why he (Havertz) never turned up in England, but that's the way it is for some players, I suppose.
@@TheBarroomHero321 havertz grew his height by 5 cms since joining Chelsea , I think that was the main reason why havertz doesnt feel the same with the ball , he couldnt adapt to his body . He is forced to be a target man striker now.
Do you really watch football. How on earth is havertz a target man striker? I know that's what Chelsea did to him but that's never what he was at Leverkusen and isn't what he is at arsenal.
@@michaelgoldsmith9359 where in this video or comment has anyone called Havertz a target man striker? Or did you just copy one of your draft comments
I dont think people understand the amount of work that goes into producing this master class of a videos. - Well done Clery. 🍻
😭 😭 😭 Thank you!
Palmer has been so cold, that he’s the reason why Chelsea are still only 3 points off a European spot with a game in hand, despite being 10th most of the season. Absolutely 🥶
What an intelligent breakdown, well done!
🤝 thanks man
The boy is too good. At this point it’s not arrogance or hype anymore… he really is HIM.
Nobody's impressed me with their brilliant instinct like this since I watched Kante at Leicester
How does Palmer take his penalty? He doesn't look at the goalkeeper's movement before the shot but always sends him the wrong side.
There has to be something abt his shot maybe they way he moves his legs or hips before shooting. Joao pedro seems to do this as well
There’s a good video on why left footed pen takers actually have a better chance scoring statistically by Tifo football
I think it might honestly be as simple as he just doesn't care what the goalie's doing. Backs himself regardless.
Same thing as Ivan toney and harry Kane, choose where you're taking your shot before the game and don't alternate.
It's the most impressive technique since hazard and balotelli. Hazard used to stand one foot away from the ball, look at the gk once in the eyes and then look at the ball until he kicks it the other way. Palmer stands a few feet away and never looks at the gk or anything except the fans at the back lmao. Balotelli would stand on the ball and literally just stare the gk down the entire time lmao. Those are my 3 favorite penalty takers in recent memory. Honorable mentions are Jorginho, Bruno Fernandez and Ivan Toney.
Bro's trying his hardest to not refer Messi in the video
All the pundits doing it lol
Yooo I was thinking the same thing especially when he got to 11:40 I was like if this looks & sounds eerily similar to a certain Argentina forward of the GOATED variety XD
😬
Lol
I love these analyses. Keep them up!
I've been saying this all season 😭. Literally every point he made. Watching him, his goals, his penalties, his underlying stats, him vs Bowen etc. Feel like anyone who's been watching him and has gone through the advanced metrics just gets it. And then you have all the people who very clearly don't watch him and just look at the scoresheet or the highlights, see 9 penalties and somehow come to the conclusion that's all hes good for. If anything his 100% conversion rate with all the distractions and pressure moments just adds to how good he's been. Most of us know he's an unbelievably technically gifted player but the pens actually show his mentality which is equally as impressive. Think slowly, game by game, more people are opening their eyes to just how good he is and how good he may become. But a lot of people are sleeping. Then in 2 or 3 seasons he'll finally start to get recognition from the people that dont like to give new players the credit they deserve straight away. Best player in England for me this season and one of the best players in the world. Only reason he wont get the individual awards at the end of the season is because you need trophies for that. But he's up there with the very best.
Spot on. Weirdly I think the inconsistencies throughout the Chelsea side help him in a way. Allows him to shine in multiple different roles as there's so many problems to solve on-field that others don't really deal with.
@FourFourTwo yep completely agree. The other Chelsea players are always looking for him when they get the ball. It's a great environment for his development tbh. Great videos btw. They're very thorough and I always find myself agreeing with your takes.
this player is carrying us like Eden used to do. its unreal. i cannot believe this.
I actually had a bit prepared for this comparing him to Hazard (and a few others) but the video was already way too long 😅
@@FourFourTwoNah, next time pls put it in. I'm sure many people won't mind if the videos are a bit longer. They are very good and informative ✊
He makes me think of Eden so much. So much talent and so much potential, it's players like this that get you trophies.
if you google premier league and go on to the stats tab, it shows Palmer as a top goalscorer who plays for Man City!
Bro I just love your humor 😂😂😂❤❤❤
🤝
"Might be an overlap with that instinct point but ... ITS MY VIDEO"! Okay, im subscribing 😂😂
🤝
if our other players could shoot palmer would have like 20 assists, hed have 20 goals and 20 assists in the prem. he couldve had 2 more against everton, guys a freak
As a chelsea fan, if we build around him, he will win the ballon d'or
He's the real deal, not since Hazard have we had a player this talented,watch out next season lads because Chelsea are on the way back.
He already has more hattricks tha hazard lmao
Hazard had 2 hattricks in the PL so they are level@@greensky18
I’m convinced palmer under Tuchel would do a madness. Tuchel helped us build a team that was defensively strong but lacked creativity.
Palmer really was smart with that transfer lol. He can be a long term Chelsea best player
I think Pep gave an interview right after he left saying he'd have gotten more minutes this year but given how often City rotate (and Doku coming in) he still wouldn't have been guaranteed to start. One of the best examples in recent years of a player just backing themselves and getting out of a comfort zone.
So true. People often get blinded by trophies. Would you rather a trophy on the bench or a golden boot.
Love the video but the only thing that he got wrong was that Madueke literally tried to take the pen off Palmer in the previous game vs Man United in the pressure penalty he won
DID HE!? Little tinker
The interesting part is that palmer has done this to keepers and defenders on several occasions where he seems to just predict where they play the ball, I just think his football brain is faster
palmer is him
He is so cold, someone get that boy a sweater. 🥶
Football people say some players have something you can’t teach. You just have to create a team to support them.
It's *exactly* this.
similar case with tiki taka tactic to support Barca Messi and counter attack tactic with Madrid CR7. Even Dyche Everton with so many crosses to the Tall Striker, Lewin or Beto
@@FourFourTwo 🫱🏾🫲🏼
Just wonderful demonstration from you and nice and clear explanation on how Cole Palmer plays
Please send this to my old school teachers
I'd like to see Messi's heat maps at the height of his European seasons. Bet it looks somewhat similar (no I'm not saying that Palmer=Messi)
Just had a check (furthest back I can find is 15/16) and aside from the fact he virtually never drops back into the RWB area to play those balls over the top it's pretty close
I absolutely love his movement. He doesn’t look quick as Madueke, but the way he’s going around opposition using the smart flicks and little touches even in very dense situations in box, is just mind blowing.
cold palmer is bringing us back to Eden Hazard days but on the other wing
Safe to say that Palmer is carrying chelsea. For next season, Poch & Todd need to build a team which suit Palmer style.
Palmer being in the run for golden boot, when scoring is NOT at all his best attribute, is wild to me.
He's our best signing in years
Also great video man. Well done with the editing. Always quality on this channel
Thanks man, really appreciate that. Just basically learning on the job with the editing side so glad people seem to like it!
I like the clinical assessments and the passion with which they're delivered. Totally brilliant.
Class video as always and cole palmer is quite the player isnt he. Going to be a killer for a long time!!
We talked about this in the office yesterday but it's scary to think that at the same age De Bruyne was still at Genk and Salah was still at Basel...
You got it. The 3rd goal was not just simply a fluke. He has been nicking balls like that throughout this season. Talk about awareness.
Wrong foot as well!
city selling Palmer and keeping Grealish is genuinely hilarious
Finalllly some Chelsea content more of this Adam
Been wanting to give them some love for a while now as all of our early season videos were focussed on what's been going wrong there. Still a lot to like about this side so here's hoping the results finally start to match that.
Cheers mate, enjoyed that a lot
🤝 Thanks
Palmer has been cooking in 2024 🔥
You forgot to mention that the 3rd goal was with his weak foot. And thats insane. Who tries that with their weak foot? Hes left footed man. Crazy. Poche should build the team around him if hes smart.
Go watch some old vid of his in mancity talking about his evolution, his dad taught him in such cases just shoot don't think and that's what he said about that goal.
Always top quality videos. Thank you. Btw. PLEASE DO AN HOUR SPECIAL ON COLE PALMER. Great insights from you
Great analysis!
I love the knowledge on this channel (only watch the chelsea vids tho) 💙💙
Incredible video
Love your videos
Goal Palmer top player.
Is he better than saka????
Veeeeery different players. If you swapped clubs for them I doubt either would look as good as they have this season.
Favorite futbol KZhead channel!!
🤝
What a player
I just cannot believe he didnt get more game time at city.
Honestly. Hes not that far frim the level of citys main team at least for matches against lower clubs. I think hes young and hungry, and was ready to flex his muscles; he seemed to know he was ready to start, there were just too many veterans in his way. I dont blame him for going, hes fabulous right now
Horses for courses. He's an incredible talent but you do feel like there's a particular mould for a 'Pep Player', and his natural instinct to just go and make stuff happen would have been hugely curbed. Still though, doubt they thought he'd be *this* influential so early.
This channel is pretty good
Jackson closing down pickford for the third goal was crazy
you are good at what you do
poch just probably said "just get out there and ball"
Think maybe Jackson and Madueke misheard him and that's why they were trying to snatch it before the penalty?
Player of the year? I think so
He's in the conversation for me. Nailed on to get Young Player of the Year (imo imo)
@@FourFourTwo could get golden boot, top assists, young player, best player, would be mad😂
player of the season... hands down
Honestly it feels like Palmer has a computer fitted into his brain.
It needs turned off and on again next time he's got an interview to do
this guy, as an Arsenal fan, I gotta say, you just gotta love Stone Cold Palmer. I cannot wait to see the England players do their thing in the Euro's!
Another banger!!!
What coaching board do you use for your videos?
"Why would you sell that?" One year left in the contract.
He didn't want to leave tho. He recently said he asked to go on loan and comeback after a year so he was open to a renewal.
This man looks like De Zerbi's brother.
I got mistaken for Limmy at the Old Firm game the other week...
Another great video 😂
Thanks 😅
COLE PALMER! RUNNING DOWN THE WING! COLE PALMER, BETTER THAN EGYPTIAN KINGS!
I ♥ Adam
I ❤ *you*
Guys, Palmers English. He's English, baby!
Nice mic
I actually started to count the days of the week that end with the letter Y...
All this Analogy doesn't win a game of football,Pure passion, individual moment of brilliance, team work ,Determination , relentlessness ..is as simple as that. Football is beyond digital analysis
Make a video of why he didnt work at city
5:36 I think that ball WAS meant for Palmer, if Jackson had let it through, Palmer meets it in stride
You gotta do Newcastle vs Spurs (4-0).
Would have *loved* to man but there's simply not the hours in the day 😩 (maybe I should just start working Sundays...)
@@FourFourTwo Nah, no worries, appreciate the much you do already, but it looks like imma have to solo my own analysis on this one tho lol.
Bowen and Palmer should be on the plane for the Euros with Rashford left at home
Yes! Probably not though thanks to Southgate
What we don't see for the 3rd goal is that Onana was the one that gestured for the pass. Thats why Pickford didn't use the other options. Not letting him off the hook though but it goes a way to explain why he sent the pass there. Secondly Palmer wouldn't have flourished this way at City. His free role allows him to do all of this n we know with Pep there isn't something like freedom for expression. Credit to Poch because in the beginning he started witv Penalty goals n now he's evolving to a scary goal scorer in game. Setpiece specialist next?
Chances created is directly proportional to shots taken. Chelsea players don't take many shots. They'll either take a touch or pass the ball while inside the box.
Let’s be honest we have to give poch credit for tactics and stuff
Hard to make the case when the results have been so spotty but he's done some decent work with this side. Hopefully next season they can kick on
1 cole palmer
must be a day that ended with the letter Y hahah
If He was still at City, it'd be: Haaland Foden. KDB. Palmer Imagine 😮
I wonder if there's a limit to the amount of greatness on the pitch, where at some point they start to limit each other. This one seems like it would be just the case.
You'd love to have seen a season of it but I can't imagine Palmer having anywhere near as much fun in a system where both the centre-forward and number 10 roles are so routinely locked down in-game. He'd have been told to stay as wide as possible in the final third and what a waste that would be.
Unless he was given a lot of freedom he would be just another winger in that attack.
I would be interested to find out why you made our chance creation look so bad when we are quite high up for big chances created and big chances missed
Palmer the Pen Merchant
Plamer at this Chelsea is like a Ferrari on the drive of a council house 😂
As a Chelsea fan I miss when Palmer wasn’t getting all this attention, allows for him to be undermined and pull off bangers outta nowhere
This. Like shut up before defenders start eying him
Are Chelsea better without Fernandez?
yes. very much so. it's the Caicedo Fernandez pairing that doesn't work.... like Stevie G and Lampard never did.
Yeah there's maybe a video in this as well. I think Fernendez is a wonderful player but he really needs to be in more of a calm/possession side. Struggles with how all-action Chelsea's midfield needs to be on occasion.
That goal was Messi-eque in it's unstoppability. Now he just needs to do that every season for 15 years! Serious talent though, he moves like a futsal player.
Stone Cold Cole Palmer😂😂nah that's great
🥶
Why didn't they want him to take the penalty?
Maybe the chels players are arguing before penalties so that opposition players don’t have the time to try out them off can’t wait for those think pieces to come out soon
To anyone who thinks this could've been done with lout poch... it couldn't
They're calling him Goal Palmer
Bellingham, Rice, and Palmer in the midfield (Foden can play left wing). Anything else and England will not win the Euros and Southgate has no excuses otherwise. There is not a team in Europe with this much young talent besides MAYBE Spain and France. Maybe.
Should be "anticipation" not "vision." Signed: me, Football Manager player.
You are 1000% right here and I'm annoyed at myself for not doing it. Signed: me, also Football Manager player
how long did chelsea sighn him for? i doubt he will be staying there much longer
Bro he literally signed 7 years with option for further 12 months, that like 8 years. If he keep performing this way, whoever wants to sign him might be paying over 120 million euros.
Oooooh crap
@@ikhe3547 Way more. The cost will have to cover the contract amortization for the rest of his years, and he's already around 60 just considering transfermarkt market price. If he doesn't drop his performance next season, he'll be around 150 by next summer and I doubt they'll sell him for less than 200. The boy already has as many EPL hat-tricks as Eden Hazard, Paul Scholes, Steven Gerrard, Sadio Mane, Riyad Mahrez, Gareth Bale and Alexis Sánchez managed in their entire Premier League careers.
With how long the contracts at chelsea are I doubt he would leave anytime soon, especially if he keeps his current form, and if he leaves it will be for a whole lot of money.
