https://x.com/brfootball/status/1840062255724925113?s=46It was cold outside today lol. Cole Palmer made history today as the first player in the Premier League to score four goals in the first half of a game. His free kick was beautiful, I watched the replay like four times already. Cole Palmer is on a different level. No wonder he’s being compared to Lamine Yamal. Kudos to Cole Palmer he was superb in every aspect of the game.
Chelsea had a great game today, nobody really so that coming. We all know Brighton had a great record this season, they haven't lost any game. Both Brighton and Chelsea were really poor defensively, but the Chelsea Attack was on fire. Big ups to Maresca and his boys.
Cole Palmer just can't stop improving in every game he plays for his darling club Chelsea. His record breaking performance today in Chelsea's victory against Brighton is a strong indication that the England international's impressive records for Chelsea last season didn't happen by luck but because he's got the qualities of a world class footballer.
Saying Cole Palmer is being compared to Lamine Yamal I think is a disrespect to Palmer who has already shown his potentials before Yamal came to limelight. If Cole Palmer can continue with this kind of performance he displayed today, Chelsea might be winning the English Premier League title this season
Cole Palmer really had one of the best games of his career and made history as the first player to score 4 goals in minutes, but I think it's too early to say that Chelsea can win the EPL this year, because Arsenal and Manchester City are also showing a great game.
Also Manchester City always start the season weak, but in the second part of the season they add a lot to the quality of their game and almost never lose, so it will be very difficult for Chelsea to fight with such teams at the end of the season, besides Chelsea's game is very much dependent on Palmer and without him Chelsea looks like a completely different team.
I don't remember Chelsea's game depending so much on one player, well maybe when Azar was at the dawn of his powers and could single-handedly bring victories to the team, since then there hasn't been such a clear star in Chelsea's lineup.
I agree only with the fact that Palmer is a much stronger player than Yamal, his statistics of goals and assists are many times better than Yamal's and if Southgate was not afraid to release him more often, I think things could have worked out much better for the England national team.
