When asked why Palmer wasn’t starting LJ most definitely said that Palmer (paraphrased) ‘ He hasn’t yet adapted to the City style of play’. Remember that I listen and pay attention to via whatever media outlets everything City related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s about a specific team selection, when did he say what you attributed to him about Palmer not being on the ‘shopping list’? In the most recent LJ interview I heard he said he’d love to have a full pre season of coaching Palmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez.........think about it........Why would LJ sign a midfielder like Palmer when there will be better midfielders already on the shopping list? As fans we’re not privy to various negotiations that are/have been taking place but it’s very likely that MA will have secured signings already but not yet revealed because of holidays ect ect.

Not happy with him not playing to the team ‘identity’ - whatever that is.... If that's the case, then I'd agree with LJ. Palmer was Tomlinesque in many ways. Had ability, but not a 'team' man imo. Didn't work hard enough defensively and often tried 'moves' in dangerous areas that left us vulnerable. However... according to this quote from May... https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/lee-johnson-plans-keep-three-2835569 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hardworking team, that play for one another, disciplined, that play to Instruction, both defensively and offensively. Those that don't do all, tend to be dropped or used as Subs.

Man City immediately spring to mind. Maybe that’s where LJ got the idea to adopt the same method of play with Pep with whom he has a good relationship.
