Pretty clear to anybody paying attention that the effort was there today, he was chasing down ahead of Fam many times. The end product wasn't there but for someone whose job is to play through balls and create the long balls over his head to a static front line is a bit of a disadvantage to say the least.

HoldenBall Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 He hasn't perfected the art of when to release the ball and when to keep dribbling. This is probably why he's playing for Bristol City and not in and around the Chelsea team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Red Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 The jury is out for me on Palmer im afraid. Looks too wishy washy. Will he actually chip in with a decent amount goals and assists this season i wonder. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winsaw Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 I don't think he's a number 10 would be better in a 3 man midfield, today we didn't play him to his strengths, he worked hard and did close down, but having him do this takes away the creative side of his game which we so needed today, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin1988 Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 One of our better performers the few times he had the ball. When we actually took Leeds in the first half hour he was our most creative player. He got around everywhere too, looks a lot fitter than last season. As for being lazy, he nipped in ahead of his man a number of times to nick the ball back so unless I got lucky and only remember the single moments where he played well I’ll respectfully disagree.

But in either case if you're a player who is in the side to pick a pass but the ball is going over your head most of the time, and on the rare occasion you get it to feet nobody ahead of you is making runs, it's going to be unproductive.

This is probably why he's playing for Bristol City and not in and around the Chelsea team. He is very loathe to play simply and backwards hence he lost possession so frequently and freely. There was a period in the first half where he was disposed six times out of six because he was hanging onto the ball taking five and six touches when one or two would have retained possession. Out of possession he appears to not understand where to position himself in City's midfield block. He was showing players inside instead of outside allowing Leeds to play out easily.

Roger Red Hat Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 I thought Kasey was the same as when he was here last season, didn't do enough, disappeared for a while, and I wouldn't have him in the starting team. Unless LJ has a plan for him a la Bobby Reid transformation, I think he's a waste of money. Seems like a nice bloke though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchay Red Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 I think he will be a good signing, but he can't do it on his own. I would play him and Paterson behind Weiman. And leave FD on the bench (in Ashton Park) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red white and red Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Thought Palmer was one of our best players on the park for us. Wanted the ball, drove forward, fought back and showed strength when he lost it. Good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Welch Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Same as last season - gets into good positions but holds on to the ball for far too long when there's a pass on. This needs to be coached out of him ASAP. Thought he was the only one in the middle who didn't allow himself to get bullied physically though.

weepywall Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Didn't really impress me much last season, Kalas and Dasilva are great signings from Chelsea but Palmer I'm not so sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 How was he meant to get in the game when the ball was flying over his head to a solitary forward ? He had a couple of good runs, but saw little of the ball, when he did have it, what were his options, we were so static no one was pushing forward or making themselves available. Worst, why are we playing him as a CM ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddBallJim Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Wasn't really impressed with him I have to be honest. Lost the ball cheaply far too often, got booked and seemed to lose his head before being subbed. A bad day at the office? I hope so. He looks like there is something in him to be unlocked, but not in that position/role he played today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Famaras mobility does not affect Palmers inability to find one of his other team mates with the ball or his decision to hang onto to possession taking too many touches till dispossessed. Bristol City have had an extended look at this player in its XI, his wastefulness in possession was a theme previously. Again I would ask how will this player fit in with the team?

Your last sentence is the interesting one....he needs to adapt in terms of defensive work rate and releasing the ball quicker....if he doesnt do that he wont play regularly.

Redrascal2 Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 I had hoped that Palmer and Sammie being signed would see the back of Paterson. What he offers to the team I cannot see. He is lightweight , has no real pace and little impact on a game as he showed yesterday. But however poor he is LJ has him in. What sort of message does it send out to players who get stuck in and work hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 It's our formation that was the problem not him. The amount of times he had the ball in the middle and only had Fammy in front of him being marked by a defender. I said before he is a good signing but LJ needs to find a formation to get the best out of him. Certainly wasn't yesterday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
