Port Said Red Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Did he try to score from a corner again? They said that the wind was behind us in the second half and I am sure he made a deliberate attempt to put in that top corner, Etheridge was a bit more alive to it than Swansea's 'keeper.

Shuffle Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Just needed a run of games to get him going. Skillful and technical ability never in doubt & whilst I’ve never thought he didn’t work hard he’s doing it in the right areas. Well done Kasey and rounds off a perfect week for him. Hope some of the vocal doubters at least have the decency to acknowledge his contribution. Consistency the key but he has it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardy Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Yep & not forgetting he has had an emotional week & probably less sleep than normal! Well played Kasey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomThumb84 Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Always needed a manager who could push the right buttons with him and believe in him. Also having grown up playing in a Chelsea set-up where some of the worlds finest came in and out of the door, probably needed managing in a different way. Something which no-one at out club has had the nous or experience to do until Nige has come in. Sometimes you do not bother with the things you do not understand. Luckily we have seen fit to appoint a manager who is the measure of the ambition of our players and we are starting to reap the dividend. I expect Palmer to be central to Nige’s plans should he stay longterm and that’s an exciting thing to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishRed Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 The lad is a real talent, always said so. He now looks the player he can be not should be. Probably has a huge amount of input from Nige and it is paying off. Delighted for him and congratulations on the birth of his second son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviestevieneville Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 For all his fantastic attacking play , the stand out for me was his tracking back & tackle on the edge of our own box. Best game for us by a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packman Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Lazy, doesn't want to be here, doesn't track back, can't tackle, obsessed with social media and his mrs is a bad influence on him according to some of the experts on here. Well done Kasey, what a great week for the lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks a real player now he’s had that run of games. Work rate - That’s the bit that impressed me the most. A couple of tackles he did as well as closing down was really good to see .

You and me both. I'd completely written him off being a success here a few weeks ago under Holden. Just goes to show what a decent manager can do with a player who's always had plenty of natural talent. Joy to watch today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Very good performance today, against lacklustre opposition. He's got skills and took his goal very well, but I still have my doubts as to his potential long-term contribution. Not sure I yet buy into "the Pearson effect" that some seem so keen to recognise. There were plenty of variables going into this week so exactly why his deserved MOTM award today is instantly ascribed to Big Nige I don't know - there's no proof of any causation there at all. I get that it's a persuasive argument, and it enables pleasant dreams of a Pearson-inspired Palmer-driven romp to the Prem...but one game doesn't prove anything. Always happy to see any City player take the MOTM award though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 He's always had the talent, he could always see and play a pass. He's always been able to hold the ball under pressure. I think that the spell at Swansea and the fact we were happy to send him on loan may have given him an epiphany , or a wake up call. Add that Pearson will be more able to give him so real direction and you have some one who's work rate bears no relation to the player everyone fell in love with when he first came. He looks fitter, stronger and much more willing to work and defend. He can get better, smarter , but what an improvement . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodjias Wrist Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 He said in his interview that when he got his first touch on goal Nahki was shouting composure. When I watched the game highlights after you can hear it quite loud two shouts before he scores. Great to see that sort of encouragement on the pitch from team mates.

petehinton Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 That can’t be right, a decent majority on here said he clearly didn’t care, had a bad attitude, too flash, only cared about social media bla bla bla.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 A brilliant gem of a player. It's taken adversity and a proper manager to get the best out of his undoubted talents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KegCity Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Covered the whole pitch, made a fantastic challenge to win the ball out wide and play in Semenyo who then won a free kick. Finally seeing the best of him (and others) now they’re getting a run of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colemanballs Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 Happy to give Pearson plenty of kudos for what he's doing generally, but I thought Palmer's improvement began under Holden, immediately after he came back from Swansea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did, and then having given him 5 starts on the trot (his most under LJ was 2 - scandalous!!!) which included 3 wins, Holden made him the scapegoat after the 5th game v Derby. 5 sub appearances followed. Now made 6 successive starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
