Hey Lads was having a heated discussion with my mates over who u would rather have on your team, me being a newcastle fan am delighted in having gordon and think he has been exceptional for newcastle at the start of the season and really had a breakthrough u21’s euros with england and was arguably their best player in the tournament. However haven’t seen enough of cole palmer to really intrigue me is a great talent for sure and my friends were adamant he is better than gordon but want to get second opinions on it.
Cole Palmer is getting a lot of praise for being a pen merchant. I can’t work out if it’s over hype or the British pundits and media doing their usual “build ‘em up to drag em down” stunt.
If you watch us play you’d see that’s not the case, for example the first half against Brentford everything basically went through him and we should’ve gone into HT with the lead. He gets plaudits because he’s good a people, you then get lazy people like yourself who just assume he scores penalties hence the plaudits.
Plus considering Bruno was getting similar plaudits when he first joined for the same thing as you’re suggesting it wouldn’t then be a British thing.
It’s nothing to do with penalties, take out all his goals and he’s still been Chelsea’s best player since he joined
It’s not his goals he is being praised for watch football with your eyes he is a creative spark for our team and already has 4 assists
