I said it on this forum about 3 years ago that Palmer is a terrorist. Wetin the guy use academy team's eyes see na crime against womanity.
And because he is a Man Utd fan he always reserved his best performances against us. He has now carried it to the senior team.

World class Striker of course by virtue of his longevity in his craft and most importantly because I know that his lack of trophies is simply because of the team he used to play for before now. TOT never had the financial power to compete for trophies with the big boys.
So that means you necessarily don't have to win trophies for you to be rated as World class then.

I'm not saying Saka is world class, just clearing the air of you saying one must win trophy to be graded as world class (though it's very important)

Jorginho or Partey sit for Rice to roam freely in that midfield same is not for Caceido. Rice doesn’t have the tactical ability to sit, Caceido is a bit better at it but his area of strength is box to box. How is this difficult to understand.

For the first time, I agree with you. Being a very good DM requires high level of intelligence in positional awareness and discipline.

Caicedo is too foolish to be a DM.

If this is not a massive improvement in attack and massive decline in defence, I don't know what else can prove it.

The 2 screenshot below are league tables of last season and this season so far.

After scoring a paltry 38 goals in 38 matches last season, we have scored 53 goals in just 29 games this season. But look at the defence... Just look at it. Conceded 47 goals after 38 games last season, which is woeful for a "big 6" club. What do we have this season? We have conceded 50 goals currently. There are still 9 games to go!

If the defence improved on the figures of last season the way attack improved, there is no damn way we will be in the position we are right now. No way!

But but attack is our problem...

Saka plays in a far better team. Saka can never stand out like Palmer in this Chelsea team.

What makes Saka a world class player? What has he won ? Which of his performances actually won something for his team? Saka with his average technique is world class

Average technique that took England to euro finals? Dey play.

Maybe I need to start watching Arsenal vs Burnley, Sheffield united, Fulham, Luton Town to see all these qualities. Sadly, I don't have such time.

I have personally come to observe him vs Chelsea, Liverpool, Man u, Man city, Porto and I saw nothing.

These are the type of games I rate players from, not against significantly weaker opposition.
Are you talking about this season Saka or previous seasons?

You can't watch Saka of previous seasons and come out with this conclusion. Well it's your opinion tho

Read my post calmly. I said as long as a player plays for a big team capable of competing for major trophies and fails to win anything after repeated trials, he can't be regarded as world class.

Therefore two things makes a player World class; consistency in performance for at least 5 years or maybe more and trophies to show for it.

He is not smart at all. He makes argument against him so easy. Saying rubbish as if Palmer was suspended against that infamous Burnley game.

The same Sterling and Jackson he is deflecting the argument towards, are Chelsea's top 3 goal contributors this season, including Palmer.


Palmer 24 GA
Jackson 12 GA
Sterling 10 GA

But no, they are Chelsea's problem in an attack that is on 53 goals so far.

He is not having a bad season so I will use this season to assess him. He better turns up against Bayern, otherwise I will cancel him indefinitely.

In as much as I understand what Airmark is saying, to be honest, defense is our issue.

We can’t be conceding 2 goals and more every damn match. You aren’t always going to score 3-4 goals every match just like when we drew 2-2 against burnley I think.

Truth is, the defense has declined massively, but then our attack has grown and is causing opposition problems. In summary, as it stands defense is our problem

This season he's been carrying niggling injuries which have been affecting his play a while now.

If you're only using this season to assess him(when he's played like 3 seasons of good football), then it's unfair on him from you.

Top Striker or World class Striker??

When he mentioned big team, I knew he kind of excluded Kane because Totehman isn't a big team. I don't completely agree with his logic but I get his point though!

And faultless defence has conceded 50. It almost feels as if our attacks major opposition is our defence, and not opponents.

If we rate our defenders contribution by number of clean sheets, we will resort to donating their salaries to charity.

Palmer will actually get better when he gets stronger physically and gets a better manager. He also should be moved centrally.

If this boys brain correct, we can actually push for European place.

If we can win our outstanding match, we will shoot up to 7th place, 2 points behind Man Utd and take it up from there.... But no, they will take 3 steps back after this one step forward.

This logic is so flawed. So because Man city have won trophies Foden is world class but because Arsenal haven't then Saka is not world class lol. You are shouting big team without winning trophies like Arsenal have been dominating for years. They literally became good last season here. Their previous league finishes was 8th, 8th and then 5th. Saliba has been world class over the last two seasons, Arsenal winning a trophy or not doesn't change that. Same with odegaard and others.

I remember when Reece James first joined the senior team and several people here were criticising him. I said then that that guy would be a high level performer cos he was like a street bully in the juniors. After a season those same critics were claiming he was the best RB in the world.

Same thing this season. People who were crying salty tears when Palmer was bought are now claiming he is better than Bellingham, Foden, and even Saka combined. 😄

Tottenham isn't a big team. No ambitious player will dream playing for them at this point.

City, Liverpool, Arsenal, United and Chelsea. These are the big teams in England for now!

Key word is "For Now" because 13 years ago, I wouldn't add City there and if you go way back, then Chelsea wasn't a regular customer too.
