mcatee miles off the first team on this 10 min showing
palmer is streets ahead

Agree. Clearly talented but miles off the pace.

Good goal for them. Silly from us

Possibly a little early to judge after 10 minutes, don’t you think?

Sure but hes done some things that pep will hate, little flick to lose possession an example of it. I did think hed have a tap in if palmer had of squared that but he recovered the situation well.

[john@staustell]

Best full back in the world conspicuous by his absence

Shaw?

[blues2win]

Ake off Mbete on. Palmer off Kayky on.

[john@staustell]

The boy is on

[Harry Dowd scored]

Cole Palmer is not bad is he

[nottsblue]

Kayky on for his debut

Wonder if he will put the icing on the cake

[PeterParker]

Palmer scored some cracking goals this season, none can't remember being dull.
Very promising. VERY.

[Dameerto]

I suffered from a bit of Cake-Eye myself over Christmas.

[Nick]

Palmet class

Mcatee too imo

Aye, but, as Mase mentions, he’s just coming back from injury as well.

I’d suggest that this isn’t about how he plays, this is about getting him accustomed to a full stadium and all that goes with it.

Followed by a lot of Kak.

[blues2win]

Nice bit of pace by Kayky.

[Piccsnumberoneblue]

Sell De Bruyne now for mega money. Another poor performance amongst many other over the last 18 months

To who?

I'd swap him for Mbappe in a heartbeat

You don't think there would be big queue to sign him?

[Dameerto]

That rattled the plastic-work.

[blues2win]

Cracking strike by Rodri.

[Beefymcfc]

Great shot, great save.

[Nigels Tackle]

rodders looks twice the size of all the other players on the park

[Beefymcfc]

Gotta love Bernie, making sure the young lads get a touch and show what they can do.

[blues2win]

Very comfortable. Occasional sloppiness. Job done.

Shaw?

The only decent Shaw I can think of played up front for Villa.
