Cole Palmer moves off-grid to break free from ghost in Chelsea's machine | Barney Ronay
Briefly

Chelsea's recent match featured Cole Palmer's impressive performance, culminating in his first goal since January after a prolonged drought. Despite Chelsea's 2-0 lead and a later penalty score, there are ongoing discussions about optimizing Palmer's role. His post-match comments reflect frustrations with social media critics. Although Chelsea's four consecutive wins signal a potential upward trend, questions remain about the team's strategy moving forward, especially with upcoming challenges and financial inflows like the Club World Cup revenues shaping their future.
“Cole Palmer did something off-grid, unprescribed and, in context, quite surprising, skittering past Conor Bradley near the corner flag, veering inside with that surprising gangly turn of speed.”
“Chelsea have been on an upturn in results in the last few weeks... but this is clearly not the greatest use of Cole Palmer, and another note in the lingering bad taste around this place at times.”
