Tactical Analysis: The Palmer Role
Looking at Cole Palmer’s heat map vs Wolves — it’s organized chaos. He doesn’t play as a classic winger, nor is he fixed as a #10.
Under Rosenior, he acts as a "free radical" — drifting between lines, destroying the opponent's structure with his off-the-ball movement. It reminds me of Thomas Müller in his prime, but with better dribbling.
Question for the analysts: how do you even man-mark a player with this range of movement without breaking your own defensive shape? 👇📊
@itzelfklein What chess game? What are you talking about? Real Madrid are just buying players from us who don't want to play without the Champions League
@BBCSport@LewisMoody7@benyoungs09 Massive strength to Lewis, and huge thanks to Ben for not being afraid to dig deep. This matters for the whole sport.
@Blue_Footy Lavia came on and instantly showed class, even in just 15–20 minutes you could see the lad is on another level. Just please don’t let him get injured again, I’m begging 🙏
Time to make him and Caicedo a proper fixed midfield pairing already, stop torturing the midfield ffs
