Palmer — 10G 1A in 26 games
Saka — 7G 5A in 31 games
Rashford — 8G 7A in 32 games
Gordon — 6G 2A in 26 games
Eze — 7G 2A in 32 games
Madueke — 3G 1A in 26 games
Palmer scored more league goals than all of them in fewer games than Saka, Rashford and Eze, and still got left out of the World Cup.
Now the squad is short and they want him back like that never happened. Call Saka. Call Madueke. Call Gordon. Call the players they actually took.
João Pedro did the same with Brazil. Left out of the World Cup, then asked to turn up for friendlies like nothing changed. Both of them know their worth. If you did not want them when it mattered, do not expect them to drop everything when it is convenient.
He already got the message. No need to pretend this call-up changes it.
Wow. They’ve thrashed us. Truly embarrassing. Spent all that money and into the 5th season under these owners and we’re being spanked by Brentford. Many people at Chelsea in jobs that they should never be anywhere near. Disgraceful.
