Cole Palmer or Phil Foden?

[B_G]

Both as 10’s behind Kane with Bells partnering Rice please

I'd have Mainoo as one of our top 3 performers so far. I wouldn't be dropping him to accomodate Foden.

He's another one who's carried the ball to break lines and look forward.

Palmer -
22 goals, 9 from pens / freekicks = 13 goals from open play

Plus 12 assists = 25 goal involvements


Foden -
19 goals, 2 from pens / free kicks = 17 goals from open play.

Plus 8 assists = 25 goal involvements




So absolutely nothing in it, even with pens out of the equation.

The only difference is Foden was playing with Rodri, Haaland… Palmer was playing with Conor Gallagher, Nicholas Jackson…

Love how you put together pens and free kicks as if they're the same :LOL:

Last season:
Goals scored:
Foden 19 (0 pens) 19 non pen goals
Palmer 22 (9 pens) 13 non pen goals

Assists:
Foden 8
Palmer 11

Non Pen goals and assists:
Foden - 27
Palmer - 24

There was only 1 person in the league that scored more non pen goals than Foden last season...and that was Haaland.

There were 10 other players who scored more non pen goals than Palmer in the league.

Whatever way you want to spin it, there’s hardly anything in it in terms of open play goal involvements.

One is playing for arguably one of the greatest teams of all time, surrounded by world class players and a world class manager, and the other one dragged a terrible Chelsea side to a 6th place finish

Phil Foden
Cole Palmer

 

[FabioPorkpie]

Foden. It’s not even close…. yet.

Respectfully i disagree, I'd hazard a guess in 12 months you will be on board the Palmer for England shout Feel free to hoof if i am wrong

It only took a few months before I bought my ticket and boarded that train, so you called it . Top class talent.

 

[Scrug]

Wheyyyyy, people are finally waking up to it. The boy Palmer is special.

 

[TeaCider]

It's still Foden.

 

[naively_optimistic]

Perhaps we're all overthinking this.... Which is a bit 'Gareth like'..... It might be as simple as..... In Man City's team and how they play.... It's Foden and in this England team it's Palmer..... Horses for courses and all that!

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

The Spanish manager would have had Foden and Palmer playing.

 

[parmoboy]

Foden is a good player but Palmer will go on to become the better player.

Foden is only capable of being effective playing in a certain system.

 

[AytonMews]

The Spanish manager would have had Foden and Palmer playing.

And Bellingham? And Saka?

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

And Bellingham? And Saka?

Possibly one of them.

 

[Scrug]

It’s Palmer!

 

[Block21]

Think I might be converting

 

[atypical_boro]

They’re both good players who are capable of fantastic runs of form.

But I won’t change my mind any time soon that Foden has not quite been good enough for England, or that he’d thrive in the same way if he left City.

Palmer is world class
Foden is working class

 

[FabioPorkpie]

Palmer is special. Easy to say after he’s just banged 4 in, but fair play to those who saw it long before the rest of us

 

[Glover_elbow]

Fook me how poor was Brightons high line today they looked awful

 

[Ex Footy Legs]

Now that Chelsea's crazy run of penalties have dried up...and so has Palmer's returns....can we all agree that this question was a ridiculous one?

 

[Marvanelli]

No way are people still comparing Foden multiple POTY winner to Palmer

Wow.
