- After Cole Palmer’s 4 goal masterclass against Brighton at the weekend, Lyés Bouzidi and CultureCams sit down and analyze his rise to superstardom, what makes him such a genius footballer, and where he sits amongst the current greats in the Premier League.
All this and more in the latest episode of The Eye Test with @brfootball
Someone tell Cams to SIGN FOR SDS FULLTIME🐐
Here we go loading
His knowledge is too good for SDS.
Not too good, lyes lit won twice in a row absolutely animsl
he's not somali unfortunately
Cycle the same content... sds for u15s
I understand why people want him to play CL football before crowning him becuase he has to prove that he can perform in high pressure games. However there is no higher pressure games in football than finals. Palmer played in 4 finals last season while scoring in 3 of them + assisting euro semi winner.
What would playing in CL prove that he didn't already prove last season?
UEFA Super Cup, Community Shield, Euro Final, all scored goals
This season so far, only Bournemouth came with the strategy to stop Palmer. As soon as Palmer gets the ball, 2-3 players were surrounding him from all sides. That's how they kept him quiet and Chelsea almost drew/ lost the game. The rest didn't respect him much and he did them good.
West ham and crystal palace games as well. West ham players fouled him 9 times in the game and he still scored. West ham players marking Palmer created so much space for Jackson and he destroyed them. Teams can't just afford to mark him with multiple players due to the threat of the other attackers.
Never forget cams after we lost the man city said that Jorginho kova galladog would still start in our midfield
tbf kova probably still could....jorginho not anymore even though he was so important years ago. and gallagher no chance
@@melosivitchkova lmao over lavia? Caicedo? Palmer?
@@kennyt.k3579 over Enzo. There’s certain games where Enzo is most suited, for example Brighton playing a high line. But sometimes Kova would be an important partner to Caicedo to keep the tempo, and hold possession, recycle, and break the press, as Kova is one of the most press resistant players in world football.
@@melosivitchare you smoking crack? Gallagher is tearing it up at atleti. He would absolutely start over Enzo just as he did all last season
@@melosivitch And Lavia is more press resistant...
It's amazing how he does those magics with ease!
3:46-5:25 Cam, you sound like me when my wife is telling me a long story about her day at work😂
We will know how good Cole Palmer is when Chelsea becomes a good team and oppositions starts parking the bus against them.
The space Brighton gave Chelsea and Cole Palmer was wild, teams like City rarely gets that type of space.
Geniune question but you know he scored 21 goals and had 15 assists last season too. Against multiple teams that had low blocks. These aren't the first 6 goals he's scored.
Same thing, people still don't consider Chelsea a team that is threatening, that's what even these two said once they do they'll find it difficult.
+ Palmer is the only player in Chelsea they built upon so once they start low block and defending him with two players like they do against Foden and Saka.
That's when we'll see how he performs .
Not saying he will be bad, but just wait till all that starts to judge him. Stop hyping up to just blame him later if he doesn't perform.
@@rushabhrathod5955 I understand to an extent but I still think as someone who watched a lot of Chelsea last season there were a lot of low blocks teams that palmer single handedly played through when the entire team was struggling. Once game that instantly jumps to mind is against Luton. I agree palmer has a long way to go and it's amazing he's only improving but seems like this is not soemthing he has to prove anymore in my books atleast.
@@fail6416 low block of Luton vs low block of Arsenal and Real Madrid and some others is a completely different ball game. I understand what everyone is saying. I am not saying he is nothing in comparison to others but it's easy to say you are the best and then blame that where is the spark when you face real competition, he was not able to perform against city that was without Rodri and some other players.
So stop the hyping him up trend to just ask or say ohh he performs against low teams when he dips down ( if he does, which I don't believe he will ), let him grow .
@@rushabhrathod5955Palmer isn't even pacey or strong..yet still performs well whoever he comes up against.
It's the footballing IQ and composure under pressure is what sets him apart.
People crying about Messi and Ronaldo being gone and football not being the same… I genuinely can’t relate, this era of football with all these youngsters coming up is super exciting
Scoring 4 goals against Brighton makes you the best in the world nowadays
Facts. The PnP era is very slowly going away.
@@Chillguy850 Messi fans boys (you) are so jarring, always trying to gaslight
@@Chillguy850if you are playing in the premier league irrespective of the team you playing against scoring 4 goals in first half is not a joke. Not everyone can do it. Hence he is the first one to do it.
Im sure you are not a football fan orlse you wouldve known brighton team is not just any low level team.
We all already move on from them two
Dropping in the random Bruno slander outta nowhere 😂
Had to be said lol respectfully he’s one of the most overrated players I’ve seen at my club.
The intro is back 😂
Cole Palmer is similar to Ozil. The only difference is Ozil looked for assists first. Palmer looks for scoring first
Kills me that they have these conversations and then say football fell off😂😂😂, there are many special players that people are failing to acknowledge or nostalgia is just hyping up the past where it makes the present look mediocre
Thea never David football is falling off but it is declining.
@@therealhb1763 the footballers are better, it’s just the advanced tactics that may restrain their overall quality, but football hasn’t declined at all
@@Prime1Wunnathe average footballer is better but the tactics limit the true mavericks off football. Cole Palmer is a maverick that’s dying in football. That’s all it is, palmers are chained for the system and the art of football has died as a result. Not the ability but the art
The average footballer is better but the top players have been a step down from Messi Ronaldo Kaka R9 Dinho etc but tactics and being able to stop the oppositions best player is more effective than ever
lol you say football is not falling off and your example is Cole Palmer?! Bro, if he's the answer then football has fallen off more than ever.
23:28 the thing is, yes exactly what Cam said is correct, but idk why were acting like he can’t cause damage from the RW when he literally played there for at least half the games last season. If I’m not mistaken, more than half. And he 100% is better than Rodrygo (Who is a great player himself)
100 if u open ur eyes u can see he’s by far the best in the league, we should be walking world at this point
Cams was a W on SDS get him back often
Cole Palmer, Luka Doncic says keep playing at your own pace. Much respect for Cold Palmer.
Love this duo💙
Generational Glazing
Tbh this is partially wrong saying he doesn’t make small passes and link up play and saying he doesn’t dribble past a man is wrong, wouldn’t really call him a second striker cos he drops deep he just makes the second run into the box
it just looks like football cames natural to him and thats a rare trait. It reminds me of Leao, when you see Leao play it looks like its all instinct to him
Some dead example 😂😂
@@Iamwhatyousayiam😂😂😂
Out of all players in the world you chose Leao?
@@lovemannen6176 whats the issue with leao
@@Iamwhatyousayiam whats the issue with leao
He would get into and start at any club .. with his current form he is starting at any club
quarterly player stock updates would go crazy
Cole Palmer gets into every starting 11 in the world
No
Lyes Cole is cold
I believe Kobbie Mainoo is of the same mold but Ten hag uses him incorrectly in my opinion, Mainoo and Zirkzee link up would be mad but sadly we are starved of the potential link up….
Its as lyes says so often. Just believe what you are seing with your eyes. Cole palmer is the future. If you dont have him as a top 5 player in the world you obviously just dont watch him play.
Cole palmer is like watching a professional fifa player play he is a robot he just has better accuracy with a football than anyone ive ever seen play in the prem along with the footballing mind to put that accuracy to use.
He puts the ball exactly where he wants genuinely 90% of the time. His accuracy and quick analysis can only be described as robotic
Rop 5 in the World ? He is not Even top 4 10s in the word
@@therealhb1763 lmao. Aight bro. More GA better advanced stats YOU don't watch him so stay over there and when it becomes common knowledge make sure to stay over there.
Thanks lad
@@therealhb1763please name 4 better you clown lmao. Don’t you dare say Florian Wirtz😂. Ødegaard isn’t better, KDB isn’t better. Jude Bellingham showed in the Euros how tragic of a 10 he truly is with his limited creativity so don’t say him either.
@@therealhb1763 Top 10? He's barely top 50.
When is the going on Spotify?
Maybe good maybe shlt
But one thing is sure, Palmer is ice cold🥶
16:32 Cole Palmer with explosiveness, that’s just Messi
lol
Cold Palmer is who pep thought Foden would be.
💯😂
He’s #2
Haaland is clearly the best and has been since he arrived in the prem
best goalscorer not player
@@onset6ixhe is the best player
@@therealhb1763 not even the best on his own team
@@therealhb1763if nobody creates for Haaland...can he create chances for himself? Palmer can.
@@IamwhatyousayiamTbf Haalands movements gives him the opportunity to pretty much always get those chances for himself. Palmer this season has been the best itl so far tho
cole palmer atm is the best. other players may pick it up as the season goes on tho. but right now he is saucing 🔥🔥
thyeve been man marking palmer all year lol he has atleast 2 to 3 guys on him everytime he touches the ball
Not for me yet, he has to hit these levels in the UCL and premier league playing twice a week to get into these conversations.
Why are u bring cl to a pl convoy
@@therealhb1763becaus the ucl is the biggest club competition in the world and you have to perform in that as well to be called the best player in your league
@@lovemannen6176 no u haven't that's for being called the best in ucl or eurpa. If ur the best in pl then u the best in pl.
@@therealhb1763 Because the absolute best players are playing on the weekend in the EPL and then midweek in the UCL and still hitting the numbers. It takes years to earn the title best player in the Premier League. Let Palmer perform in these same conditions like Salah, Haaland and KdB and then he can enter the chat.
The English Kaka? (I know he's not as good as Kaka yet but that's who he reminds me of.)
I genuinely belive he's the best in the world
I remember them saying a lot of similar things about foden last season…Funny how one Euros changes your perception eh
Jobe Bellingham for Striker 👀
Cole at the 10 and Jude at the 8 box crashing would be dangeroussss. Keep Foden out, he wastefully takes up space both those players want to occupy
Hes the best in the world
may be top 10
It's Haaland
Aguero scored 4 in 1 half
Oh teams have already started man marking him (happened against Bournemouth and West Ham). I still think he will find ways to hurt teams
22:13 NO WAY, Palmer is a great talent but no way he gets in the team over MUSIALA. Real Madrid is debatable since they currently lacking “creativity” in their midfield. But Bayern bruh even Chelsea fans know Palmer not better than Musiala.
U don't know football if u think musiala s better than palmer come on musiala s selfish doesn't create enough chances for his team mate
Real Madrid have a midfield link up issue, not really a creative issue. They are missing a deep playmaker, obviously that is not the only way to play, but a '10' is not who they need. From Chelsea someone like Enzo Fernandes would suit them better, even though Palmer is a better player than him.
@@theapplicant3424 we're saying the same thing. "Creativity" for me doesn't limit to 10 only. It comes from 'Playmaker' (most of the time) that's why they call dem 'deep-lying' playmaker. RM have too many box-to-box mf rn. Pogba is a DLP and he played double pivot with Kante in WC2018. That's why i think RM needs him.
@@bonuz1129 But palmer is not a deep-lying playmaker, He is an attacking midfielder. You're right that a Pogba profile would be good for madrid, if he's still the old Pogba.
@@theapplicant3424 Yes, Palmer and Pogba is a whole different topic here. I did not say Palmer is a DLP at all. We agree on that part.
He gets in over Rodrygo
Might not be purely better, but definitely better on the right
This palmer being best debate is actually wild considering how rodri kdb halaand salah play in this league people just find a shiny new toy every season
New toy syndrome until KDB is gone he’s the best in the league
Salah second
Acting like Palmers form is from one game lol, he’s been the best since last season.
That and let`s not forget Palmer is English, and PL fans tried to do the same thing with Saka.
although Palmer is better then Saka, but he isn`t better then Haaland, KDB or Rodri.
Salah and Palmer might be a discussion
@@BSTComps No he wasn`t even the best player in the league last season.
Palmer is a quality player and he is without a question within the top 10 best players in the league, but he isn`t THE BEST.
@@thetruth4654what argument do you have for haalland being better though? Because it can’t be g/a kdb hasn’t been at the same level as his peak for a while as well
I am top 3 for sure💙🩵🥶🥶🥶
Palmer over Ø 😭😭. Nahh we need him back
Not really comparable, Palmer is more of shadow striker whereas Ødegaard is more of an 8. Both have crazy ability don’t act like it’s a shocking take bro.
Chelsea will play Club World Cup in January. That's where we can see his real quality.
Summer.
@@Iamwhatyousayiam oh yeah thanks for correction.
I disagree it’s clear already this season everybody targets palmer and even at the end of the last season.
Hot take .
Pep is the reason Palmer left 😢.
he is the best player
V bottom sides 😅😅😅
I don't think I agree with palmer over ø
Palmer can make at madrid , Just Drop Rodrigo , 4 1 2 1 2
Defense
Carvajal Rudgier Militão Mendy
Midfielders
Tchouameni
Valverde Jude
Palmer
Front
Mbappe Vini
0 control in midfield
But he defo does start for madrid
@@shivaanmcfc7512 I get this point, and I actually worried about the balance at Chelsea when moving Palmer centrally. But Valverde and Jude actually work pretty hard off the ball tbh, and in LaLiga, control wouldn't matter the same as PL, in UCL deep stages, maybe more.
SPAIN has the best crop of footballers not England. By the time the World Cup comes around, they will even be better and stronger than the euros.
England have 5 world class attacking players at this moment and you can't say that about Spain. Spain might have more potential, but at this point England have a better squad
@@MsRQD 😂😂😂😂world class? Everyone is world class nowadays. You call it football twitter lol. Those BUMS won NOTHING FOR ENGLAND. world class my ASSSSS

Bro if Palmer gets in as a RW then that’s not the sammme.
Cause Palmer is not better than Olise or Bernardo Silva or even Rodrygo on the RW. He has not PROVEN that.
And he’s not better the Musiala, KDB/Foden, or Jude at CAM.
And he straight up doesn’t fit Arsenal unless you wanna play him ST. Which I think he could. He can do everything Gabriel Jesus does and more. But would he be at his best??
He played 80% of last seasons games as RW and had a record breaking debut season. Where has this notion come from that he hasn't proven he can be RW?
Since the beginning of last season ( Palmer started his 1st Chelsea game on game week 7 btw) only Kane has more goal contributions than Palmer in whole europe. Palmer for the last 14 months has performed at a level that Olise, Bernardo, Musiala, foden has never reached so far in their careers so how could they be better than him?
@@Korin541 that’s cap. He actually started CAM 41% of his starts. Which was in the latter half of the season… when he was destroying teams and not just a PK merchant
@@wayneverhoff2790 Still played significant amount of the season as a RW so you're wrong on that he hasn't proven he can play as a RW.
Now that's a CAP. Palmer scored 4 penalties in the last 2 months of the season when he started playing CAM and 6 penalties in the previous 8 months.
You deflected the question I asked so I'll ask again. How can the players you mentioned be better than him if they haven't performed to the level Palmer has performed for the last 14months?
You definitely just think that because he didn't have a good game vs city, when he came straight into the team without any pre-season.
@@MsRQD no. It’s because he was objectively better when he switched to CAM

Palmer at Real Madrid 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Cole Palmer does not Start for Barca
Lmao yes he does he’d start in the 10 and pedri would be the 8
@@brandoningram6526 Hmmm I think it’s a debate. Palmer is a baller though 100%
@@d1ordk808 not really a debate, what would you do instead. Pedri is a great player but respectfully he’s not better than Palmer and even if you think he is why not play both instead of 1.
I think y’all getting carried away too soon
Better then Odegaard , Come on now
Hes so clear you dont even know 😂
He’s just scored 4 goals in a half mate and has the most g/a in the league since he’s joined. I’m no stat merchant but you have to respect quality. Also Ø and Palmer aren’t really comparable, one is a second striker and the other is an 8
People are honestly so quick to judge either a good or bad thing so quickly, I'd rather have Ode, at Arsenal, wait till teams maybe show a bit more respect to him, and double up on him like they do to all big teams and see his numbers drop. He is the flavour of the minute, I'd rather have a 3/4 amazing seasons.
@@teputhtu most Arsenal fans don't even want Odegaard in the team but you want him over one of the best players in Europe 😂. I at least admire your loyalty, cos it's not truthful, you can't believe Odegaard is better than Palmer, not if you actually watch football.
@@scottyh1238 most arsenal fans don’t want Ødegaard in the team? You and I both know that’s a load of bollocks mate, he’s a great player.
First 🫡
Best player should be judged by if you were making a team to win the treble with unlimited funds, who would you buy first. Not potential, not past performances, who will he better this season. Its obviously haaland
Not obvious at all palmer has potential to eclipse haaland
I think that champions league argument is now void. Fulham/brighton/Newcastle are infinitely more resourceful and better than teams like Girona etc. could ever be. I think the prem is now the super league, if you can do it here, it can be done anywhere
Second 😀
Palmer isn’t better than odegaard
Second
Next week Foden scores 4 goals suddenly he's the best player in the world 😂
But palmer has the most goal contributions since last season.😂 And it's not the second time he scored 4 in a game
@@WubpiRudy this doesn't make you the best player i will rate him when he plays big games and dominates man haven't even play one ko stage ucl game i can't rate him as the best in the world
@@Chillguy850 mate he has a goal in the euros final and last season he scored against United city spurs arsenal .
Luckily that will never happen. He has the most goal contributions in the prem since he joined. He’s scored/assisted in big PL games, in Euros final/quarter final. He don’t need to play a ucl knockout game to confirm his quality. When he gets there he will show it but for now we already know what he is.
Overrated. Will end up like Dele Alli, another English hype job. Mark my words.
Praying on another man’s downfall especially when they seem pretty chill is so sad. Do better man.
@@brandoningram6526 Who is praying for anything? They're just the facts. Do better.

Nice rage bait
@@maximusorbis2548 We'll see, won't we?
no! stop this! He isn't anywhere near being the best in the league!
No, next question.
you're in tears
Nostalgia merchants yet again
@@zikorajoe7093 How is it nostalgia to say Palmer is overrated and not the best in the world. He's not better than half of the City team. Liverpool, Arsenal, etc all have great players. Look in the world stage, with Barca, Madrid, Inter, Bayern. Palmer is lucky if he gets in the top 50.
@@Al-ji4gd he’s not top 50😂, that’s clearly biased, because they are many stats/eye tests or what ever you want to judge Palmer on , where he is top 50 in the world
@@zikorajoe7093 Stats maybe, but those are biased towards attacking players and goalscorers, anyway, and the eye test, definitely not lol.
Jude Bellingham is so far from the likes of Cole Palmer in the pecking order man. Come on now. England has to adjust but not that kid. He’s the best player in the world and you want him to sit deep for someone like Cole Palmer when he doesn’t even do that for Mbappé and Vinicius? England should ask where would Bellingham want to play and play him there. Also, keep the 10 shirt give him the 5 maybe there’s some magic voodoo for that. Don’t be too much like Zidane. Lol
What a weird comment
First, Bellingham is not even a 10, he is more of a false 9 or an 8 depending on what the coach wants. He does not have the ability to control the pace of the attack like a 10. He is a great player in transition, he has great technique in his shot, final pass and work rate, but he does not have the ability to operate under pressure or in confined spaces. Second, Bellingham is not even the best on his team. Vinisius and Valverde are both better and more important for their team. He was very good for half the season, but after that stretch his productivity dropped, which gave him the possibility of having that position.
Bellingham is not a 10 bro
What type of glaze is this, he played where he wanted in the Euros and over the whole tournament he was average at best and he doesn’t have the creativity required. He’s not the best player in the world and he’s not better than Palmer.
