Palmer's stats when played as a right winger vs. as an attacking midfielder look similar until you put them into context.

7 out of the 13 goals Palmer scored on the right wing were penalties, so that's 5 non-penalty goals and 5 assists in 20 games.

As an attacking midfielder, only 1 out of his 13 goals was a penalty (one against Everton at home), so that's 12 non-penalty goals and 7 assists in 19 games.

It's obvious which position he excels in, and playing Madueke or Neto on the right would fit Maresca's system better anyway.

Palmer's situation is identical to Foden's. Foden, playing as a right winger, produced 5 goals and 4 assists in 21 games. As an attacking midfielder, he got 13 goals and 4 assists in 15 games. Just like Palmer, he had the same number of assists with a drastic increase in goals, which is why Pep is moving him centrally this year. It's clear Palmer is best centrally, and in my opinion, it's not worth shifting him to the right to accommodate Nkunku centrally.

We lost on xg but won the actual game 😭

I don't recognise my club anymore

Conor G stepped out for his Atleti debut yesterday. This is what Diego Simeone had to say about him.

“Conor Gallagher has something you can’t buy anywhere—passion, pace, rhythm.”

“When you have players like that, you need to help them so that their adrenaline contributes to the team. He came in with a lot of intensity. He will need some time to settle into positions.”

Lmao

The vibes are back 🤣

English Translation

They haven’t yet passed the ball to the person that will pass to Neto but he’s already on full speed making a run

The difference between Neto and Mudryk is just one thing. Neto actually utilizes his pace intelligently, Mudryk doesn't.
