Fulham 2-3 Chelsea, Player Ratings: Premium Ice

Chelsea’s new-look entrance three mixed for 5 objective contributions throughout our three objectives, with Palmer and João Pedro taking it in turns to set one another up for objectives and Palmer additionally getting the secondary help (unofficial stat) on Rogers’ objective. In the event that they preserve going at this charge, the “Chilly” celebration goes to get performed out actual quick. Let’s hope it does!

For Palmer particularly, this was nearly as good of a primary recreation of the season as we may’ve hoped for. After that tremendous debut season, the final two campaigns have gotten successively worse for the 24-year-old, so hopefully this efficiency is an indication of issues to come back. Palmer had the entire summer time off to relaxation, recuperate, and reverse the pattern.

And he would additionally such as you to purchase his ice.

JP was on fireplace in preseason and he’s continued that with a objective simply 31 seconds into the brand new season. He was inches away from a second afterward, however it was nice to see the partnership between him and Palmer flourishing after some questions on their interaction and compatibility final season. Sprinkle in a little bit of Rogers, and we is likely to be cooking this season.

Rogers was simply overwhelmed out for the third spot by fellow new signing Lacroix, who was an actual stabilizing pressure within the coronary heart of the protection, and even popped up with a vital little bit of contribution within the different field, organising our second objective. However it was actually his off the ball play that’s giving hope, particularly on a day when two of our key gamers on the again, Robert Sánchez and Levi Colwill have been struggling a bit (or rather a lot, because it have been).
