I think I’m sticking with Palmer… 🧢

Would be my third time in a row captaining him. Maybe that’s a sign to everyone else not to captain him. Somehow I’ve managed green arrows despite messing my captain up. What could have been 😂

The minutes are a slight concern for me, for Salah. I also don’t know how Liverpool will play in the sense that it could be a 2-0 and done kind of game. Southampton can cause problems. Slot said it himself in his press conference and compared their style and setup to PSG but naturally not filled with the quality or execution (he didn’t say the latter but that much is clear!). 

The game could go one of a few ways… 1) Liverpool dominate possession, score a couple of goals and take their foot off the gas and win 2-0. 2) Liverpool go on a spree and score 4+ goals or 3) Southampton grab a goal and make it difficult, with Liverpool needing to score 3/4+ goals to put the game to bed. Salah’s minutes change drastically depending on the scenario. That last scenario could see Salah on for 80 minutes+. 

Palmer is a flat-track bully and didn’t get the points against Southampton himself… this could be one of those games where he stat pads. Chelsea, as a team, bully the lower down the table sides so it could be another 3 or 4 goals they score where this time I hope to be on the right side of the returns. He’s so out of form though. 

This is a big decision and likely a stupid one. 

Writing all this down so I can look at it later when I am the fool once again who captained Cole Palmer over Mo Salah 😂

GL all and go with your gut! 

Wife: he’s probably thinking of something disgusting…
