Chelsea fans have said Poch has not designated a pen taker? How do you know it's Palmer?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Because he takes all the pens. And scores them.
I'm not privy to Poch's conversations with players so obviously I don't know for sure, but a little bit of common sense would surely lead you to think Palmer takes the pens.

Embarrassing.
As Dele Alli pointed out, they weren't all arguing over taking a penalty against United in the 100th minute when the score was 3-3.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, Dele was actually wrong about that. Madueke got in a bit of a
huff he wasn't allowed to take that one as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/chelseafc/s/vpybIqfsjc
Chelsea do seem to have knack kof producing these mad embarrassing incidents. I was at Wembley when Kepa refused to come off and Sarri was doing his nut. The single entertaining part of that game.
Embarrassing is a little bit much, was stupid & unnecessary & we've got form for this nonsense.
I'm a little disappointed in Palmer personally. Madueke & Jackson are whatever, in the grand scheme of things I've got no expectations of either so who cares? Palmer's the grown up (shouldn't be but he is) - at 4-0 up just give the baby his rattle

-------------------------------------------------------------
Kepa never recovered from that.
In these incidents, you've got to be self aware enough to know who people are going to side with & 99% of the time it has nothing to do with the incident itself. Cech for e.g, especially with Sarri as the manager, can do that. Kepa? Nope.
Same here. Nobodies siding with Madueke or Jackson over Palmer! Daft children.
For me I have to agree with people like Chopper's new boots that Pochettino is quite a bit to blame for this. I would go back even further than Sterling's antics with the penalties this season.
For me the moment the line should have been drawn in the sand was the Wolves game at Molineux when sterling was right through one on one with the goalkeeper and had Jackson and Palmer at his side and he should have just drawn the keeper and then slipped it to one of them to tap into an empty net.
Instead he greedily and selfishly tries to score himself and instead of going 1-0 up and I think winning the game we eventually go 1-0 down and lose it. IMO He should have been hauled off by Pochettino before half time in that game for that. Clearly wasn't playing for the team.
This weakness is what has led to where we are now. Having said that it was good to see that lessons have now been learned and Gallagher got involved and MP made a strong statement afterwards. Hopefully that will be the end of this sort of nonsense.
