Mauricio Pochettino hιts back at Cole Palmer in heated discussion about Chelsea’s starting lineup

Mauricio Pochettino has stated that “on the pitch” is where Cole Palmer is most effective.

In Chelsea’s 0-0 draw with Aston Villa in the FA Cup fourth round at Stamford Bridge, the Argentine began the 20-year-old up front, but he missed many good opportunities.

After seeing action as a striker, winger, and center оffensive midfielder, it’s fair to wonder where Palmer is at his best.

When asked about his preferred viewing location for Chelsea’s leading scorer and greatest creator, Palmer, he responded with a simple, “I prefer him on the pitch at the moment!”

“But watch out, because he might get the impression he has to play all the time after reading this,” he said. In order to continue performing at this level, he must continue to develop; he is still rather young.

No, I don’t think he can score in every single game. That’s why I think it’s just a coincidence, Pochettino said when asked about Palmer’s struggles as a No. 9. If he did, we might want to rethink calling him Cole Palmer and instead refer to him as Leo Messi.

It has nothing to do with his position, and he has tremendous potential. Sometimes you win and other times you lose. Even when he’s doing well, there are nights when you have better luck.

We never criticize his performances since he is consistently excellent; he is a versatile player who can play in a variety of places. The thing is, he always creates incredible scoring opportunities, even when he doesn’t score himself.

Defending sensation Alfie Gilchrist, meanwhile, has been on fire as of late and looked good in his Premier League debut.

Due to the continued absence of several Chelsea stars due to ιnjury, Pochettino is prepared to start more players from the academy.

“For me, it is always important, if you see my career as a coach at Espanyol, Tottenham and Paris or now,” said the coach.

For the club’s reputation, it’s crucial. This individual has an emotional connection to the shirt and badge, which is why it’s so significant. The club’s identity relies on having some guys, but it’s always a mix.

When players are out with injuries, there is often little choice but to take advantage of situations like this since we are in Chelsea and we should win. Both of us must be prepared to assist them in making the most of these possibilities. That is indeed our duty to the club as well.
