VERY SAD NEWS has been announced for Chelsea Star Cole Palmer this morning after he was substituted against Sheffield United
Mauricio Pochettino has talked about why he took Cole Palmer off with 20 minutes left in the Premier League game against Sheffield United.
The England player came into the game having just scored an amazing hat-trick in a thrilling comeback win over Manchester United the previous Thursday.
Noni Madueke, who played well off the bench in that win, was put in the starting lineup with Thiago Silva.
He and Jayden Bogle scored both goals for Chelsea after Bogle’s lucky finish from close range.
There were a lot of worries that he might have hurt himself because he wasn’t playing as much as usual and cameras caught him holding his back in pain.
But Pochettino quickly allayed those fears in his press conference. When asked by football.london if he was hurt, Pochettino said, “No, no, no.”
He looked like he was tired. It seemed like he was tired to me. We won 2-1, and Carney is another No. 10 who can play there and do the job. I believe we are content with him.
“He needs to be safe. He took a knock against Manchester United and was a little more tired than usual, but we wanted to keep him safe after he scored the second goal.
Trying to stay away from a problem in the future.” After scoring, he said, “Very frustrating because we gave up in the first half after we scored.”
Then in the last few minutes you give up. You always feel very let down and angry. This is what I want to say: the draw is fair.
We didn’t make enough, even if we have power and possession. We didn’t show that we could be solid and strong.
I’m sorry to hear that. In the beginning of the season, we were a little more stable, but we weren’t making as many plays. We’re getting more goals but giving them away more. “It’s hard to find the right mix.”
We tried changing things up by using different people and the field in different ways. In the past few months, the team hasn’t shown that it can be strong. “They punish us because we score goals but give them away.”
