Cole Palmer is most definitely not one of Chelsea’s many issues, according to Don Hutchison. Who recently discussed about Chelsea‘s many problems on ESPN. Hutchison is a former player for Liverpool.
It comes as no surprise considering how well the 21-year-old has performed for the team since joining from Manchester City in the summer. Cole scored his sixth Premier League goal over the weekend against Sheffield United.
Cole Palmer the brain of Chelsea
Hutchison, who also weighed in on Romeo Lavia, another new addition for Chelsea. Complimented Cole but was harsh on the Blues as a whole.
Discussing Cole and Chelsea. Hutchison said: “Cole Palmer’s the brain of the outfit at the top of the pitch where he’s going to be an amazing player. But Reece James, there’s a stat with Reece James where he’s not played three games in a row for something close to three years.
“Thiago Silva’s still one of their best centre-halves and he’s 39. It’s like, we just don’t know what we’re watching week to week and nine times out of 10, they’re going to lose, but when they play a team in and around the bottom four or five, they might pick up a win. But it just sort of papers over the cracks a little bit until they play a top side again.”
Palmer is a major asset to Chelsea
Cole is this Chelsea team’s most likely genius. In the last third, it is him who creates the action.
The England international is making the most crucial passes per game of any player in Pochettino’s lineup, 1.6 per game, according to Who Scored. Only Nicolas Jackson has scored more goals in the Premier League than him, and he is also netting goals for Chelsea.
Cole is only twenty-one years old, which is amazing. He plays at Stamford Bridge and in the premier league as though he has been there for years. The former City player now appears to have a very promising future.
Palmer and Chelsea will play Newcastle United in a Carabao Cup match at Stamford Bridge next. If they prevail in that, they will guarantee their place in the competition’s semifinals.
