Chelsea’s Cole Palmer stuck in the crowd as his struggles continue against Southampton – the Premier League of Hits and Misses | Football news

Palmer is stuck in the hair
Chelsea’s Southampton hammer has provided the perfect platform for some of the weak performances of Enzo Marec to rediscover their confidence. But that was not the case for Cole Palmer.
The 22-year-old failed to score for seven games. Even his creativity dried. It was a stretch of 14 games without assistance for Chelsea’s Talisman.
For the first time in his professional career, Palmer found himself in a route. And he doesn’t know how to get it out of it.
Palmer’s basic numbers that set out to this game suggested that the problem was not just lying with him. No player in the league created as much chance as he in the 13 games that preceded this.
The game on Tuesday night, however, revealed a player who is short confidence. It’s easy to forget, just a few moments before the first two goals of Chelsea, but Palmer had two great chances.
Aaron Ramsdale stopped the first one, but half a naked scored for Palmer to score. Then he looked in two minds for shooting and passing when he played on the right.
Palmer has more than enough loan at the bank to shrug this ride. It is the first dipping in the glittering first 18 months in senior football as a regular starter in which he barely put a mistake.
Maresca a little doubt that this moment will pass soon. “All the big players go through the bad moments in which they fight for a goal,” Chelsea’s chief said after the game.
“At this point, Cole is fighting for the right things, but he is happy. He knows that this is something normal.
“Fortunately, Cole had time in a big club with big players and knows that players go through these moments. He responds perfectly, laughs. He has to enjoy football.”
But the heavier tests lie in advance for Chelsea and they will need their star to find their way from this hole if they want to be serious candidates for the Champions League qualifying.

In the guests of the Villa Season
Aston Villa has a favorable Champions League in the last 16-16 from Club Brugge to look forward to the next month. They were supposed to enjoy participating in the competition while lasting.
Their chances of qualifying for this again hit a huge 4-1 defeat in Crystal Palace, a result that leaves them in 10th place and points out, again, their struggles away from Villa Park. There are now seven defeats from the last nine games in the Premier League. Their record on the road is the sixth worst in the division this season.
It is not sustainable that the true aspirations of the Champions League qualifiers rely so much on their home shape, but there is little evidence of improvement of the situation.
In fact, this was probably their worst defeat. The palace repeatedly made their way through them. The rear value was not flattered by them. Morgan Rogers made a great goal in front of Thomas Tuchel, but it was the only positive one on a dark night, which also had a potential injury to goalkeeper Emie Martinez.
Unai Emery has to find a solution for their road fighting, given the next two Premier League games, they are taking place at the Brentford Stadium Gtech Community and Brighton’s Amex. There is also a little thing of that trip to Brugge he is struggling with. At this point, their visiting form threatens to ruin their campaign.

Wharton acts like Tuchel watching
Given that the head of England Thomas Tuchel watched, it was a somewhat perfect moment for Adam Wharton to return to the crystal palace that began eleven for a long time.
It was also a representation, the 21-year-old returned back to the middle of the palace, with his hand in three goals of the palace, and at the same time made a number of last thirds than any other Palace player with 14.
Oliver Glasner said that after the game it was rusting the beginning of the midfielder, who would then acclimatize after a four -month discharge.
“He played great,” Glasner said.
“When you see the second goal, with his passage of Eberechi eze. This is his quality, his on-guy. It is also one of our habits, winning the ball on a semi-right side, crossing the semi-left side and you have one or two Touch, and he has the quality of finding a player, he has the quality of doing the passage in the right way.
Last summer, Wharton was a forgotten man as an unused member of the euro Gareth Southgate, but Tuchel gave the performance he remembered while Palace put Aston Villa in the sword.

MINTEH UNSUNG HERO WHICH SUBSTANTED THE TON BRIGHTON
Brighton could only be on something special between the now and the end of the campaign based on their fantastic front four, which is currently swinging and rolling. Georgino Rutter was blinded in his pocket, occasionally with Joao Pedro to make occasionally devastating effect. There is a wavelength that makes Brighton such a dangerous team.
Kaoro Mitoma also offers such quality wide, but that caught the performance of Yankuba Minteh without a ball. He was phenomenal from possession in terms of a work rate and ensured that Tariq Lamptey did not overcome Antoine Semenyo.
Minteh made a whopping seven fights in the match – the most player. It’s not bad for someone who should play as a wing player. His enthusiasm to bother to set a tone for Brighton to register a huge three points.

Sessegnon reminds her best that the force is still to be counted
Ryan Sessegnon had to be extremely patient. His previous start of the Premier League came to Tottenham in a 2-0 defeat of Arsenal more than two years ago. Fifty -eight seconds in his next start in the competition, he had his great moment, achieving the opener.
Fulham’s fans know what their former boy Wonder is able to deliver, that precise ending in the far corner typical of so much that he achieved in the past, the catalyst behind their promotion in 2018, when he was a player of the championship of the year.
“The player started at 16 at a high level, I think we are all here and probably all who love football in this country recognized at the moment that he will have an incredible career because he was a top, top, top talent,” said Fulham chief Marco Silva from Molineux.
But after that, injuries came, a lot of them, a unusual career. Now 24, he returned to Craven Cottage and renewed. He finally gave him the opportunity to start after stimulating signs at the Cup competitions, he showed that there could still be a force.
“You have to keep it healthy,” Silva added. “Again, he must be convinced of the rhythm, the intensity and demands of the Premier League because the other things he has.”
A goal in the third consecutive away win will help Sessegnon.
