Cole Palmer picked up a red card against Spurs last weekend and it ruined Chelsea’s hopes of a comeback in this game.
It was a silly few minutes from the forward, who on both occasions showed real nervousness and lack of discipline.
Alonso spoke with the star player after the red card game
“Yes, we talked about the game, about what we can develop for itself, but that’s what we always do,” Alonso said.
“I don’t know how many red cards he got. Is this the first? I mean, we don’t want that to happen again. For him, he’s the first. [to understand he made a mistake]. So we talked more about football, about what we need, because Cole is smart, he loves the game, he loves to enjoy it, and that’s the main thing we talk about.”
Palmer will be needed more than ever tomorrow as the team is now missing several key starters. Joao Pedro is missing in attack, others need to score more goals. This includes Cole. This is the perfect chance to make up for his misdeeds.
