Cole Palmer was ruled out from the Chelsea meeting with West Ham on Friday after suffering an injury in heating.

The 23-year-old player, previously mentioned in XI Early, limp only a few moments before kick-off.

Shortly after, Enzo Marsca told Sky Sports that Palmer had “felt something”, but emphasized that it was a precautionary act and they did not want to take risks with him.

The Italian then revealed that Palmer had played through the groin and now it would be assessed.

“Cole in the last four or five days is not 100%. Today he tries in warming up, but he feels something, so we prefer not to take risks and make it worse, and we will look at the following hours if it’s something important or not.

“This is the problem of the groin. This has become a palace game that is not 100%, but he has tried to make big efforts for the club, for the team, for fans, because he was really interested in the team. Tonight, he tried again but it wasn’t too good.” – Enzo Marsca in Cole Palmer

Not palmer, no problem

Stalk (£ 6.5 million) quickly took the Palmer place at the Starting XI.

The Brazilian player lined up on the right Joao Pedro (£ 7.5 million) in the hole, Liam delap (£ 6.5 million) in front of and Pedro Neto (£ 7.0 million) from the left.

After being completed, Chelsea were not affected by Palmer’s absence, because they gathered seven (!) Great opportunities, with five different players get goalscorers.

Stop by pocket, Pedro is extraordinary.

He scored once, helped twice and easily Chelsea’s best players. Utilizing the space given to him by West Ham, he ended the match with three shots and two great opportunities created.

“Joao, as we have said many times, can give us different choices. Liam, we know, is a central striker, he can play together with Joao as two strikers, or one striker with Joao moves a little around or wide.” – Enzo Marsca at Joao Pedro and Liam Delap both started

MARESCA DI ESTEVAO

As for estevao, he took the opportunity, preparing Enzo Fernandez (£ 6.5 million) for simple tap-in during the first half. He almost scored a goal too Reece James‘(£ 5.5 million) Pinpoint pass places it.

Which said, he did give the ball to open West Ham.

“We conceded a goal because of him, he lost the ball in building, so he needs to make mistakes to learn, but overall his performance is very good. His reaction to the mistake shows how good he is, and the reason why he is here with us.” – Enzo Marsca in Estevao

Elsewhere, Enzo scored and helped and entered several very good positions deep in the West Ham box, while Malo likes (£ 5.0 million) and Marc Cucurella (£ 6.0 million) caused many problems with their out-to-in run.

Tosin Adarabiyo (£ 4.5 million), meanwhile, preferred Josh Acheampong (£ 4.0 million) behind.

“First of all, we must say Josh [Acheampong] Successfully against Palace, but we gave the game to Josh last year, so we trusted Josh 100%. Tosin gives us a lot of things, in terms of experience, managing moments, and certainly, in this kind of game with a big striker in front, Soucek is there, he will help us with a long ball. “ – Enzo Marsca about its changes in defense

West Ham collapsed

As in Sunderland last week, West Ham was too easily beaten.

The Hammers have now suffered successive defeats, conceded eight goals in the process, with most of the goal concessions originating from the cross.

Given how open they are on Friday, plus the lack of intensity of entry and out of ownership, it feels like Graham Potter is under pressure.

Lucas Package (£ 5.9 million) succeeded in giving the host of the initial advantage El Hadji Malick Dioufgraduated (£ 4.5 million).

They also have files Niclas FullKrug (£ 6.0 million) The purpose is prohibited for offside.

However, it is natural to say Chelsea will not have an easier match throughout the season Mads Hermansen (£ 4.5 million) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£ 4.5 million) is very bad.

It is also worth noting that the three-back-back formation only lasts until part time, with Godline (£ 4.5 million) and fullkrug was replaced by Freddie Potts (£ 4.5 million) and Callum Wilson (£ 6.0 million).

After that change, Paqueta was deployed on the left, Jarrod Bowen (£ 8.0 million), West Ham’s best player, on the right, and Wilson in the middle.

That resulted in a busy opportunity in the second half, but at that time, Chelsea was not visible.

It is not easier for West Ham, with some difficult equipment on the horizon:

Meanwhile, Nayef Aguerd (£ 4.5 million) is the only player from both sides to get defensive contribution points (Defcon) on Friday.

This is very disappointing, of course, with the results, by way of its destination. I think they are too cheap. I think when you do that, it gives yourself a real challenge in the Premier League, and especially when it is a team with the talent and quality of Chelsea. It was a difficult night for us. I think it might determine the tone, the first target, too, also easy. “ – Graham Potter
